The Things We Carry — Until We Finally Bring Them Forth
For nearly 40 years, I’ve been circling around the same feeling.
There was always something in me — a story, a project, an idea — that hadn’t fully found its way out.
I was making music, working in ecology, performing, creating — but I knew there was something deeper inside that I hadn’t yet expressed.
For me, that became my debut album, which I finally birthed at age 52.
It wasn’t about “releasing music.”
It was about finally bringing together all the fragments of myself into something whole.
But here’s the thing — this isn’t just about music.
We all carry things inside us.
Ideas. Stories. Visions.
Sometimes, even entire ways of working and thinking that we keep circling back to, but never fully claim.
That’s exactly what happened with this very coaching practice — Choose to Become.
I was having a casual conversation with a friend, talking freely as I do — symbols, Jungian stuff, coaching, understanding patterns…
And she just looked at me and said:
“You keep coming back to this. You’re always thinking in this way. You’ve always said you should be doing this.”
Then she said:
“You better do it then!”
And here we are.
For me, Choose to Become is another example of that same process — finally giving form to something that had been inside for years.
You don’t need to be a musician or an artist to feel this.
Maybe there’s an idea, a project, or simply a part of yourself that’s been waiting to emerge.
The longer we leave it, the heavier it can feel.
That’s what my work is about — helping people bring those things forth.
It doesn’t have to be loud. It doesn’t have to be public.
But it does have to be yours.
