Join me as I geek out about routines and how it's made me the person that I am today for all the good and all the bad!
I also share how I'm trying to maximise my routines as in these crazy times to give me focus, purpose and hopefully keep me sane (although you wouldn't think it looking at me! Ha!)
PS If you wanna read a great book on routines, check out John Lamerton's Routine Machine:

Join me in this episode as I talk about one of my favourite books - Malcolm Gladwell's, Outliers, which talks about the 10,000 hours to master a skill.
I share with you the moment I was nearing this milestone but was nowhere near a master of the drums. Then, how I changed my trajectory to make sure that the next 10000 hours counted to my successful career.

Well, I bet you thought I'd never be talking about Cardi B's WAP, but here we are!
It made me really think about my attitudes and reactions to certain things, how they've changed, why they've changed and why I'm so happy that's the case!
I've officially gone from feeling very angry and upset, to taking lots of positive action, and it feels GREAT! Would recommend :-)

Join me this week as I talked about the Curse of perfection, and how it breeds overwhelm, anxiety, and complete inactivity! So useless! I share with you exactly how I stop myself from being perfect, and as you can see I'm doing a great job! :-D
Don't be perfect, it means you can't grow any more, and growth is so much more important and INTERESTING!
Hope this helps you take that next step from going from a scared perfectionist, to brave action taker!
Sending you lots of love x

In this episode, I wanted to address the idea of having a choice on what you can focus on in this life and how to get through tough times especially in relation to the current global pandemic.
I share how I literally employed the process of wearing blinkers when it matters (to me), affording me the energy and motivation to do the things that truly matter to me - like being here for you.
Sending you lots of love Em x

Join me as I geek out about marginal gains, a concept about taking the parts of you as a musician, or even as a person that you'd like to improve, breaking them down into tiny pieces and then just focusing on getting 1% better at each.
In theory, upon putting all those 1% better parts back together you will become an absolute monster! This is something I've been learning about on my daily walks from a book called Routine Machine by John Lamerton I love it!

Join me in this week's episode as I talk about what to do for the next six months upon the news that we are not going to be moving much further forward especially in the live music sector where most of us were earning our living up until March 2020.
I share what I'm doing to keep as sane, inspired and as hopeful as possible in this unprecedented time. I share what my focuses are, and I hope I can give you some ideas, and motivation to get through the next period we're about to endure.
Just remember, we're creatives, we will pivot and adapt, and at the very least, I'm here with you, and always reach out if you're struggling. You're not alone xxx

It feels like there might be a small light at the end of this pandemic tunnel, but there is also a lot of anxiety for many musicians, so here is my 2 cents on the subject and what I'm concentrating on to work through it :-)
Love to you
