011: Committing to Purpose & Making Authentic Music

011: Committing to Purpose & Making Authentic Music

In this episode, we discuss Lyndsay's music, her creation process, how she decided to courageously commit to following her dream of making authentic music that is medicinal for the times. Her music is so soulful and I find it always brings me back to myself when I'm feeling misaligned. 

Lyndsay Stone is a singer/songwriter who wants to be seen in her messy, colorful, and whole-hearted process of healing in this time of complete global chaos. Lyndsay writes from her personal experiences with love, loss, grief, growth, outrage, and transformation. Inspired by bold songwriters in the folk, rock, indie, and r&b genres, Lyndsay communicates her experiences with what's been referred to as "haunting, giving, emotionally kinetic" lyrics and "delicate, propulsive" acoustic guitar fingerpicking. 

Originally a student of classical violin, Lyndsay's produced music features cello and violin arrangements as well as a full rock band, and these works can be found on all streaming platforms. Lyndsay just completed her first cross country tour from her home of 7 years in California to her birthplace in Connecticut, where she is recording her first full-length album, learning to be an aunt to her first niece, and re-connecting with her home roots.

Here are the links below to stay connected to Lyndsay & her music:

MUD / WTR is my go-to coffee alternative. I love me a warm morning coffee concoction… the taste, the smell, all of it.

MUD / WTR is a magic potion full of adaptogens like lion’s mane, cordyceps, chaga, rieshi, turmeric, and more!

008: The Cost of Feeling Purposeless

008: The Cost of Feeling Purposeless

In this episode, I share an update from my "sabbatical mode" and a reading from chapter one of the rough draft of my first book. It's something I've been playing with this month that I want to share with you all. Given the increasing awareness of the mental health crisis we're living through and the autumn season we're entering and all the darkness within us it can often stir up, It felt important to put out there. 

BIG love always, 

Shelby
