Isn’t it Time to Do Something for Yourself? (And let the new skill you learn move you to greater heights?!)

Hi Reader,

For the longest time, I put everyone else first. I was constantly looking out for others, making sure their needs were met before ever considering my own. And sure, we’ve all heard the saying—you have to put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. But I always felt like I was okay. Even when life felt chaotic, I believed I had it under control—at least more so than the people I cared about.

Some of the people I turned to for support suggested that maybe I was pouring into others, so I wouldn’t have to face my own struggles. Maybe they were right. But no matter the reason, I found it hard to justify doing something just for me.

That started to shift when I began prioritizing my own goals. One small decision—taking weekly voice lessons—sparked real change. Not only did I gain more confidence in my singing, but my songwriting also improved, and even my personal relationships began to strengthen in unexpected ways.

So here’s my challenge to you: If you’re ready to start doing something for yourself—to explore songwriting and experience the healing power of the arts—I’d be honored to be your guide. Click the button below to book a free one-on-one online mini-session with me, and let's get started today!

To your continued happiness and success,

~Andrea of BLB ✨💜🎶

Weekly Newsletter 3.20.25 Are You Aware of Your Subconscious Patterns? (And that we operate 90-95% of the time from our subconscious mind?!) Hi Reader, Did you know that the key to all healing is awareness? And the fact that our subconscious mind controls 90-95% of our thoughts and behaviors, means that we need to build our awareness in order to respond consciously. Our subconscious mind begins to form from the time we are born until we are about 7 or 8 years old. So basically, everything...

Weekly Newsletter 3.13.25 Why Co-Writing Works So Well! (Trust me, been there, done that!) Hi Reader, For a long time, I wrote all of my songs on my own. When I first started writing as a teenager, it was difficult for me to share my songs with anyone—except for my guitar teacher, who not only taught me how to write songs but was also my biggest cheerleader. My songs were so personal that sharing them felt like revealing a page from my diary. I had to build up the courage to even play them...
