Thoughts on the rocks

the artistic process

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Thoughts on the Rocks, a safe space for you to feel reassured of your anxieties, to let go of negative feelings and enter a deep relaxing vulnerable state with me :) In this episode I uncover a series of topics mainly focused on the artistic process, I talk about the different feelings of pressure, anxiety and worry that we have as artists and how to combat them, how to approach them differently while offering my own personal stories. I would like to also shoutout my dear partner Sam on here, I’m trying to share as much of his work as I can. He is a film photographer that captures beautiful spontaneous moments, capturing stories in every picture of his that bring a sense of warmth, comfort, intimacy, while also allowing space for curiosity and food for thought. He will be having a photography exhibition in Greenville, SC from the 5th of October til the 1st of November.

healing through sound and music

Do you listen to music? What kind of music do you listen to? Music has influenced me in many ways, it’s helped to heal wounds, get me through life, create beautiful vibes with others… it has so much power and gives me so much freedom to express myself artistically, emotionally, physically, etc. So today I delve deeper into how music affects and influences our moods and how we have the power to control how we feel with music, how we have the freedom to make our days special with sounds, vibrations, lyrics… Thank you all for tuning in, your feedback is also much appreciated and encouraged here 🤍

conscious eating, what is healthy?

Today’s episode is a longer one since it’s a topic that really resonates with how I feel and think on a daily basis, I wanted to reflect and focus on different definitions of the word “healthy”. Healthy can mean something so different to you and to me, but at the end of the discussions and debates we came to the conclusion that the word “healthy” is not defined by how you look, but how you genuinely feel internally. In this episode I also discuss a story and personal routine of a close friend of mine that practices mindful/conscious eating which I thought was quite interesting and a new way of consuming food on a daily basis. Let me know what you think of this type of topic and if you want to hear more of this type of discussion. Thank you all for tuning in and taking the time out of your day to fully pay attention to my thoughts and ideas, it means the world to me. I am eternally grateful for all of you lovely souls. 🤍 stay mindful :)

the power of words

In this episode we will be covering the importance of words, the impact they have on us. How words influence the way we act and believe in ourselves, how we even see the world. It starts with our inner dialogue, if we don’t have a positive inner dialogue we won’t move forward like we want to. Just like my inspiration Hindz said “We’re all hardwired a little bit different, but we all have the ability to rewire the mind”. It’s possible to rewire our minds to a more positive one, a mind that truly believes you can go far in life but it starts with you. It starts with those comments you make to yourself that no one else hears… how do words impact us? Come join me in this journey of discovery where I talk about just that. 🤍 much love to all of you

gratitude: a path to healing

In this episode I uncover the importance of gratitude, and practicing it in your daily routine. It can be expressed in many different ways, and sometimes we have a hard time finding the positives and tapping into a grateful mindset when we go through traumatic experiences in life… today I share with you the hardest life experience I had to go through and how I struggled to find good things and lessons from it. It took me years and years to finally start seeing a few good things outcomes from this situation. There are days that are easier than others, today was one of the days I felt like sharing my story. DISCLAIMER 🟠 there are mentions of sexual assault, toxic relationships, physical and verbal abuse in this episode. They are not described in depth however mentioning these topics could be easy triggers for some people so I advise you to not listen if you don’t think you can handle it. Once again thank you for following me and my journey, and for welcoming me to be vulnerable here. I appreciate you and I am grateful for you ;)
