Day 1 "Dropping the Labels"  #UNADULTING 
Share & Let's Live! w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

Today is the first of my new series, "Un-Adulting December." This month I am working on being more present, having more fun, being more in alignment, and doing less existing and more living. 

Adulting by your definition might not be a bad thing, but adulting by my definition is doing all the things "everyone" has collectively agreed is what makes you an adult. Does this mean I'm going to stop feeding my child or begin feeding her sweets all day? No. Does this mean that I'm going to start driving with my feet? No. But what it might mean is that when I feel like rushing to the store to grab something in the middle of the night, I'll ignore that voice that says, "You can't wear your ducky slippers to Walgreens." lol I may let it be okay to skip through the parking lot if I get the urge, rather than walk like a sensible adult. I may buy myself a game system for Christmas instead of an upgrade of Turbo Tax. And I'm releasing the rules of how I need to do things because according to the label I placed on myself (i.e. "introverted), or that others placed on me (i.e. "shy"). I can have a tendency to be introverted and still choose to introduce myself first to someone. I can be a "good mom" and get my daughter McDonald's for dinner because I don't feel like cooking, today. I can be happily single and still choose to go out on a date because companionship is fun, too. 

I'm giving myself permission to be more me this month. And I'm sharing my journey. I'd love for you to join me. 

Check out my daily podcast Share & Let's Live! with Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist. And each day I'll tell you all about it. 

Blessings!

Day 2 "The Progress Cha Cha" #UNADULTING 
Share & Let's Live! w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

If you are a driven person who tends to succeed, you may find yourself frustrated/confused by people in your life who have ability and potential, but little success. You may wonder why they can't just get it together, or do what you've done to win. 

My podcast today addresses this concept. I think it will be eye-opening for you and for those like me who just can't seem to get it together. 

Check it out, or pass it along. It's a REALLY good one.

Day 3 "Selfcare: Saying 'Yes' to Yourself"  #UNADULTING
Share & Let's Live! w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

If you're a mom, this one's for you. As women, especially mothers, we are taught to sacrifice ourselves down to nothing for the sake of the family. The more we sacrifice the more we're praised. Well... eff that. lol Too many of us run ourselves down until illness is our only opportunity for rest. 

Today's podcast is all about #self-care, and accepting that we get to say, "Yes," to ourselves more, and releasing old beliefs that say we don't get to do so. 

Check it out.

Day 4 "About Taking Things Personally" #UNADULTING Series
Share and Let's Live! w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

Today, I'm adressing one of biggest communication issues in relationships..... taking things personally. 

This topic can apply to any interpersonal (or intimate) relationship. AND in the podcast episode, I spend extra time addressing the dynamic I've noticed particularly in heterosexual relationships where there are kids involved. 

Whether you are in an intimate relationship or not, if you have a tendency toward:
✅ Overthinking
✅ People pleasing
✅ Self-blame
✅ Resentment
✅ Criticism.... 

OR if in your relationship you feel you are being unjustly:
✅ Blamed
✅ Criticized
✅ Questioned.... 

.... you've gotta check out today's #podcast episode of Share and Let's Live! with Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist! 

Blessings!

Day 5 "B*tch, I'm Grown" #UNADULTING #Podcast Series
Share & Let's Live! w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

If you're heading home for the holidays, this one may speak to you. If you have a tendency to not assert yourself, or back down from standing in your truth, when it comes to your parents or immediate family, you should check this one out.

Last night, I had a major shift in my awareness. Certain established family dynamics can cause us to feel uncomfortable being fully ourselves. And I share my stories on the podcast today about coming into my own acceptance that there's a point where relationships have to change... and often that change comes from within. 

Blessings! Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

This is after the patch example by Kees Tazelaar in the Mr. Sonology youtube channel. 

Modules used and patching order:
TipTop ECHOZ mono tape delay signal to
Doepfer A-184-1 (ring modulator)
Malekko Richter Oscillator II (pure sine for ring modulator)
Signal to Make Noise Optomix as VCA
Output Optomix to Doepfer A-128 Fixed Filter Bank
Signal to FX Aid XL for stereo reverb
left output of FX Aid to the damp control on Optomix as limiter
Mult left output to input on TipTop ECHOZ to close the feedback loop.

Maths channel 2 and 3 are used to amplify the signal between the ECHOZ and ring modulator.

Stereo ouput of FX Aid XL is monitored and I am wiggling the A-128. Feedback is jumpstarted by shortly injecting a pulse wave from the Oscillator II.

This is quite a minimal ambient piece that I put together in April 2023. It features an unconventional Reaktor drone, a couple of synth patches from TassMan4 and a Spitfire LABS flute creation, along with plenty of reverb.

Spot the sonic reference to David Lynch.

Edit: 20240120 - I remixed this yesterday, lowering the noise levels in two modules within one instance of TassMan4, then lowered the volume level and re-EQ'd that instance. I also changed the EQ on the LABS instance, and then remastered the track.
