Navigating change: Insights into change management with Flo Akingbade

"Shreveport Storms" - Track 11 from "Echoes of a Life"

A soulful folk ballad that weaves together the complexities of coming home to Louisiana. Through the bittersweet conjunction of a wedding and funeral, through casino nights with mom and the challenges of rebuilding, this track flows like the Red River itself. From precious moments of family connection to the growing need for independence, the song captures ten months of transition in Shreveport's embrace.

Featuring gentle acoustic guitar, emotive piano, and Southern-influenced rhythms, the arrangement honors both the weight and warmth of homecoming. The subtle swing and heartfelt vocals carry us through storms of change while celebrating the deep bonds of family.

Lyrics:

Wedding bells and funeral songs
Dancing through one autumn dawn
Heather held on just long enough
To see her brother's wedding vows
Some stories end before we're ready
Some beginnings come too slow

Shreveport storms keep rolling in
While German bills keep calling
Mother needs me closer now
As old dreams keep falling
But through these Louisiana nights
I'm learning how to stand alone

Dating scenes in local bars
Where stories cut too deep to tell
Working jobs that barely pay
While distance drains my savings dry
Sometimes love means cutting ties
When someone won't help themselves

Between the life I had to leave
And the life I need to build
Some choices clear the thunder
While others fight the rain
As Dallas lights are calling now
Through Shreveport's stormy haze

Ten months of treading water
In a place that's hard to grow
Mother's smile worth every day
Though wings need room to spread
Sometimes coming home again
Means learning when to go

Shreveport storms keep rolling through
While changes keep on calling
Mother holds me closer now
As new dreams start forming
And through these Louisiana nights
I'm learning to be strong

Where the doves still fly

Welcome to Episode 18 of The Brain Changers™. In this episode, we’re tackling a habit we’ve all fallen into - procrastination. But here’s the twist: procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s not a flaw in your personality. It’s actually a stress response. We’re diving into the neuroscience behind why you put things off, why your brain keeps you stuck in the cycle, and, most importantly, how to break free. If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling, cleaning, or doing literally anything but the thing you need to do, this one’s for you.  

We’ll share a simple three-step system that will help you shift from stuck to unstoppable. You’ll learn the secret weapon to stop procrastination in the future, how to uncover the real reason you’re procrastinating (spoiler: it’s not just about the task), and a powerful technique to snap yourself into action immediately.  Plus, we’ll drop a quick language hack that can transform the way you approach your to-do list. 

Ready to stop feeling guilty and start getting things done? Let’s go.  

Topics discussed:
Why procrastination isn’t laziness—it’s a stress response
