Freedom from Stress

One year ago, beneath South Florida's endless sky, I found my first sanctuary of healing. Eight beds held eight stories; silence spoke louder than the ocean's whispers. In that space between darkness and dawn, I learned that emergence begins not with a map but with a single breath of courage.

When the mirrors show a stranger, remember: healing isn't about finding who you were but discovering who you're becoming.

Verse 1
Looking back, it felt like home, a place to heal, a space to grow
Eight beds, soft lights, and open doors, but shadows called me from below
They said just breathe, but I couldn't see
Trapped in a storm that swallowed me

Pre-Chorus
No calls, no screens, just me alone
But I was drowning in things I couldn't control
Self-advocacy, never knew the name
I was lost in the weight of my own shame

Chorus
I was sinking beneath a sky with no sun
Every shadow stood still as I tried to outrun
Eyes were heavy with a silent plea
Screaming inside, but they couldn’t reach me

Verse 2
Promises of freedom whispered loud
But the darkness inside wrapped me in doubt
Thought I’d find control with my own two hands
But slipped through the cracks like falling sand

Bridge
I built walls to keep me safe, but they only kept me small
Every mirror showed a stranger, I couldn't face it all
Healing takes time, but I pushed it away
Thought I was ready, but I wasn't okay

Chorus (repeat)
I was sinking beneath a sky with no sun
Every shadow stood still as I tried to outrun
Eyes were heavy with a silent plea
Screaming inside, but they couldn’t reach me

Outro
Looking back, I see it clear
I was safer in the silence here

Trapped In The Shadows

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Pankaj Singh—visionary founder, executive coach, and author of Circle Up—to explore how leaders and everyday individuals alike can overcome loneliness, emotional burnout, and disconnection by building intentional support circles. Drawing from decades of mindful practice and his own leadership journey, Singh unpacks the seven transformative relationship roles within his Compass Circle framework.

Listeners will gain actionable tools for reflection, micro-journaling, and emotional repair—plus scripts to rekindle broken relationships, cultivate trust, and find clarity in times of uncertainty. This isn’t just about leadership—it’s about human connection in a digitally distracted world.

What Listeners Will Learn
-Why loneliness persists in a hyper-connected world
-How to identify and build your intentional Compass Circle
-The emotional cost of vague support vs. defined roles
-The science behind micro-practices and mindfulness in leadership
-Tools for repairing frayed relationships with empathy and intention

Podcast 1225: Circle Up: Building Intentional Relationships That Heal, Empower, and Transform

We offer a BOUTIQUE concierge approach to traditional & intensive TRAUMA INFORMED therapy & coaching services.

Michele was a successful songwriter and rock singer in Australia and after a near-fatal car accident, while in the hospital with many serious injuries, she created positive Affirmation Songs which not only healed her body but also took her to worldwide success. These Affirmation songs affect the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Lyrics, the left hemisphere, and melody and music, the right hemisphere so the new, positive messages go straight to the subconscious mind. This is why millions of people worldwide have downloaded her Affirmation Power songs. These songs cover healing, success, money, joy, confidence and they uplift the person immediately.

🎶 @heartechoes 🎶

Welcome to the musical world of @heartechoes, where every lyric tells a story and every melody captures heartfelt emotions. Though I am not a musician, the lyrics in these songs are entirely my own, reflecting my innermost thoughts and feelings, brought to life through the incredible power of AI.

I never thought I could hear my lyrics sung without a large investment that I could not afford. The songs released in June 2024 come from my journaling during the first half of the year after my separation from my wife of 15 years. During this dark period, my emotional and mental state took a downward spiral, and writing down my thoughts was my lifeline. I'm grateful for all that has come out of this challenging time.

My lyrics have transformed into musical creations thanks to AI, allowing me to share my inner world with you. From soulful ballads to uplifting anthems, my music explores love, loss, and everything in between, resonating deeply with personal experiences and the world around me.

Join me on this unique musical journey, and let the echoes of my heart become the soundtrack to your life. 🎸❤️🌟
