Turning Words with Hozan Alan Senauke

Sometimes the biggest risk is staying exactly where you are. This high-energy pop punk anthem celebrates the courage it takes to completely uproot your life in your thirties and chase something better – even when that 'something' is the exact opposite of what you thought you wanted.

Written about trading city lights for mountain peaks, this song captures that pivotal moment when you realize your joy has 'turned to fright' and it's time to make a move before you 'turn grey.' It's about a married couple brave enough to surrender their busy urban life for the pure simplicity of mountain living – and discovering it worked out better than they ever day-dreamed.

From anxiety-inducing city grind to gracious neighbors and endless adventure, this track celebrates the beautiful irony of finding freedom by slowing down. It's a love letter to anyone who's ever felt stuck in the 'right' life that doesn't feel right anymore.

A driving pop punk banger that proves it's never too late to step into the unknown and live life your way. For every thirty-something ready to trade the familiar for the fulfilling – this one's your anthem to take the leap.

Step Into the Unknown

In a single moment your life can change!  “Moments with Marianne” is a transformative hour that covers an endless array of topics with the ‘best of the best.’ Her guest are leaders in their fields, ranging from inspirational authors, top industry leaders, business and spiritual entrepreneurs.  Each guest is gifted, and a true visionary!  A recognized leader in her own work, and while teaching others to develop, refocus, and grow; Marianne will bring the best guest, and sometimes a special surprise.  Don’t miss this – you never know just which ‘moment’ will change your life forever.

It all started with a dog named Eddie — a scruffy little guy kids swore looked like a real-life teddy bear. When he passed in 2020, I brought his spirit back as a 3D bear: playful, honest, and the other half of me.

In A Teddy Named Eddie, we tell true stories from my life through pop punk riffs, alt rock hooks, and early 2000s nostalgia. Sometimes I’m in his world; sometimes he’s in mine. Always cinematic, always full of heart, and always a little magical.
