My 35th Year

In this moment, are you letting yourself be lead by fear, or by love?I was supposed to release an album this month, on my birthday, November 14th. I wasn't ready, but after a year of family health scares I let the burden of comparison and the fear of time slipping away push me to try.It all fell apart of course, being lead by fear never turns out well. When I realised I had to cancel the album launch, I was forced to reflect on how I had got to this point. Why did I feel so desperate to put out this body of work? Why did I insist on pushing myself to complete an impossible task?Birthdays can do funny things to the mind. I keep telling myself that ageing is a privildge, but I'm not sure I can hear it.Support the show✨Thank you for listening 🙏🏻If you enjoy the podcast and want to support my work, you can:💜 Connect with me on Insta and let me know what you think of the show💜 Become a subscriber💜 Listen to my music Get full access to Ashley Valensteïn at ashleyvalenstein.substack.com/subscribe
