In this post, I want to share my journey of reconnecting with music and how it has helped me cope with the challenges I face due to a brain aneurysm. Music has always been a part of my life, and now more than ever, it serves as my source of strength and comfort.Rediscovering My Passion for MusicAfter a long break from playing, I picked up my guitar again, a Fender Acoustic that my brother helped fix. The strings were too high, making it difficult for me to play, but with a little adjustment, I found myself strumming again. This simple act of playing has become a form of therapy for me.

Doctors advised against treatment due to the risks involved. Instead, they suggested monitoring it closely. This news weighed heavily on me, leading to feelings of isolation and depression. The Emotional Toll**Understanding the Diagnosis:** When you look fine on the outside, it’s hard for others to understand the emotional and psychological battles you face. **Finding Support:** It can be challenging to seek help when you feel alone. However, knowing that I have my faith and music keeps me grounded. Music as a Source of StrengthPlaying the guitar and singing worship songs has become my daily practice. I focus on easy songs that lift my spirits. Recently, I learned to play "Because He Lives," an old hymn that resonates deeply with me. The Healing Power of Worship**Spiritual Connection:** Each song I play is a prayer, a way to connect with God and seek comfort. **Resilience Through Music:** Music empowers me to face my fears and uncertainties. It reminds me of my faith and the miracles that can happen.Key Takeaways**Embrace Your Passion:** Rediscovering my love for music has been healing. It’s essential to engage in activities that bring joy and purpose. **Seek Spiritual Support:** Lean on your faith during tough times. It can be a source of strength that helps you navigate challenges. **Practice Makes Progress:** Regular practice, whether it’s music or another passion, is key to personal growth and resilience.In conclusion, my journey has shown me that music is not just a hobby; it’s a lifeline. It has helped me confront my fears and find solace in my faith. I encourage you to explore your passions and find ways to heal through what you love.A hui hou! Until next time, keep practicing and worshiping.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow can music help with emotional healing? Music allows for emotional expression, providing a means to process feelings and connect with oneself spiritually.What should I do if I’m feeling isolated due to health issues? Reach out to friends, family, or community groups. Engaging in activities you love can also help alleviate feelings of isolation.How can I start playing music again after a long break? Begin with simple songs that you enjoy. Set aside time each day to practice, even if it’s just for a few minutes.What’s your way of coping with tough times?

    "Reinvention Is The New Resilience: Leading Boldly After The Storm With CJ Janzen"

    Embracing Reinvention: A Journey Through Adversity and *Grace*Discover how to navigate life’s unexpected challenges with resilience. In this powerful conversation, international keynote speaker and reinvention resilience coach CJ Janzen shares her inspiring journey of overcoming adversity and choosing joy in the midst of it.Life can change in an instant. What happens when everything you knew shifts overnight?CJ knows that moment well.Featured on CTV News and CBC News and recognized as the Certified 1st Runner Up in Season 4 of Next Top Speaker, CJ’s story is a testament to courage, community, and conscious reinvention.In 2012, what she calls the “most wicked birthday gift ever” arrived — a sudden, life-altering illness that left her nearly bedbound and living with aphasia. The physical challenges were overwhelming. The emotional upheaval was just as profound.“How does anyone prepare for something like that? You just can’t,” CJ shares.While we can’t always prepare for disruption, we can choose how we respond.One of the most powerful lessons CJ learned was the importance of community. “Finding those that can hold you up when you're too weak to stand on your own is vital.” Whether friends, family, or trusted support systems, the right voices matter. She encourages focusing on one or two strong anchors rather than becoming overwhelmed by too many opinions.After adversity, the deeper work begins in rediscovering identity.“I had to figure out who I am now.”Reinvention required reflection, rebuilding, and redefining purpose. From that journey, CJ developed her GRACE framework to help others navigate their own storms:G – GratitudeR – ResilienceA – AcceptanceC – CommunityE – EmpowermentThrough GRACE, CJ empowers others to reclaim purpose, passion, and confidence — even after life-altering events.Perhaps the most powerful shift of all? Joy.Joy, CJ reminds us, is not just a feeling. It’s a daily decision.“I’ve got joy down in my soul,” she sings — not because life is easy, but because she chooses it.This episode explores how mindset, faith, support, and intentional action can help us rise stronger after the storm.Key Takeaways:• Support is essential — you are not meant to do this alone.• Reinvention requires rediscovering who you are now.• Joy is a choice — and choosing it builds resilience.Life’s unexpected challenges may shake us — but they do not have to define us.CJ Janzen’s story reminds us that adversity can become the birthplace of strength, clarity, and renewed purpose.How will you choose to respond to your storm?Please share in the comments or with CJ on her social media; let her know what it meant to you to hear her story here on the Walking in ALOHA; Let's Talk Story podcast.Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CJ.JanzenInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/cj_janzen/LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cjjanzen/

    Not everyone who says “Jesus” is sent by Jesus

    Today I need to share something that happened during what was supposed to be a 1:1 coaching call.Someone requested time on my calendar. As a coach, I don’t just sit and talk. I LISTEN. I observe. I ask questions. I pay attention so I can serve well.I speak with people from all over the world, so that part didn’t concern me.But what started as a coaching request quickly shifted into asking for money for a “ministry.”There was a lot of spiritual language.A lot of “Jesus.”A lot of urgency.The more questions I asked, the more inconsistencies appeared.The deeper I listened, the clearer it became.When I offered to pray instead of sending money… the Zoom call disconnected.And that told me everything.Scripture warns us clearly.“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”— Matthew 7:15“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”— 2 Corinthians 11:14Not everyone who says “Jesus” is sent by Jesus.Discernment is not judgment.Discernment is protection.We must guard our hearts.We must guard our finances.And we must guard the name of Jesus from being used for financial manipulation.I’m sharing this not from anger, but from responsibility.Test the spirits. (1 John 4:1)And remember this:If someone is comfortable asking for your money, but uncomfortable receiving your prayer… pay attention.Technical issues can disrupt communication but can be overcome.Coaching calls can reveal deeper issues of honesty and intent.Faith discussions can be sensitive, especially regarding financial needs.It's important to confront dishonesty when it arises in conversations.Prayer can be a powerful response to those in need.Genuine listening is crucial in any conversation.Using faith for financial gain can be misleading and harmful.People may have different interpretations of faith and honesty.Building connections globally can lead to unexpected conversations.It's essential to maintain integrity in ministry and coaching.
