When you meet Lindzey Autumn through her songs in this episode, you'll know why I've come to love her music.Melody and verse have always been instinctive forms of self-expression for Lindzey Autumn. Lindzey started her lifelong habit of keeping a daily journal when she was only six. Lindzey’s vocal and guitar technique are self-taught. Music has been Lindzey’s comfort and companion her entire life. Now her music can be your friend as well. Whether you feel joyful and empowered or somber and introspective, nothing reaches the recesses of the human soul like music. You don’t have to be alone in your feelings.She released her first home-produced title “Headlights” in 2018 with the help of her friend Terry Zorich. Now, with the help of Nightowl Studios, she is thrilled to introduce her first official release, “Bad Influence.” "There’s a fairly cast-iron archetype for female voices in Country, Lindzey Autumn tore it apart with her empoweringly fierce debut single “Bad Influence”. The contemporary styling of the roots-deep sound and the amount of convictive within it will undoubtedly see Lindzey Autumn rising up from the underground in no time at all. Get her on your radar. You won’t want to miss her debut EP which is currently in the pipeline." from A&R Factory [one of the Top 10 Music Blogs in UK]Learn and listen more at lindzeyautumn.comMusic tracks are copyrighted, provided by the artist, and used with permission.

In this episode, I'll be sharing a powerful, yet fun tool to open up, dive in, and free up your ideas. It's the Journal and Play!book by SARK.I first met SARK at Transitions Bookstore in Chicago. SARK is well-known for her Living Juicy books.She introduced us to this journal as a way of continuing a journey to our creative spirits, to put our creative spirit in action. She wanted to make a journal more of a companion She even calls it an inspiration sandwich, stories to inspire our creative freedom. For me, I found this journal and playbook to be full of suggestions and inspirations, affirmations, and ways to play on paper. If you've never journaled before I highly recommend it.If you have journaled in a blank diary before, but felt it wasn't really productive or fueling your creativity, then try this book: SARK’s Journal and Play!book, a place to dream while awake.Learn about the book at www.amazon.com/Sarks-Journal-Play-BookConnect with SARK at planetsark.comThanks to you for being among the first listeners of our new podcast.Connect with me on LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/stinsonmarkFollow me on Facebook facebook.com/markstinsonauthorAnd visit my website at mark-stinson.com(I host my podcast with Captivate, the world's only growth-oriented podcast host™ - you can too, and get your first 7-days on me! www.captivate.fm/signup )
