Song & Rants #21 | Mooning & seeing people w/ cover “Glorybound”

by Leave a Comment

Did your dad ever moon your friends?
Mine did.
He also did some unbelievably, beautifully powerful, life-changing things that will forever impact hundreds of us.
What is the most important thing that your dad taught you?
I share some of my stories in here along with one of my dad’s favourite Martin Sexton covers “Glorybound”.

If you’re looking to get some help or coaching around the topic of your dad or death or both, please reach out. I know I don’t know your situation or what you’re going through but I believe that if you face your stuff you will be able to walk through it. Book a free 20 minute Chemistry Call HERE.

Song & Rants #16 | Your fake life on paper with cover “Where you’re at”

by Leave a Comment

Here we get into the phrase “ON PAPER”… you know when everything looks perfect from the outside but when you peek behind the curtain of your heart and you get honest, things are different… maybe they’re a LOT different. How many people know your REAL life vs. your life ON PAPER.

If you need some support looking at your REAL life and want to make some changes, reach out for some life coaching HERE.

The song is a cover of “Where You’re At” by Allen Stone

TIDE | music video from Songwriting Adventure

by Leave a Comment

Months in the making, and now “TIDE” is born… the latest single & music video co-written with a coaching client as a little “Songwriting Adventure”.

My hope is that this would encourage all of you who are struggling to risk again in relationship… to be vulnerable.

To let your heart show.

To not live in protection mode.

To trust again… or to trust yourself and your intuition. Because there will always be “what-ifs”. And at the end of the day, I think everyone wants to see your true self although it’s incredibly hard to share that sometimes.

May you find safety and a soft place to land…. whether with yourself or with someone you love.

Song & Rants #14 | Fear juice & Sting cover “Fields of Gold” ft. Ari Neufeld

by Leave a Comment

Do you have the juice to deal with your fear? In the winter of 2021 I was interviewed by Nathan Peacock and we get into “the juice”… no, not roids. The juice is the fuel / motivation / vision to continue down the path… whatever that is. Could be a job / relationship / goal.

If you have lost your juice and need some help overcoming fear or starting to dream again, reach out to Nico for a coaching session here.

The song “Fields of Gold” performed by my childhood friend Ari Neufeld & I (Nico Boesten) on my back deck. This song is really meaningful as Ari performed this live at my wedding to my late wife in Holland in 1997.

Song & Rants #13 | Broken bones, hearts & pottery w/ breakup song “Storm”

by Leave a Comment

From the top of Knox Mountain in Kelowna we (and by “we” I mean “I”) talk about the beautifully sucky gifts of being broken along with a new original breakup song “Storm”.

I reference the Japanese art known as Kintsukuroi: the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise, acknowledging that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.

If you need / want some support working through some hard & broken times, reach out to Nico for a coaching session here.

Song & Rants #8 | Gifts of Grief w/ Joshua Smith & tune “Waiting on the Day”

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever lost something or someone and wondered if you’d ever be able to work through it? How does this work? What is the gift of grief?

These are some of the questions I (Nico Boesten) ask Joshua Smith, a local (Kelowna, BC) singer songwriter and friend who just released an album written about his dad who passed last year. We play a live version of “Waiting on the Day” at the end.
