Song & Rants #18 | 5 Regrets of the Dying w/ original song “Align”

by Leave a Comment

Are you dying your best death?
 
I suppose that part of my purpose in life is also part of my profession as a “life coach”… I love helping people figure out how they want to die… and live. In this little episode I walk through the “Top 5 Regrets of the Dying” based on the experiences of Bronnie Ware (an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care). I also share one of my latest tunes I wrote called “Align” which is based on my theme word for 2022.
 

PS – if you’re interested in getting some support on dying your best death or perhaps coming up with a theme word for this coming year, reach out to me.

Song & Rants #17 | Finding hope & a song for Ingrid “Seven”

by Leave a Comment

When you think about those wild little moments in your life that inspired you to make those big decisions, what was happening in your heart? And what led you to those moments? And when do you think the next one will happen?

I sing a song I wrote for my Ingrid (my late wife) for our 7 year anniversary called “Seven”. It was a major moment in our relationship that shifted us into having more hope with and for each other.

If you’re looking to make some changes in your life or wondering what it might take, reach out to me to see if having some life coaching together might be a good fit.

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.
