Harry Kappen - The Freedom Inside Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

Harry Kappen (HK) is an independant Dutch musician and music therapist. He is an experienced musician, a multi-instrumentalist, who played in many bands in the Netherlands and as a producer he worked with a lot of Dutch popbands. Since he was young he composed hundreds of songs, for his own bands or just for fun and sometimes for events or for Dutch television.
HK is an admirer of David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Prince, Radiohead, Scandinavian pop music by Bjork, Motorpsycho and a lot more. Sometimes their music reflects in Harry's eclectic music.
HK plays, writes and produces his music by himself in his home studio.
Last year Harry released his album 'Escape' and a seperate single 'Wargames'. Both were received very well and got rave and enthusiastic reviews all over the world. HK is known for his contemplative, sometimes politically critical lyrics. 'Wargames' was received as a modern protestsong against the Ukrain war.
As a music therapist HK helps youngsters and adolescents to cope with a variety of problems in a institution for youth care; problems caused bij development disorders or/ and behaviour disorders. The fact that he is a multi-instrumentalist comes very handy in his work as music therapist; it's important to be able to connect musically with a client quite quickly on every instrument. Also he helps families who are struggeling with disfunctional paterns. Music therapy is a great way to make these paterns audible and curable.
Besides his work as music therapist he works as a lecturer on an international master's degree in music therapy in Rotterdam in the Netherlands (Codarts).
'The Freedom Inside'
Now he is releasing a new single as a preview of his new album which will be released later this year, around the summer. 'The Freedom Inside' is also critical, but has a more positive vibe. 'Don't try to change the world, but change yourself first' is the message. We all know we live in troubling times with war, climate change, indifference etc. There's a lot of complaining everywhere (social media!) and declining trust in governments. Harry says; if you want to change the world, stop nagging and whining at others and start to change yourself first and search for the freedom inside you to do so !

Lynn Abaté-Johnson - Out of Love: A Daughter's Journey With Her Mom To The End Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

Lynn Abaté-Johnson’s Bio
After being a primary caregiver for her mother for over six years, author Lynn Abate-Johnson understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one. However, she discovered how to blossom through (and after) caregiving rather than let it drown her. By using her natural organizational skills and her solid work ethic, she developed systems and processes to help navigate the difficult journey of caregiving, which allowed her to go from “What am I going to do without my mom?” to “I know I can thrive after she’s gone–just as she would want.” Like most caregivers, Lynn juggled caregiving duties with a full-time career. In her daily life, she’s a business consultant and global community builder. She’s been building businesses from the ground up since she was nine years old.
One of her recent accomplishments was growing the global online community for one of the world’s most respected leadership development and professional coach training organizations by 150% in her first four years as a professional community builder. Lynn educates cohorts of caregivers and executives inside conscious brands to help them discover that there are tools they can use to support people in bringing their whole selves to work. Her book, Out of Love: A Daughter's Journey With Her Mom To The End, provides care for family caregivers by giving them the emotional and logistical support they need, even when they are working in paying careers. About the Book: Lynn’s words offer a uniquely personal glimpse into her journey as a daughter of a strong mother, along with her own transformation in the aftermath of being a caregiver.
Lynn’s approach removes the stigma of grief, Her expressive and often vulnerable ways of sharing help to normalize what many families may take for granted or miss in their often overwhelming and new experience as caregivers. There will be discomfort, shame, guilt, and layers of conditioning to discover in this book, with the goal of bringing light to the dark and peace to the soul. These words are also interactive, meaning you will find practical, logistical tools and resources on the accompanying website: LynnAbateJohnsonBook.com.
