In today’s episode, Karly talks about her resistance to practicing, consistency and following the rules. The theme of being unable to be consistent with practice has shown up frequently for Karly, and this has caused Karly’s inner rebel to say a big F-U to following the rules. Karly has often found herself wanting to be excellent at all things while not having the discipline to do the work necessary to gain a standard of excellence.
Listen in as Karly talks about how bringing musical practice into her life, has helped to change her view on following the rules. With the boundaries that music provides, Karly has found herself softening into the rules help to create space for creativity. This then allows her to step out of the rebel (control freak) persona and move more deeply into the role of creator and artist.
