Reignite Your Childhood Dreams Through Your Core Values<\/h1>\n

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What were your childhood dreams?<\/p>\n

Maybe you dreamed of becoming an astronaut, a veterinarian, a musician, or even a superhero.<\/p>\n

For me? I had a few big dreams, but two that stuck with me the most were becoming a professional athlete\u2026 and scoring music for movies.<\/p>\n

\"Season<\/p>\n

As a kid, I was fascinated by the way music could shift your entire emotional experience. I\u2019d be watching a movie, and suddenly a single sound or song would give me chills. It made me feel something deeper. I thought, That\u2019s it. That\u2019s what I want to do\u2014create soundtracks that move people.<\/em><\/p>\n

But like most kids, I thought that dream was \u201ccool,\u201d not \u201cpractical.\u201d<\/h5>\n

So, I followed the path that seemed more doable at the time: sports. I played lacrosse in college, and for a while, I thought I might play professionally. But being a pro lacrosse player, at least back then, wasn\u2019t exactly sustainable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, I was always the one who put playlists together for house parties, road trips and even workshops. I always received positive feedback, with people asking who created the playlist and if they could obtain a copy.<\/p>\n

At one point, MaryBeth encouraged me to take a class on scoring music for cinema, but it felt like that was not a practically good use of my energy.<\/p>\n

And just like that, I let those dreams fade.<\/p>\n

I got older. Took on responsibilities. Built a career. And somewhere along the way, those old creative sparks turned to embers, just glowing faintly in the background.<\/p>\n

But then something unexpected happened.<\/p>\n

When MaryBeth got a download that she wanted to record 365, two-to-three-minute guided meditations, she wanted them to be different from anything she’d created before. She wanted them produced with background music that felt intentional, grounded, and enhanced the listeners’ experience. A major upgrade from all her previous tracks, which were just her voice.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI know you always wanted to score music for movies. What if you did that for my guided meditations?\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s when it hit me\u2026 I actually could do that!<\/em><\/h5>\n

It was like the little boy in me was finally taken to the playground and told to go for it! Have all the fun I wanted, nothing holding me back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I started experimenting\u2014creating soundscapes, layering music and subtle effects, matching the mood and energy of her words. I felt like a little kid again, totally immersed in the creative process where time just fades away. Not performative, not for perfection, but for joy.<\/p>\n

And I created a new baseline for \u201csuccess.\u201d The track was only complete when at least one tear fell from my eye after listening. An authentic movement of energy and emotion.<\/p>\n

I want these tracks to move people, so I had to be moved first, just like with a powerful soundtrack to a movie.<\/p>\n

Like this one here.<\/a><\/p>\n

And the best part? It activated my core values<\/a>.<\/p>\n
