I haven’t blogged on In Key Wellness for a couple of months which feels like an absolute entrepreneurial sin. I’ve been busy finishing my second album, In & Out. Which is now done !!

I kinda fell off the low-sugar band wagon for a couple months and ate way to much sugary chocolate and felt like crap until I concluded that it just wasn’t for me. I haven’t eaten junk food for a month.

Last month, to celebrate the Mars retrograde in Aries, I re-started practising martial arts. I did Jiu Jitsu and grappling in my late teens. It’s been *really* fun to do kick boxing and BJJ-style circuit training. 💪

As a result of regular work outs, I feel called to start eating well. These last couple of months, I’ve realized that I eat emotionally. This is something I’ve felt embarrassed to admit but, “hey”, it’s not like I’m the only one. Lol.

I’ve been busy creating my music brand. I build my website myself and now Im so close to starting an online email list building campaign. Im fairly terrified 😰 because I don’t know if my targeting is correct but if I never start, I’ll never improve. Ah, sweet fear of failure. 

It’s a bit wacky starting two brands at once- my music and my wellness brand. If I had to pick just one, I would focus on my music because that is my 💖 heart and soul… but wellness is important to me and lifestyle keeps me functional as an artist.

I was not particularly musically productive in my twenties because I was kinda sorta biochemically messed up by food. I experienced dysthymia and under-performed. I messed up my opera singing by smoking (epic quanities of ) weed because I really wanted to be a rock star 🙂 and I hit personal rock bottom when I quit singing.

In the absence of music, I got more interested in wellness. I had a daughter, who had a really difficult infancy and forced me to clean up my eating and supplement. When my daughter was two, I realized that it was time for us to liaise with the outside world and that my core identity was as a singer and musician. It became clear to me that music is my legacy to my child. So, I got back to singing and wrote two albums to showcase my capacities as a singer and music writer. 🎶

I personal know how important eating and lifestyle are to my creativity and performance. Especially in today’s world, where solopreneurs and independent musicians have the capacity to thrive. 

I personally feel that when I live a great lifestyle, I’m super woman and when I eat crap Im unhappy and feel totally blah …and frustrated because I know how good I can feel and how productive I can be. 

My primary focus until the end of 2020 remains my music brand. I have merch to create and still so much to do but I will document my lifestyle on the In Key Wellness blog and social media. Im still figuring out what the offerings for IKW are. I know that I want to focus on selling products which I love and I also have a lot of information to share. It takes time to create excellent content. 

I got into the wellness business with the intention of selling products. Products which I promote: In Key Wellness Magnesium Body Spray, Pruvit Ketones. I have the Soulera Adaptogen Tonic and I love the ARK Crystal. I think that these are the core products for In Key Wellness.

I have an information library about magnesium which I need to get online. I also have ideas for what seems to be a short book about self-wellness. 

So yeah, that’s me. I gotta keep on going in a sustainable way. 😀
