Learning Spanish and bass guitar at 38 😬 Why? Because I’ve spent the last ten years telling myself it’s too late. But if I started ten years ago, I’d probably be playing the bass professionally in somebody’s Spanish band by now! In all seriousness: One piece of advice I’m often repeating to clients is that it’s literally never too late to begin setting up their FUTURE SELVES with the skills, knowledge, and relationships that they’ll need. But I’ve felt that way about Spanish and the bass guitar for so long, convinced that my fully formed adult brain couldn’t possibly learn such intricate skills. But I’m gonna try. WHY THIS FEELS VULNERABLE For the past several years, I have used social media as an educator. I am always teaching, sharing knowledge to equip and empower others. But I have never shown up as a student, showcasing the process of learning in real time. But as a high-achieving woman, I am working to get comfortable being a beginner again (shout out to my friend @livforrest_ for mentioning this in one of our life chats! ),so I thought I would start with two things that I’ve been on my heart the most! And shout-out to my new bass teacher, @musiclessonswithross !
