I like making people feel better.
Urgency collapses change.
When your body feels constantly rushed, overwhelmed, or braced for what’s next, growth becomes almost impossible, no matter how strong your intentions are.
You don’t transform by forcing change.
You transform by expanding your capacity to feel safe.

New Year, New Nervous System.
Real growth happens when your nervous system feels safe.
This year, don’t ask what you need to accomplish. Ask what your nervous system needs to grow.

It's January 8th and I've already googled "how to be more productive" twice.
We're all doing that thing where we try to force this year to fix us.
But what if it's just a year?
What if it doesn't have to prove anything?

Sometimes I stop and play.
Not to record. Not to perform.
Just because it feels good to hear something gentle.

Behind the scenes in Amsterdam before my Concertgebouw show.
A hallway full of musicians acting like this is totally normal. Spoiler: it is. Just not in the way you’d think.
Fluorescent lights, practice rooms, and a lot of work and people who care deeply about the same thing.

Two plaques were given to me this week:
Gold record.
1 billion streams.
What stands out most are the no’s along the way that felt like rejection but turned out to be preparation.
If you’re hearing “no” right now, keep walking.
The story isn’t finished yet.

2025… what a year ❤️
6 million of you pressing play, to breathe deeply together.
I don’t take a moment of that for granted.
Here’s to more calm, more beauty, and more moments we get to share in 2026.

The other week, I was in Dublin and my goodness, thank you for an afternoon of stillness and sound at the Pavilion Theatre.
From quiet before the music to the moment we began, it was incredible.
