Living on the B Side Birgit Livesey

Today, I explore the timeless message of TLC's "Unpretty." Reflecting on my own struggles with self-image, I delve into the societal pressures women face and the quest for self-acceptance in today's image-driven culture.

Through introspection, I navigate the complexities of self-doubt and the impact of social media on self-worth.

I also share my own journey towards self-compassion and encourage listeners to embrace their inherent beauty. With a message of hope and solidarity, she highlights the transformative power of music in fostering healing and empowerment.

Having released her latest album ‘Twilight Mist’, we talk about how this album came together, what her intentions with it are and what she hopes her listeners will take away from it.

We also dive into the ‘legacy of music’ that has impacted her greatly, thanks to her mother’s love of music and the impact this had not only herself, but everyone her mother’s was in touch with.

Whilst this episode starts of talking about grief, it becomes a beautiful tribute to the amazing power music can have on families and beyond – with both sides of our emotions touches; grief and joy!

‘Über sieben Brücken mußt du geh'n’ by Peter Maffay is the perfect theme song for this episode, because it captures the overall message of life’s cycles, its ups and downs perfectly.

Like the ocean, there is a constant ebb and flow, beginnings and endings, joys and sorrows in life. During this episode I share with you why this song is so perfect for anyone in any stages of life, but especially during those times when it all feels a little extra tough.



Plus, I wanted to highlight a beautiful German song that has a lot of meaning for many of us German speakers since its release in 1978 (Karat’s version) and again 1980 (Peter Maffay’s version).



If you are in need of a song that understands the challenges of life and want to spend a little time with me exploring it, please hit ‘play’ and join me during this episode where I share my thoughts and feelings about this song.

Living on the B Side is a music podcast that showcases the power of music through people sharing their experiences with music and its impact in their lives. Your host B(irgit) also shares information and tips around how to integrate music as a tool for self-reflection.

I have picked the song ‘Evacuate the dancefloor’ as the theme song for this episode because it appeared to me at a time when I needed a spark, something to remind me of the reasons why I created Living on the B Side.



Listening to the lyrics and hearing ‘Evacuate the dancefloor’ has given me enthusiasm, passion and determination to continue to spread the word about the power of music, how it can be part of the medicine we need to keep well and healthy. Plus, I share what type of ripple effect I want to create through it all.

Whilst all is not roses and sunshine, having this medicine in my life allows me to find balance and strength to carry one. But press ‘play’ to hear me explain more about choosing this song and what’s been happening in my life and where I need your support.

Join me in this episode where I share all the above and a little more on the how and why this song has helped me re-centre myself.

As we approach the close of another year, join me in this special solo episode of [as we take a deep dive into the highs, lows, and memorable moments that defined 2023 for me. In this review, I'll not only unwrap the highlights from the podcast, featuring both solo musings and engaging conversations with incredible guests, but I'll also peel back the layers of my personal journey throughout the year.



I am reflecting on both the solo and guest episode, both which have provided so much food for though and insights that have left an imprint on my heart and mind – I hope for you, too.



But it's not just about the podcast. In this review episode, I'll open up about the twists and turns of my own year— the challenges and the unexpected discoveries that shaped my path. As we navigate the terrain of personal growth, resilience, and self-discovery, you'll get a glimpse into the authentic moments that unfolded off the mic (and some have made it into solo episodes).



Looking ahead, I'll share a sneak peek into what's on the horizon for Living on the B Side, after a quick break in January to move house, recharge and add in some planning as well.



So, grab your favorite beverage, settle into a cozy spot, and let's embark on this reflective journey together. As we bid farewell to 2023, let's not only celebrate the episodes that filled our ears but also the moments that filled our hearts. Join me for a personal and podcast review that sets the stage for an exciting 2024 ahead!
