Get your free mini-course 'Boost Your Mood with Music'
Great! You've found your way to this e-mail form.
I've created a free online mini course called 'Boost Your Mood with Music' in Dutch which will soon be translated to English. I can't wait to share it with you. In this course you'll learn:
- how to influence your mood with music so you won't stay stuck in certain emotions too long
- how to attract more love in your life with music
- how you can make better use of the music you already listen to.
Why am I doing this? Read my story below and subscribe:
Without music I would be depressed. Music saved me and made me realize it's okay to not always be strong.
My name is Angelique Houtveen and I'm a Radio DJ from Amsterdam. On air every workday between 10 am - 1pm at urban/pop station FunX, before that I've worked at Soul/Jazz station NPO Radio 6.
In 2010 I had a couple of epileptic seizures. Never before in my life I had them but all of the sudden they knocked me out, I had to be hospitalized and they found out I had a cavernoma in my head which lead to those seizures.
I just got my bachelors degree at the time and started a job. For a couple of months I had to stay home cause my body was feeling weak. I was forbidden to drive and couldn't really find the strength to do much.
During that time I felt how powerful music was. While my family and friends were stressed out because of what happend to me, I had to stay strong. I had to be the one to tell them everything was gonna be alright.
Being strong is a good thing but I felt like weakness was not an option. Until I heard Kanye West's Through the Wire and cried so hard. I realized that I'm allowed to feel vulnerable, to cry and to not know it all.
Something in that song made me wake-up and feel again. Feel that every emotion in me is okay.
Thats why music is so important to me. It was my way to feel more.
Whenever I feel like I'm in 'be strong' modus too long, I put on a emotional song and really feel (Mary J Blige - Fade Away is one of them).
It's my dream to share my story and help people find the power of music and what it can do for their emotional lives. And while doing that, share the dopest music.
Hope to talk to you soon!
