Don't go crazy this winter...or die of boredom. 😨 Find things that enrich you, that you appreciate and can share with others.

Winter can feel quiet, long, and disorienting, especially when life has recently changed. In this quick check-in episode, I’m sharing how I’m navigating a slower season, what winter hobbies are helping me stay grounded and creative, and why this period of less has been unexpectedly meaningful.

A few things I promised in the episode:

* Learn about the AI Vibe Music Mastery - the course I took to give me my intro to AI music. Ken shows you the AI tools, how to create prompts, explores popular YouTube channels and more.

* Hear a couple of my favourite playlist of tracks I've created to see the kind of music for moods I'm putting together.

-- Focus Playlist: Great for putting in the background while you work.
-- Lift Your Mood Playlist: Excellent for putting on the background while you do chores, attend to daily tasks and more...to brighten your spirits and energize you.

Let me know what you think. 🎶

Thanks for listening. Be sure to share your hobbies and things you're working on. Would love to see!

We’ve all been told that consistency is the key to success—whether it’s posting every day on social media, going to the gym a certain number of times a week, or sticking to the same routines no matter what. But what happens when “showing up” becomes a trap? When you’re just going through the motions without asking if it’s even moving you closer to what you want?

In this episode of Lifestyle Self-Made, Alice Seba challenges the myth of consistency and introduces a more powerful (and freeing) approach: diligence. Instead of blindly repeating tasks, diligence asks us to be intentional, present, and aware of why we’re doing what we’re doing.

From business to health, parenting to personal growth, Alice explores the difference between doing things just to tick the box and doing them with purpose. You’ll see why diligence helps you actually grow, avoid burnout, and create a life that truly works for you—not just one that looks consistent from the outside.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the pressure to “keep up” or guilty for breaking your streaks, this conversation will give you permission to rethink the rules and build habits that actually matter.

So many of us know the feeling of carrying too much—responsibility for family, work, health, and all the unspoken expectations that pile on top. It can feel like there’s no way out, like the weight will always be there.

In this episode of Dear Alice, Alice Seba speaks directly to that heavy place. She doesn’t just acknowledge the overwhelm—she offers a way of seeing it differently. A way that makes space for relief, perspective, and even joy in the middle of everything you’re holding.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re expected to do it all, this conversation will help you loosen that grip and discover a gentler, more freeing way forward.
