Music 4 Life® Blog

The Music 4 Life® Radio show on October 13, 2015 transforms your B.S. – Belief Systems™.  We explore together October’s theme of Courage to Allow during national Breast Cancer Awareness month, and today’s focus on Music to Support loved ones who are challenged with a life-threatening illness.

Our special guest is Andrew Mahalik, a University of Nevada Las Vegas undergraduate student in Communication Studies. Andrew and I will explore together what music works to support the courage required to walk with a loved one through life and then transition to a different residence in heaven.  This Radio show is dedicated to Andrew’s mother Betty Mahalik, who died one year ago on October 10. Betty was a Music4Lifer who sought new experiences attending a Sacred Rhythms Drum Circle, and then processing through a customized Music Medicine CD, to further connect with her journey through breast cancer.
