“better” // the back story

i started writing this song back in 2013. i was sitting the car on a random street, not yet ready to head home. still clinging to my pencil and paper days, the first verse and chorus spilled out words i didn’t know i felt.  

strangely, these first parts were written when said person was still prevalent in my life. since i couldn’t seem to finish the next verse, i ended up forgetting about it and left it tucked away in the scrappy sheets i found in my bag. i found it again many months later and saw how foretelling it was. eerie. 

space really tells you a lot. you really don’t know how much you can’t hear your own voice until the voices of others begin to disappear. and that’s when you see how happy you are now, in seeing how unhappy you were then. 

the song didn’t have a bridge until i rediscovered this song yet again a few months ago. the final lines “was this ever enough..” made question my old (and current) self and how i really felt. and helped me to finally feel finished with this piece. it only took me 5 years to get there *sheepish grin*. this song now has definitely turned from one i felt almost nonchalant about to one that is important to me. *nods head*

love, maia.

Back Story, Episode 17 – Special Edition – A World on the Brink: Hope in the Face of Chaos with Steve Rother

The world is currently grappling with a multitude of challenges, from geopolitical tensions to the erosion of trust in democratic institutions. Ongoing conflicts and unrest in various regions continue to displace millions and destabilize entire nations. Simultaneously, the upcoming elections in many countries have ignited heated debates and concerns about the potential for misinformation and disinformation to sway public opinion. 

A pervasive spread of negativity and false narratives on social media platforms further exacerbates these issues, creating a toxic environment that hinders constructive dialogue and undermines societal cohesion. 

In this special BackStory episode, Steve provides a clear, unfiltered account of the global power shift currently unfolding across all countries. He openly discusses the nearly 40-year-old plans initiated by white Christian nationalists in the U.S. and their collaboration with dictators and authoritarian leaders worldwide to establish a new world order. 

Despite such news, there are glimmers of hope that point towards a more positive future. According to Steve, while the road ahead may be fraught with obstacles, the resilience and determination of humanity offer a beacon of hope in these turbulent times.

From Corporate Grind to Blessing Babies – How Stepping into the Unknown Delivered LeVaughn McPherson into Her True Calling 

After 25 years of living the corporate 9 to 5, LeVaughn McPherson left to seek a more heart-centered life and occupation. Within several years, she found herself training to be a spiritual counselor and interfaith minister, which she found fulfilling and in alignment with her desire to live a more meaningful life. She knew that making such a huge shift had been the right choice.

But LeVaughn’s story took a new turn when she attended the birth of a friend, observed and attended in the process, and performed a blessing on the baby, all of which she found soul-touching, profound and beautiful. That was when she knew she had found her true calling… as a Birth Doula.  

In this episode of our podcast, Steve interviews LeVaughn McPherson, a certified Birth Doula, childbirth educator, and lactation consultant. LeVaughn shares her inspiring journey of supporting parents through one of life’s most significant transitions. In addition to her work in maternal and infant health, she is also a trained Spiritual Counselor and Interfaith Reverend. We’re proud to have LeVaughn as part of the Espavo team.

You're in for a great treat as Steve talks with author, editor, and resonance marketing entrepreneur Sandie Sedgbeer (who edited Steve's first book, Remember) about the turnover in the publishing industry that has led to the massively improved opinion of self-publishing and the many opportunities that now exist for authors.
