One Year Later
The start of a new year is always a interesting time. Sometimes we enter the newness full of clarity, ready with our intentions, certain we are going to crush it the next twelve months. That's what the beginning of 2022 was like for me…
The start of a new year is always a interesting time. Sometimes we enter the newness full of clarity, ready with our intentions, certain we are going to crush it the next twelve months.
That's what the beginning of 2022 was like for me. Crystal clear and ready to crush. While there were a handful of things that were pretty stellar about last year, wooh let me tell you, there were all sorts of big, life things that did not go as I'd intended. I had to surrender over and over to letting go, pausing timelines on important projects — ahem, the album — and opening myself to things looking much differently than I'd imagined. It was a year of high highs, and low lows, and a lot of personal deaths.
Crossing the threshold into 2023, I am feeling clearer than I have in several months, and again anchoring some deeply meaningful intentions about things I desire and see coming this year. In this moment as I type this, I have never felt more like me, more confident or certain of who I am.. more connected to my Intuition and my purpose.. more healthy, vital, or FREE.
In November, I celebrated my 40th birthday in Mexico. (One of my closest pals made me a flower crown to wear and took a bunch of pictures of me, and made this cool piece of art with them.🌸) In general, my thirties were a decade of tremendously deep healing and growth, and I feel now as though I have graduated to a new level of my being.
The overwhelming essence I have felt about this significant marker of time is.. “I am just getting started.”
The release of Allow Being’s first full-length album will happen this year. All original songs, written and produced by me. It’s a dream that is lifetimes in the making, and it feels magical. Many would say I’m “too old” to be doing it.
Truth is, I don’t care what many would say… and I also don’t buy into the idea of limiting myself, or any possibilities for my life, based on age. Do what you want, when you want, how you want and where you want. Keep learning, growing, changing… It doesn’t matter if anyone gets it, it doesn’t even matter if anyone cares. You care. And that matters. And you get to choose what’s right for you and what kind of life you lead.
It’s never too late and you’re never too old to change course, learn new things, reinvent yourself, or make a dream come true. And you’re certainly never too old to wear a flower crown and throw yourself a birthday party either.
Here’s to 2023. And all that is in store for us. May it be a year of presences, healing, creative birth, and JOY.

The release of the first official single this year also meant that Allow Being became an official Spotify Artist this year!
As one of the top online platforms through which music is streamed, Spotify is a space where an artist’s songs can be heard worldwide, in an instant, 24-hours-a-day. For years, Beth has utilized Spotify in her daily life, to listen and browse tunes, and to make playlists for her Breathwork groups over at Held In The Heart.
She has discovered SOO many of her new favorite artists and songs through Spotify, and has subsequently connected with a few of them personally through social media! It’s a powerful platform, one that is an incredible tool for artists and listeners alike. The establishment of Allow Being’s artist account in 2021 felt like a milestone in and of itself.
Toward the close of each year, Spotify puts together a beautiful little collection cataloging your stats for that year. For listeners, you get to see your most listened to artists, songs, and genres, and for artists, we get to see the “results” of our labors of love – a.k.a. how many streams and hours our music was played.
“Hope Free” was released on July 14, 2021. No paid ads, marketing, or label backing with support… Just a newborn little baby song out in the world on its own. And between July and mid-November (when Spotify Wrapped was out), this sacred song saw over 8,000 streams in 13 countries!
By the end of December, “Hope Free” had closed out 2021 with over 11k streams and climbing!
As a brand new independent artist, these stats are humbling and deeply meaningful for Beth. She says, “I make music because I know I’m supposed to do it. That’s all. So to know that you are listening and connecting with my soul expression (around the world!) fills my heart and affirms my choice to show up to the Work. Thank you, dearest supporters and listeners. This is a milestone I will never forget.”
More singles and the rest of the album are coming, so keep your eyes and ears open! It’s going to be Beth’s most significant creative birth yet.

Today marks 108 days since AB’s debut single, “Hope Free” was released into the world! 🥳
A note from Beth:
THANK YOU to everyone who has listened and shared and downloaded and streamed and added to your playlists… I am truly humbled by your support and love for this special song.
It’s the first baby of many babies to come — this winter is all about recording the rest of the songs for the album. (Release date sometime next year! Stay tuned!!)
As of now, “Hope Free” has hit almost 8K streams on Spotify — which completely blows my mind and brings tears to my eyes. Any independent artist knows how meaningful it is when your music is reaching people, especially with no backing or label, etc…
So again, THANK YOU. It’s for you, and because of you. Now let’s hit that 10K milestone before the end of 2021!🔥
