Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a big fan of playlists. I have my “feel good” playlist, my “stretching” playlist, and multiple “workout” playlists. And now, I have a “mentoring” playlist.
As part of our wrap-up celebration for the PINKK Mentoring Program, I created this playlist with songs that resonated with me as it relates to Mentoring; in particular PINKK Mentoring. Many thanks to Athena Golianis and the amazing women who participated in this program who inspired me in so many ways.
Here are the songs along with the lyrics that caught my attention.
Hope you enjoy as much as I do!
PINKK Mentoring Playlist:
Masterpiece – Andy Grammar – “This is your masterpiece, don’t forget to dream and taste the colors in the air you breathe. It’s your masterpiece, go ahead and fill it all, Don’t stop til it is beautiful.”
This One’s for the Girls – Martina McBride – what’s not to like about this one!
I’ll Be There – Jess Glynne – “Oh, oh, I’ll be there. When you need a little love, I got a little love to share. Yeah, I’m gonna come through. You’ll never be alone, I’ll be there for you.” A great message from your mentor-mentee and all of us at PINKK!
You Will – Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Nettles – “Own every breath, own every minute. Who lives a life that’s got no limits. Only one thing you need to know…Just never think you won’t, and you will!” “Break down the doors. Break through the walls. You already have it all!”
Feels Like Home – Segala – “wherever the good vibe is, it feels like home.” Appreciating all the good vibes in our PINKK group!
Look What God Gave Her – Thomas Rhett – “Look what God gave her, How perfect He made her.” Keep feeling empowered and confident because you all are Perfect!
Brand New Me – Alicia Keys – “It took a long long time to get here. It took a brave girl to try.” And “If I talk a little louder, speak up, walk a little taller...it’s just the brand new kind of me.” Hope you’ve grown through your mentoring relationship & journey to a brand new kind of you!
Treat Myself – Meghan Trainor – “Damn, I been working real hard on myself, on my health, and my happiness. Hit pause on my life, took time on my mind… Let me give myself a hand.” You all deserve to applaud yourselves…you’ve invested much in your mentoring journey!
All I Am – Jess Glynne – “All I know and all I am is you…. If you ever think you’re falling, You know I’ll catch you too.” Taking these a bit out of the context of the song….but it’s a great uplifting beat and reminds me that we are here to catch each other!
Can’t Stop the Feeling – Justin Timberlake – “I got that sunshine in my pocket, Got that good soul in my feet!” Such a great uplifting song that reminds me how I feel whenever I’m engaged in a conversation with you amazing ladies!
Good To Be Alive – Meghan Trainor – “I ain’t tryna think about all my problems, I’m livin now….I can’t sit and worry about the future, I’m livin now! So put your hands up if you feel like havin a good time. Put your hands up if you got no cares at all!” This is from the Peanuts movie. Sometimes we just need a really really good Feel-Good song…and this does it for me!
