Philosophy for Life

Jul 19 2024 • 1 hr 4 mins

What if music could change the way you talk to yourself? Join me, Deron Brown, as I chat with the trailblazing Tony Jones, who transitioned from life coaching to creating affirmation music, a genre she invented to help people practice self-love and wellness on the go. Tony takes us through her inspiring journey influenced by gospel, soulful R&B, and motivational figures like Reverend Ike and Abraham Hicks. Growing up in Metro Detroit, she experienced firsthand the social and economic challenges that shaped her community, all of which fueled her passion for mental health and self-empowerment.

Tony opens up about the revolutionary concept of "Wife Your Life," where she emphasizes turning inward to become your own source of love and support. We explore the dynamics of giving and receiving in relationships, the pitfalls of self-sacrifice, and the continuous journey of mastering self-love. Tony’s insights extend to all forms of relationships, including friendships and family ties, highlighting how redirecting energy back to oneself leads to profound personal growth and fulfillment.

Tune in as we delve into Tony's upcoming album "Affirmations for Liberation," which touches on themes of personal and collective freedom. Tony bravely shares her struggles with mental health, societal norms, and the pressures of productivity. We discuss the importance of self-regulation, mental well-being, and how her background in psychology and neuroscience informs her music. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the powerful intersection of music, mental health, and the transformative journey toward self-liberation.
