The Light That Holds All was born during a season of deep transition for me. A time when I had made bold life changes, stepped away from what was familiar, and found myself moving through the world alone. I was traveling solo, listening closely to my inner voice, and learning what it meant to trust myself when certainty was nowhere to be found.

​

There were moments of freedom, yes, but also doubt, fear, and loneliness. Moments where I questioned my choices. Moments where the path ahead felt foggy, and I longed for reassurance that I was being held by something greater than my own courage.

It was during this time that my mum wrote the original lyrics to this song.

​

Her words arrived like a soft hand on my back, loving and unwavering. When she shared them with me, I felt something stir immediately. A knowing. A quiet yes. I could feel the truth in the words before the music even existed.

​

I took her lyrics and began to gently shape them. Refining the phrasing, crafting the melody, and building a musical landscape that could hold the message fully. What emerged was not just a song, but a companion.

​

For weeks, The Light That Holds All became part of my daily rhythm.

I listened to it while stretching in the mornings, during slow walks, and in moments when my nervous system needed grounding. I played it on repeat, not because I was trying to escape what I was feeling, but because it helped me stay present with it.

And something subtle, yet powerful, began to shift.

The song replaced my fear with trust.
It reminded me that I was not walking alone.

​

Each time I listened, I felt an inner strength rise, the quiet power that comes from remembering who you are. A trust that the universe was with me. Loving me. Supporting me. Guiding me, even when I couldn’t see the full path ahead.

​

At its heart, this song is a remembering.

A remembering that the light we seek outside of ourselves — the reassurance, the love, the direction — has always lived within us. That even in our darkest moments, there is a presence holding us.

​

My mum’s words speak to this truth so beautifully. A story of a woman who whispers into the silence, and hears an answer not from the stars above her, but from the golden flame within her chest.

​

This song is for anyone standing at the edge of the unknown.
For anyone who has chosen courage over comfort.
For anyone who has felt alone, and yet sensed there must be something more holding them.

May it meet you where you are.
May it remind you of the light that lives within you.
And may it carry you — as it carried me — back to trust, back to presence, back to your light.
