Do you ever feel like your true expression is stuck inside of you, or like you’ve put yourself in a box creatively that you’re aching to break free from? Does singing sometimes feel rigid? Do you ever find yourself holding back the full power of your voice, like your sound is trapped inside that box and can’t go beyond the confines of its walls?
When you find yourself in this place of suppressing your voice, being careful to stay inside the boundaries of what’s accepted or allowed, coloring inside the lines ~ how do you break free from that box and liberate your voice to discover true freedom and flow in singing?
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about that box. What is it, what does it consist of, and how to dismantle the walls and chains keeping you captive ~ in 4 steps. I’ll also share with you my favorite singing practice ~ a practical tool to liberate your voice and open up to your true, natural design as a creative, freedom-loving soul with a unique voice that carries great power.

I’ll walk you through a journaling exercise consisting of 10 questions to ask yourself to determine how you want to use your voice, what kinds of opportunities to seek out, and how to begin sharing your singing voice wherever you happen to be on your vocal journey in this season of your life.
This will also get you thinking about your desired style of singing, your platform of choice, possible venues, outlets, places where you’d like to be singing, different ways you’d like to be sharing your voice, the kind of music you’re wanting to make, and the direction you’re longing to go as a singer and artist.
Most of all, this will help you start where you are with that one step that’s right in front of you ~ the one that is unique to you and aligned with who you are.
So bust out your favorite pens and your journal, cozy up with your favorite beverage, and let’s get into it!

Have you been shying away from those high notes? Are you afraid to lean into them so you back off and don’t give them the full power of your sound?
Or maybe you’re someone who isn’t afraid to go for it, but when you do reach for those high notes, they feel tense, closed off, pushed, forced or even harsh? Almost like you just hit a ceiling and you’re trapped underneath?
In today’s episode, I’m giving you 6 tips to help you approach those high notes with freedom and ease. And these tips all share one thing in common that is crucial to singing ~ and that is ~ imagery. Using your imagination.
I’m so excited for you to implement these into your practice and begin tapping into the power of your imagination when singing. It makes such a big difference and it’s also a lot of fun!
So let’s get into it!

Have you ever had a performance where everything went wrong? Or where one thing didn’t go well, but that’s the part you remember and so it just feels like the whole thing was a complete train wreck?
Have you ever received negative feedback after sharing your voice and singing your heart out and it left you feeling beaten down, wounded and timid, unable to ever sing again?
I know I’ve experienced both of these throughout my vocal journey.
In today’s episode, I’ll share a couple of those stories with you and I’ll also talk about how I was able to get back up and keep singing after what may have seemed like failure, rejection, or just an embarrassing mistake that shook my confidence.
As singers, we must learn how to build resilience and develop a thick skin without building walls around our heart… because it is the beautifully vulnerable heart that creates real connection when we sing. So let’s talk about finding that balance and finding the courage to get back up after we fall so we can sing again.

Hey Friend,
In today’s episode we’re gonna talk about all those unfinished songs and unused ideas that may or may not be piling up in scattered places throughout your mind, your computer, your phone notes, your journals, scraps of paper, bits of recordings... aaahh, yes. Such is the way of the creative spirit!
You see, I've recently had a perspective shift around this ~ from beating myself up for all that I've left unfinished, to embracing the nature of the creative process ~ and I’m here today to share that with you.
I'll also give you a little window into how I use writing and journaling to work through the noise of the inner critic and reconnect with my heart.
My mission for this episode is really just to encourage you and give you some perspective on the creative process and why it’s OKAY that some of your ideas have gone idle or dormant ~ so you can stop with all the internal criticism and instead, embrace your beautiful, wild and creative mind!

Hey there, Songbird!
In today’s episode, we’re diving into a little bit of vocal technique ~ but don’t worry ~ we’re keeping it simple!
We’re talking about getting to know your voice and its capabilities by gaining an understanding of your vocal range and how to navigate the different parts of it.
When you deepen your understanding of the resonance chambers within your body and how to tap into them as you move throughout the different parts of your vocal range, you can learn to access a wider spectrum of artistic choices and therefore be more expressive in your singing.
And when you have a better grasp of your instrument and how it works, your confidence grows, you begin to trust your voice, know your voice, and yes, even LOVE your voice.

When did you stop singing?
What was it that caused you to shut down your voice?
And when did you notice that desire return?
When did you realize it wasn’t going anywhere and all you could do was surrender to it?
This episode goes out to the wounded singer ~ the woman who shut down her voice somewhere along the way and stopped singing. The woman who denied herself the permission to follow her passion and sing. The woman who once sang freely with joy and ease, but then life happened…
Today I’m sharing a practical and powerful writing exercise to help you reclaim your voice and heal from the past so you can move forward and begin again with a new perspective of your singing voice and yourself as an artist.
Your voice is not lost.
Here’s to a new beginning.

Finding your voice is a journey ~ whether we’re talking about your singing voice or your authentic self-expression as a whole.
As you set out to explore and discover the truth about who you are, how you were designed, what makes you unique, what makes you just as human as the rest of us, and how you’re called to use your voice in the world, you will inevitably be asked to step outside of your comfort zone and face the unknown.
In today’s episode, we’re discussing this step, taking the risk to travel beyond what is known and opening up to what isn’t. Finding your voice. Finding the courage to step outside of your comfort zone and into the unknown. And how this applies to your singing practice.
Because there is this beautiful phenomenon that occurs when seeking to find your singing voice ~ you actually find so much more.

Hey Friend,
Do you have a creative passion project? You know... the one that’s been sitting on the back burner, collecting dust, waiting for the right time to begin again? The one that’s been on your heart for quite some time now, but you keep pushing it aside for someday? Yeah, that one… I know because I have one, too!
Well, what would it be like to take it off the back burner and bring it into focus, into the foreground, and simply begin? Or begin again? Or just to get moving in that direction, gain some momentum, breathe new life into your sails?
If there has been something on your heart that you’re wanting to create, my hope is that today’s episode will serve as a catalyst for you to get moving again. I pray that it will leave you with the inspiration you need to take that creative passion project of yours off the back burner so you can begin again with a renewed sense of vision, clarity, and strategy to make it happen.

Hey Friend!
In the moments leading up to sharing your voice and singing for people, there can be a lot of noise going through your mind as the butterflies take over and the nerves set in. It’s almost enough to keep you from doing it at all ~ if you let it. But if you can move past that fear and sing through it, you’ll rediscover your love of singing and find the joy in doing what you love, sharing your gift with others, and expressing your heart through your voice.
That’s why I’m sharing my personal grounding practice in today’s podcast episode ~ it’s a simple process to move through those anxious thoughts and the sensations they create in the body before stepping on stage and opening your mouth to sing. I’ll walk you through 6 steps, from backstage, through walking on stage, and into those first few notes and beyond. Because the truth is ~ once you get up there, and get into the zone, and really let go… there is nothing like the feeling of singing your heart out!
So whether you dream of performing live on a big stage or you just want to record a new song to share online, this grounding practice will help you calm your nerves and find that inner sense of peace before opening your heart, opening your mouth, and sharing your voice ~ in whatever form that takes (virtual / live / recorded, etc.).
I pray this blesses you!

Hey Friend!
As much as we would love to live in a state of constant creative flow, the reality is that we can often lose touch with our inspiration. We can easily find ourselves distracted, stagnant, losing sight of why we started something in the first place, stuck in a rut of apathy or boredom.
If you’ve been feeling like your creative flame has dimmed, or you’re hitting your head against a wall anytime you go to sing and make music and create, perhaps you’re in need of a little creative revitalization.
In today’s episode, I’ll share 10 of my favorite ways to rekindle that creative spark and get back into flow whenever you feel that passion start to fade. Take what works for you, add it to your artist’s toolkit for moments when you need a little boost, and before you know it, you’ll find yourself back on track to creating the art that is yours alone to create.

Do you sometimes question whether or not you can call yourself a singer?
No matter your level of experience or musical background, this question may rise up in you along the vocal journey, whether you’re just embarking on this new adventure or coming back to your voice after many years of distance. When you’re going through a creative dry spell, or a period of not performing, or if you have the desire to sing but have yet to allow yourself to pursue that dream, this “imposter syndrome” can be so debilitating.
In today’s episode, we’re going deeper into artist identity and the importance of nurturing your desire to sing so that you can get beyond the mind games of the inner critic and start moving towards the desires of your heart. I’ll share with you 3 steps to work through this question of identity and embrace the artist within ~ the part of you that is longing to sing and create something meaningful.
See you inside!

Hey Friend,
Ahh, yes. The comparison trap. It shows up in all areas of life as human beings, so it’s no surprise that as singers and artists, it has the potential to derail us from even believing our voice is worth sharing.
But this doesn’t have to be your story. This is a trap that is completely avoidable when you recognize it, see it for what it is, and learn to embrace the beauty of your own unique sound.
So in today’s episode, I’ll share some words of encouragement and insights that will help you dismantle the lies of the inner critic and come back to the truth of your one-of-a-kind gift ~ your authentic voice.

Hey there, Songbird!
Perhaps you know by now that the desire to express yourself through your voice ~ to experience what it feels like to sing with freedom and feeling ~ that desire is not going away. When the calling ~ the deep longing ~ is there, I believe it was planted there for a reason. That means it’s IN you ~ the music, the gift, the song in your heart. It’s just a matter of tapping into it. But how?
In today’s episode, I’ll outline my B.R.E.A.T.H.E. formula ~ the 7 physical AND energetic keys to unlock your singing voice from the inside out. This will help you identify where you may be getting stuck and what you can do to open it up… and *hint*... it may not be what you expect. Because beautiful, expressive singing goes far beyond vocal technique.
So if you want to know how to access the natural beauty, expression, and unique sound of your instrument, to uncover the music that’s already inside of you, calling you to set it free ~ tune in.
