Singing can feel incredibly vulnerable.

Your voice isn’t just an instrument — it’s part of your body, your history, and your identity. So when you share it, of course you can feel exposed.

In this episode, we explore why singers and songwriters struggle with fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism, especially after criticism or difficult experiences.

And we talk about how confidence is really built:

not by pushing or pretending you’re fearless, but through small, safe moments of letting yourself be heard.

You’ll learn practical, compassionate ways to rebuild trust in your voice, expand your comfort zone, and return to singing from a place of authenticity and creative flow.

If you’ve loved singing but felt afraid to share your voice, this episode will help you find your way back.

Have you ever noticed yourself pulling away from your creativity — even though making music is something you love?

In this episode, we explore why singers and songwriters disconnect from their creativity, voice, or songwriting practice — and why this distance is often a form of self-protection, not failure.

We’ll talk about the vulnerability of making music, the pressure to “do it right,” and the quiet ways perfectionism, overwhelm, or life changes can cause us to step back from our creative selves.

Most importantly, I’ll share gentle, grounded ways to return to making music without forcing inspiration or waiting to feel confident first. This isn’t about discipline or fixing yourself — it’s about rebuilding trust with your voice and your creativity.

If you’re a singer-songwriter who’s been feeling disconnected, stuck, or unsure how to begin again, this episode is for you.

Do song lyrics come first — or does the melody lead the way? The truth is, songs don’t begin in just one way.

In this episode, I walk you through five common “doorways” into songwriting — simple, human starting points that can help you move past the frozen feeling of “Where do I start?” We explore how songs can begin through lyrics, melody, rhythm, harmony, or listening to what’s already stirring beneath the surface — and how finding your doorway can make songwriting feel more natural and less intimidating.

If you’ve been searching for a simple way to start writing songs, this episode offers a clear framework you can return to again and again — without pressure, rules, or overthinking.
