But I couldn't shake the belief that no matter what the industry had to say about all the ways I was failing, it shouldn't have to be this way. I knew what I was capable of; I'd had so many glimpses of it, and I had a deep, visceral sense of what free, easy, powerful, impactful singing was meant to feel like in my body. I just couldn't do it. And no amount of technical adjusting and revamping was fixing it. And the constant stress and grief were eating me alive.

​

Then the pandemic hit, and I won't lie, as sad as I was to have all my gigs for the year disappear overnight, it was also a bit of a relief to have a break from pushing to keep up and being reminded with each gig that the act of singing was so much harder than I wanted it to be and just didn't feel good anymore... as much as I still loved it.

​

Fast forward again to when things started opening up again. Including all the old fears, frustrations, and struggles with my voice. And then I got Covid - with complications due to my underlying chronic health issues. During my two hospitalizations and three months of recovery I ended up with a lot of time on my hands. Time to think, feel, learn, and reevaluate my needs, desires, and priorities. Three months out from under the crushing demands of the industry and society at large. Three months experiencing life without my trauma being front-and-center every single day. And things began coming into focus.

​

As I progressed through my vocal rehab, I realized that from this state of rest, calm, and regulation, my singing actually felt... easier. More embodied. More versatile. More joyful! A fuller expression of my self.

​

All without a single technical "fix." Just intuitive, unencumbered singing enabled by a well-regulated nervous system.

​

Re-entering the world was a new, challenging phase of the process. How would I maintain this new way of being and singing once the old demands and baggage settled back onto my shoulders? It wasn't easy. It's still not easy. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done. But my god, is it RICH!

​

I invite you to imagine what your life could look like when you're not feeling triggered in your career all the time: whether it's from industry trauma or attachment trauma from childhood. What singing could feel like with a well-regulated nervous system that lovingly supports your voice instead of fearfully fighting to protect you from it. When you're attuned to your body in ways that allow you to nourish it and enjoy it more deeply, and have that reflected in your voice every time you open your mouth.

​
