The Heart of a Singer - Vocal Rehab, Vocal Warm-ups, Christian Musician, Breathing Technique, Singing LessonsShow Notes
Are you feeling nervous and self-conscious when you use your singing voice these days? When you’ve been away from singing for a while, it’s easy to get in your head—overthinking every note, sound, and wondering what people might be thinking about you. In this episode, I want to show you how to flip that narrative. We’re talking about what you’re letting your brain be occupied with while you sing—essentially, your subtext. Changing what you focus on while you sing can help you let go of overthinking, make a bigger impact, and even cause your singing to be better than before— without even trying. I’ll give you through three practical ways to reframe your thoughts and “change the channel” in your mind—so you can stop obsessing over how you sound and instead jump straight to connection, worship, and genuine expression. If you’re a trained singer getting back into it or a mom wondering if your voice still has a place—this episode is a gentle nudge to reconnect with your gift in a life-giving way.
Blessings,

Maybe you’ve been wanting to make progress with your voice… but what you’ve been trying isn’t really working.
Have you been wondering, Is something wrong with my voice?
If your voice feels tired, unsupported, or strained—especially after singing or even just talking for a short time—you’re not alone. Many moms are faithfully doing pelvic floor exercises and still feel disconnected from real vocal support. In this episode, I want to gently shift the focus away from “trying harder” and toward something that often gets overlooked: alignment. When your body is aligned, your pelvic floor and breath can actually work together the way they were designed to. I’ll walk you through a simple, restful floor position using the wall and a few pillows that helps reset your ribcage, diaphragm, and pelvic floor. This isn’t about effort or force—it’s about giving your body the space it needs so you can finally feel pelvic floor engagement. If you’re a tired mama, postpartum singer, or feeling frustrated with vocal fatigue, this gentle practice can bring more ease, support, and confidence back into your voice in just a few minutes a day.
As a mom, it’s easy to feel discouraged about your singing—especially if your voice doesn’t feel the way it used to, you don’t have time to practice, or lessons feel out of reach. If you can relate, then I invite you into a perspective shift that will help you sing more this year. Instead of focusing on insecurities or limitations, you’ll be encouraged to see singing as a tool for joy, service, connection, and passing something meaningful on to others.
