72. Staying Hydrated as a Singer and a Mom—My Daily Drink Lineup
The Heart of a Singer - Vocal Rehab, Vocal Warm-ups, Christian Musician, Breathing Technique, Singing LessonsShow Notes
Want some tips on staying hydrated for singing, and while also supporting your energy and health as a mom? Then this episode is for you. I’m pulling back the curtain on my daily drink lineup and sharing how I keep my vocal folds happy, my energy steady, and my body supported. I talk about the three staples I rely on every day—water (and why I remineralize it), adrenal cocktails for electrolyte support, and my ongoing conversation with caffeine. I also share the story of how I first realized lack of hydration was impacting my singing, what I’ve learned since then, and how these simple choices make a real difference in my everyday life as a mom and a singer. I hope this gives you some practical ideas you can take into your own routine. Blessings, Sarah 🌟

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.
