    118 | Feeling Stuck Writing Songs? Find Your Place in the Songwriting Process

    04.08.2026 | 18 Min.
    Have you ever wondered why songwriting feels effortless one day — and impossible the next?

    What if the problem isn't that you're creatively blocked, but that you're in a different stage of the songwriting process?

    In this episode, I'm looking back on an unexpected discovery. What started as a summer of recording podcast episodes about singing, songwriting, and creativity turned into a deep study of the creative process itself. As I paid attention to my own songwriting practice, I began noticing familiar patterns: gathering ideas, choosing a direction, working through the messy middle, finishing a song, and finally finding the courage to share it.

    Every stage has its own challenges. Every songwriter gets stuck somewhere. The key isn't trying to force your way through—it's learning to recognize where you are and what that stage is asking of you.

    Whether you're struggling to find song ideas, stuck halfway through a draft, caught in perfectionism, or having a hard time finishing and sharing your music, this episode will help you locate yourself in the process so you can keep moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

    117 | The Secret To Vocal Confidence Isn't Having a Better Singing Voice

    28.07.2026 | 19 Min.
    What if the secret to vocal confidence isn't having a better singing voice?

    So many singers believe confidence comes after they improve their technique, sound better, or finally feel "good enough." But what if confidence begins somewhere else?

    In this episode, we're exploring a different way of thinking about vocal confidence—one that's rooted not in perfection, but in trust. I share why learning to trust your singing voice enough to let it be heard may be more important than chasing the perfect sound, and how our inner critic often pulls us out of the experience of singing and into the role of judge.

    Whether you're recording yourself, performing on stage, posting a video online, or simply singing for someone you trust, the invitation is the same: stay on your own side. Instead of asking, "Did I sound good?" what if you asked, "Did I stay connected to myself? Did I tell the truth?"

    If you've ever struggled with self-criticism, hated the sound of your own singing voice, or felt afraid to let your voice be heard, this episode will encourage you to build confidence from the inside out.

    116 | How Do You Know When a Song Is Finished?

    21.07.2026 | 21 Min.
    How do you know when a song is actually finished?

    Not when it's perfect. Not when you've exhausted every possible revision. But when it's ready to let go.

    In this episode, we're exploring the final stage of the songwriting process: knowing when to stop revising and trust the song you've written. I share what happened after revisiting an old song that finally found its missing verse—only to discover myself slipping into endless tweaking, second-guessing, and overthinking every artistic decision.

    We'll talk about the difference between healthy revision and hypercriticism, why perfectionism keeps so many songwriters stuck, and how to recognize when another rewrite isn't helping the song anymore. Sometimes the hardest part of songwriting isn't finding inspiration or writing the first draft—it's trusting yourself enough to finish.

    Whether you're working on your first song or your fiftieth, this episode is an invitation to embrace the imperfect beauty of your work and remember that every finished song is simply a snapshot of who you were when you chose to let it go.

    In this episode, we'll explore:

    how to know when a song is finished

    the final stage of the songwriting process

    songwriting revision vs. perfectionism

    editing and revising song lyrics

    overcoming self-criticism in songwriting

    trusting your creative instincts

    why finishing a song is an act of trust

    avoiding overthinking during the songwriting process

    letting go of perfection and releasing your music

    building a sustainable creative practice

    115 | The Hardest Part of the Songwriting Process: Choosing What Belongs

    14.07.2026 | 18 Min.
    Have you ever held onto a lyric, melody, or song idea simply because you've lived with it for so long?

    In this episode, we're exploring a different stage of the songwriting process — not gathering inspiration, but choosing what belongs. I share the story of revisiting an old song and making one unexpected change that revealed a deeper, more honest version of the story it had been trying to tell all along.

    We'll talk about why artistic growth isn't just about creating more — it's about developing the discernment to recognize what truly serves the song. Sometimes the hardest part of songwriting isn't writing the next line. It's having the courage to let go of something good so something truer can emerge.

    Whether you're writing songs, making music, or simply learning to trust your creative instincts, this episode is an invitation to embrace the deeper work of choosing, revising, and telling the truth in your art.

    In this episode, we'll explore:

    the songwriting process beyond first drafts

    editing and revising song lyrics

    how to know what belongs in a song

    creative discernment and artistic choices

    telling the truth through songwriting

    letting go of lyrics that no longer serve the song

    trusting your creative instincts

    why honesty leads to stronger songs

    embracing revision as part of the creative process

    114 | Try This 10-Minute Singing Practice When Your Voice Feels Tired

    07.07.2026 | 18 Min.
    Feeling tired, stiff, or disconnected from your singing voice?

    In this episode, I'm sharing a simple 10-minute singing practice I used after a long holiday weekend to reconnect with my voice—without forcing it, judging it, or trying to sound "better."

    Instead of focusing on vocal technique or performance, this practice begins with noticing how your voice feels today, meeting it where it is, and allowing it to lead the way through humming, movement, improvisation, and familiar songs.

    We'll explore:

    how to reconnect with your singing voice in just 10 minutes

    what to do when your voice feels tired or low-energy

    why noticing your body's sensations can be more helpful than judging your sound

    how improvisation and movement can help your voice open naturally

    embracing your voice as it is instead of fighting against it

    If your singing has been feeling stale, disconnected, or you're simply looking for a gentle way back into your voice, I hope this practice helps you rediscover the joy of singing—exactly as you are today.
