Ever feel like you don’t belong in your ensemble… or like you just got “lucky” with that audition?
You’re not alone, impostor syndrome is louder than most people admit.
In this clip, we dive into the thoughts that make singers doubt themselves, and how to start breaking that cycle.
🎯 “I started the video eight times before hitting record… sound familiar?”
Perfectionism shows up in singers in all kinds of sneaky way, obsessing over a note, replaying a performance in your head, or freezing at the thought of making a mistake.
This week, I’m breaking down the 3 classic types of perfectionist singers:
1️⃣ Self-oriented: Your own impossibly high bar.
2️⃣ Other-oriented: Expecting everyone else to meet your standards.
3️⃣ Socially-prescribed: Believing everyone is watching you, expecting flawless.
Awareness is power. Once you see your pattern, you can start shifting from flawless → fearless and polished → present.
💬 “Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” — Suzy Kassem
A little weekend reminder to quiet that inner critic.
Your voice matters. Your story matters. Keep showing up, even when doubt gets loud. 💜

A mix of good, not so good, and “how did I not know this was possible?!”
Heated up some Panera’s Autumn Squash soup. Added some protein-laden quinoa to bring down the glycemic load, then topped it with sesame-oil pan-sautéed tilapia (not the healthiest of fish but so versatile) with pumpkin hot sauce for a little kick. Perfect for a cold-weather mid-day meal.

As a singer, you’ve heard that. But if that’s what you believe, you will never be the performer you could be! You’re cheating yourself and your audience if you stop there.
As a singer/vocal coach, health/life coach and massage therapist I have seen that you need your physical body for creating the structure: the breathing, the sound, and the ears to critically listen and discern. You also need your mental and emotional capacity to learn, interpret, feel, and convey the message and the meaning the composer had in mind. Finally, the other part of your instrument is your spiritual voice: the magical-mystical inspired part that sings through you and lands in the heart of your listener and moves their soul to weep or cheer.
Do you want to be a better performer and sing with confidence and consistency? Have better breath support and energy, singing with confidence all the way to the ends of the phrase? Shaping your vocal line to rise and fall with the emotion of the message? Would being able to do that be more fun?
I can teach you the vocal warm ups and techniques to improve your voice, your breathing, and your power. What I’ll do that’s different is teach you all the back-stage tricks to create HARMONY between your body, your mind, and your voice so you can sing with ease and stability, energy and stamina, and have more fun and confidence.
