61. God is Giving New Vision to Musician Moms!

I truly believe God is breathing life into moms again. You might have felt stagnant, stuck, and disappointed as a musician after you became a mom. You might have even been scared to ask God for what he has for you next, feeling like you have no time or capacity. You might even feel like your dry, desert season might never end. But I believe God wants to show you his vision for what to put your hand to next. I believe his next season for you is right around the corner. In this episode, I unpack 10 reasons why embracing God's vision and promise over your life will make your busy, day-to-day life even better than before! I encourage you to lean in, and embrace what God might be whispering to you about how to use your voice and your musical talents during this busy time of motherhood.

55. No Motivation to Sing? 3 Babysteps to Vocal Rehab
Even with years of training, there may be seasons where you don’t feel like singing—and you’re not even sure *why*. Here’s 3 areas to address that might help move from a place of vocal silence to singing freely again:
 
1. Vocal and Physical Challenges – “My voice is not like what it used to be.” Where to start getting back on track with body alignment and vocal technique.
2. Heart Hurt – “People don’t want to hear me sing.” Past experiences, traumas, or negative comments that might have stayed with you, resulting in a loss of confidence.
3. Crushed Spirit – “I’m not sure I can still go after my dreams.” Disappointments, lost opportunities, or unfulfilled promises from God might leave you feeling hesitant to dream again.
 
This episode will help you form an action plan - both for a practical baby-step you can do today to start singing again, along with bigger next steps to finding growth and freedom in your voice long-term!
 
Blessings, Sarah 🌟

54. Heart Flow = Singing Flow: Come Unstuck in the Name of Jesus!
 
Have you ever felt like your voice is stuck—and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to have ease in singing anymore? What if the issue isn’t just vocal... but is at the heart-level as well?
In this episode, we explore the connection between your heart and your voice. When your heart feels guarded, hurt, or overwhelmed, it often shows up in your singing too. You can think of your voice like a thermometer for your heart - paralleling what is going on inside of us.
We need heart transformation to change the trajectory. God enables us, by His Spirit, to bring Him praise - and simple praise and thanksgiving begins to change us deep inside. Let’s journey this together!
 
Blessings, Sarah 🌟
