The Heart of a Singer - Opera Singer, Christian Musician, Make Music, Spiritual Growth, Prophetic Song
Welcome to The Heart of a Singer Podcast. I’m Sarah Toth, Heart Coach, mom of 2, trained opera singer, and passionate lover of Jesus. This podcast is a home for Christian women who have trained and worked in singing, opera, and musical theater; but maybe you’ve found yourself in a place of unrest, bottled-up emotions, and even feeling far from God. But through the hurt of your circumstances, you might be feeling an invitation from the Lord - to learn to hear his voice more clearly and to open up yours in a new way. It’s time to move out of your desert season, musically, spiritually, and emotionally so that you can move forward in a healthy way and step out into the next chapter that God has for you. So I invite you to open up your journal, grab your favorite pen, and then join me, as we move from Stuck to Thriving, while unlocking your heart again to beat for His Kingdom Purposes.

Do you find that you are accidentally holding your breath throughout the day? Do you find yourself loosing your singing or speaking voice sometimes, or have less power than you used to? Your unintentional shallow breathing might be causing the diaphragm’s path to be shortened, and your pressure system and support system not working as it should. I explore some reasons that we unintentionally hold our breath throughout the day and what we can do about! When you get your diaphragm and pelvic floor working together better, it will result in more power and longevity for your voice!

Do you have a problem or circumstance that seems like its at an impasse? Solve your problem by changing the question! I call this "Victory Through Redefinition." I'll teach you how to examine both the question and the potential answer to challenge the "should be's" or the way things usually are. As an example, let's take a look at the challenge you may have of finding time to spend with the Lord. We examine how what you're actually looking for is communion with the Lord, and how it can be found in many different "out-of-the-box" ways. Let's dig in!

Are you finding yourself in a place of fear? Listen in to allow the words of Psalm 91 wash over you. Replace your fear with the peace and presence of God! Place yourself under God’s shadow and protection!
How? Give him your fear. Look to him instead of looking at your problem or your fear. Put your thoughts on him, instead of your fear. Trust that He is holding you and has good things for you.
