99 | How to Find Your Songwriting Voice
24/03/2026 | 18 mins.
How do you actually find your songwriting voice?

Is it something you discover… or something that develops over time?

Many songwriters feel stuck here — overthinking their ideas, comparing themselves to others, and wondering if what they’re creating is original or “good enough.”

But your voice isn’t something you find by thinking.

It’s something that emerges through the act of writing.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to find your songwriting voice and why the process is less about figuring it out — and more about staying in the work long enough for something true to come through.

We talk about:

• Why overthinking can keep you disconnected from your creative voice
• How your life experiences and perspective shape your songwriting
• The role of practice, experimentation, and finishing songs
• Letting go of perfectionism and writing imperfect songs

Because you don’t find your voice before you begin.

You find it by writing.

If you’re ready to move from second-guessing your songs to developing a voice that actually feels like you, this episode will meet you where you are.

98 | Permission to Sing Imperfectly: Letting Go of Perfection in Your Voice
17/03/2026 | 21 mins.
Many singers hold themselves back because they’re trying to sound perfect.

They control their tone, their breath, their phrasing — carefully managing every detail so nothing falls apart. But sometimes that control is exactly what keeps the voice from expressing something real.

In this episode, we explore the balance between vocal technique and emotional honesty, and why perfectionism can quietly block the freedom and authenticity that make music powerful.

We talk about:

• Why singers often try to control their voice instead of expressing the emotion of the song
• How perfectionism can keep you from fully connecting to the music
• The courage it takes to surrender control and “go there” emotionally
• Giving yourself permission to sing imperfectly but truthfully

Because the most powerful performances aren’t always technically perfect — they’re emotionally honest.

97 | When Can You Call Yourself a Singer Songwriter?
10/03/2026 | 20 mins.
At what point are you “allowed” to call yourself a singer-songwriter?

Is it after you finish your first song?
Release music publicly?
Perform for other people?

Many artists carry a quiet belief that they’re not a real singer-songwriter yet — that they need to be better, more confident, or further along before claiming that identity.

In this episode, we explore the journey of becoming an artist and the internal shift that happens when you start taking your creative voice seriously.

We talk about:

• Why so many artists hesitate to call themselves singer-songwriters
• The invisible rules that keep people waiting for permission
• How identity grows alongside practice, not after perfection
• The role of curiosity, exploration, and consistency in the creative journey

If you’ve been writing songs, exploring your voice, and wondering when you’re “allowed” to claim the title of singer-songwriter, this episode is for you.

Becoming an artist isn’t a single moment — it’s a practice.

96 | Not Finishing Your Songs? 3 Reasons Singer-Songwriters Get Stuck
03/03/2026 | 23 mins.
You start songs all the time.
But finishing them? That’s where things fall apart.

If your voice memos are full of half-written lyrics and abandoned ideas, you’re not lazy — and you’re not untalented. In this episode, we explore three common reasons singer-songwriters struggle to finish their songs: perfectionism, lack of creative systems, and hitting a skill edge.

Because sometimes the problem isn’t motivation.
It’s protection.
It’s disorganization.
It’s growth.

If you’re ready to move from scattered ideas to steady creative momentum, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

95 | The Quiet Artist: You Want to Be a Singer-Songwriter – But You're Still Hiding
24/02/2026 | 22 mins.
You say you want to be a singer-songwriter. You want to share your voice, write your own songs, and be heard.

So why are you still hiding?

In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet fear that keeps so many aspiring singer-songwriters small — the fear of being seen, of sharing unfinished work, of letting your real voice be heard.

If you struggle with vocal confidence, hesitate to share your music, or feel stuck in perfectionism, this conversation is for you.

We’ll explore:
• Why hiding feels safer than expression
• How fear of being seen shows up in your singing voice
• The subtle ways you may be shrinking your artistry
• And how to begin building creative confidence — one small step at a time

You don’t need to be fearless to become an artist.
You just need to be willing.

This podcast was born from a time in my life when I had worked so hard to mold my voice into what I thought it was supposed to be that I lost my way as an artist… and stopped singing altogether. After years of trying to perfect my sound, I realized I didn’t want to perform other people’s music anymore. I wanted to sing my own.
