7: How Firefighters Responded to My Musical Emergency
What started as a routine coffee stop turned into one of the boldest—and most unexpected—moments of the music project. In this episode, I come face-to-face with a lofty goal: asking a firefighter what song reminds them of a happy memory. But it didn’t unfold the way I imagined.
This story is about choosing between comfort and courage, pushing through fear, and embracing awkwardness. I share how doing something intimidating can lead to deeper connections—even if that’s just to another part of yourself.
3 takeaways:
You don’t always get the “perfect” opportunity. Sometimes you’ve just gotta take the one you’ve got.
Feeling awkward or nervous doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong; it often means you’re doing something meaningful. And you’re getting stronger by pushing through the discomfort!
Courage gets easier the more you practice taking small risks.
