In this very first episode, host Dr. Sarah Van Waardhuizen—also known as Dr. Mom Music—shares the vision behind Find Your Voice. With over 20 years of experience as a music educator and professor at Central College, Sarah has seen firsthand how powerful voices can be—whether in the classroom, the concert hall, or everyday life.

In this episode, you’ll hear the story behind the podcast, what inspired its name, and what listeners can expect in the weeks ahead. From conversations with music educators and artists, to stories of resilience and creativity, Find Your Voice is a space where music and meaning meet.

Sponsored in part by Dr. Mom Music and Central College.
