In this episode of On Key, I sit down with my good friend and student, Erin Milligan, to talk about what it looks like to carry music with you throughout life—not necessarily as a career, but as a calling.

Erin shares her journey of returning to voice lessons as an adult, leading worship in church settings, and writing songs as a creative and spiritual outlet. We talk about the joys and challenges of growing musically outside of a formal profession, and how music can remain a life-giving presence in every season.

Whether you’re a lifelong musician, someone who sings in secret, or a listener who’s just curious what it means to live a creative life, this conversation is full of encouragement, honesty, and heart.

Topics we cover:

• Taking voice lessons as an adult

• Leading worship with voice and keys

• Writing songs as personal expression

• Making time for music outside of a music career

• Letting go of perfection and embracing joy in creativity

🎧 Tune in and be inspired to reconnect with the music you love—on your terms.
