Empathetic Musicians

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to share my thoughts on 2021 and share with you what I see for 2022! In the final episode of the year, I read a portion of an email I wrote to myself, talk about setting boundaries, and changes for So Just Collab. I really saw this year how I was finding myself in situations that do not serve my highest self. As I reflect on myself, I hope YOU see something you can leave behind and something you want to bring into 2022! 

As always, empathy, vulnerability, and imperfections are valued here.

Welcome to Empathetic Musicians, hosted by Sophia Stermer, owner of So Just Collab. In today’s episode, Aly Leia Wein, one of her friends from back home, talks about her relationship with music. They have had the opportunity to reconnect several times over the past eight years ever since they first danced together in Oak Park, CA. 

Aly talks about her non-traditional college journey, her deep connection to music, and how you don't need to commodify your passion for music. She points out that we can have many relationships with music such as how we feel as singers, pianists, and so on. Something you learn from her is that music meets us where we are in life. As always, empathy, vulnerability, and imperfections are valued here.

Welcome to Empathetic Musicians, hosted by Sophia Stermer, owner of So Just Collab. In today’s episode, we are sitting down with the show's first guest, and one of her dearest friends, Hayley George. Sophia has known Hayley for over 10 years and shared the stage with her while they were in high school together. 

Hayley talks about how she fell in love with musical theatre at a young age, her favorite moments with music on stage, as well as the difference in atmosphere for musical theatre in high school versus community college. She also talks about the negative experiences she's had in trying to keep music close to her. That harsh reality of becoming "an adult" is something Hayley points out, but is also a reminder that no one can stop us from pursuing what we love. As always, empathy, vulnerability, and imperfections are valued here.
