In this episode of Tales from The Lane, I'm joined by the brilliant and ever-evolving vocalist Emily Byrne.

Emily's career has spanned opera houses across Europe, intimate cabaret stages here in the U.S., and now, a bold new project close to her heart: recording a jazz album with her father in honor of his milestone birthday.

We talk about:

• How Emily navigated the shift from opera to cabaret and jazz

• The internal scripts she had to rewrite to embrace reinvention

• What she learned about vulnerability and community support through crowdfunding

• The habits and mindsets that have fueled her creative resilience

• Why taking artistic risks is not just worthwhile, but essential

If you've ever wondered what it takes to pivot into a new chapter of your creative life, this conversation will inspire you to step beyond your comfort zone and say yes to what lights you up.

Emily also shares details about her jazz album project and how you can be part of bringing it to life.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Emily's one-woman show Siren, Songbirds, and Showgirls

• Her upcoming cabaret projects, The Hostess with the Mostes' and A Cool Yule Cabaret

• My book, Beyond Potential: A Guide for Creatives Who Want to Re-assess, Re-define, and Re-ignite Their Careers
