In one of our more chaotic episodes, we discuss what it means to experience burnout and how it has looked different in both our lives. Through honest reflection, we share how we have become overwhelmed by burnout but also the ways in which we have learned to remain present in the moment.

In today’s episode, we talk with an experienced educator about the things she wished she had known when she started teaching.

By reflecting on our past conference experiences, we discuss what professionalism looks like to us, how it has changed throughout our college careers, and discuss the type of professionals we hope to be.

In today’s episode, we talk about navigating difficult seasons of life and explore how leaning into hard moments can shape who we’re becoming. By sharing about our own difficult season, we remember that it’s okay to struggle and remind ourselves, and our audience, that people can do hard things.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Gomez-Peck, a music theory professor at the University of Alabama, to talk about what makes a successful student. Together, we unpack misconceptions about achievement, the value of understanding why, and sharing practical tips to make the most out of college classes.

In today’s episode, we reflect on the season of change we find ourselves in and the goodbyes that come with growth. Through honest conversations, we discuss the hardest parts of embracing change, but also the exciting parts of looking towards the future. 

Welcome back to season two of our podcast! In today’s episode, we reflect on our recent breaks and the value we found in truly taking time to rest. We also look ahead to what’s next as we share our goals and hopes for the upcoming semester.

In today’s episode, we share a casual conversation about the value of building and nurturing choir culture. Drawing from our own experiences, we reflect on how different leaders cultivate unique choir environments and the lasting impact those cultures have had on us as singers. We also share some of our most profound musical moments and how the sense of community and belonging within those choirs made those experiences even more powerful.
