In this episode, we talk with a singer who performs in Hungarian, Ukrainian, and English, leads her own band, performing at diverse events and working on her upcoming albums - Ulyanna Donetskaya.

We dive into the fear behind the stage: the fear of starting, the fear of mistakes, and the constant presence of an inner critic that every artist knows. Ulyanna openly shares what helps her to push that voice aside, keep moving forward despite the complications, and keep creating anyway.

We also speak about the role of a nurturing environment, investments and our guest sharing hints for those who are doing their first steps as a singer.

This conversation is a reminder that artists are afraid too and that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the power of will and focus.
