Dear fellow music lovers and aspiring singers,

Do you remember the first time you wanted to sing on stage? That mix of excitement and terror, the way your heart raced, your palms sweated? I do. We all do. It's that universal moment of "Can I really do this?" that connects us all.

In "Learning to Fly," we dive into this very human experience of facing our fears and finding the courage to share our voice.

We discovered how sharing our voice (even when it shakes), can lead to change, growth and meaningful connections.

Remember, every voice you admire once trembled with the same fears you might be feeling. But here's the beautiful truth: your voice, with all its unique qualities, deserves to be heard. It's not about perfection – it's about connection, expression, and the courage to be yourself.

We're all in this together, and I'd love to hear your story:

- What was it like when you first sang for others? What song was it & how did you feel?

- How do you comfort yourself when nerves take over?

- What would you say to someone who's scared but longing to sing?

Tune into "Listen to Love - Episode 2: Learning to Fly" on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Thank you for listening to love,

Caitlin Lord & Katie Velvet
