Rock Your Voice Podcast

Please don't feel like a bad singer if you have to change keys to be able to do your best for the song.

This episode digs in to why changing key is important for your voice health, the audience and the song.

There is no shame in changing the key, in fact it shows musical maturity, flexibility and skill.

In this session, I'm simply getting my voice ready to run through some songs to choose for a set list.

I invite you to join along, if you are looking for a simple and effective vocal warm up to prep you for something similar!

What if jealousy wasn’t something to be ashamed of — but a signal that you’re capable of more?

In this episode, I dive into the psychology of jealousy and FOMO, and how these emotions actually point you toward your potential. Instead of seeing envy as a flaw, you’ll learn how to decode it as proof that the thing you admire in someone else is also possible for you.

I’ll talk about:

• Why jealousy is often a mirror of your untapped capability.

• How to shift from comparison to curiosity and self-awareness.

• How FOMO can reveal what you truly value and want to experience.

• Practical ways to turn those emotional triggers into motivation and momentum.

If you’ve ever caught yourself scrolling, comparing, or feeling left behind — this episode will help you reframe those emotions as powerful guidance toward your next level.

Jealousy isn’t proof that you’re behind — it’s evidence that you belong in the room. It’s your inner voice saying, “You can do that too.”

There are a ton of videos circulating right now with music theory pros highlighting the technical aspects of Taylor Swifts latest album.

While I think its great that these elements are getting coverage, I also think it's important that you don't need to have a high proficiency in music theory to write great songs.

In this episode I share a story about my music theory journey, and how sometimes being open to new things, and not worrying about what you don't know can open doors to new creativity.

I'd also like to know from the Swifties out there.....what is Taylors theory background? Obviously she's highly skilled in music and writing, but does it come from training or creativity or both?

In this conversation, I'm joined by Wendy Parr an Holistic Vocal + Artist Development Coach, and Founder of The Parr Method. Wendy has spent 30 years in the entertainment industry empowering recording artists to develop their authentic voice with confidence and consistency under any circumstance. The philosophy of The Parr Method is to help artists identify mental and physical limitations, find their power through presence and emotion, and impart tools + knowledge to expand on their ability. 

Wendy’s tried and true approach has amplified artists from developing to Grammy award winning icons. The Parr Method guided A Great Big World from their 1st vocal session to a GRAMMY. Parr Method Alumni include: Melanie Martinez, Zoe Kravitz, Regina Spektor, Sara Bareilles, Ballistik Boyz, PVRIS, Qveen Herby, Isabel LaRosa, Edis + more

Wendy shares their journey in music, starting from a young age and navigating the complexities of the music industry. They emphasize the importance of authenticity, finding one's unique voice, and the role of collaboration in artistic growth. The discussion also touches on balancing passion with the business side of music, embracing change, and the significance of personal growth in an artist's journey. The speaker offers valuable advice for emerging artists, encouraging them to lean into their strengths and pursue what they love.

Are You Blocking Your Own Success?

This episode is shared with so much love and support for you and your career, however sometimes growth is the toughest door to pass through and it's hard to see from the inside....

In this conversation, I explore the concept of self-sabotage and how it can hinder success, particularly in the music industry.

I discuss the neuroscience behind fear and change, emphasizing the importance of understanding upper-level limiting beliefs. I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, rewire your brains for success, and embrace the challenges that come with growth.

I want to highlight the significance of community, networking, and emotional attachment to goals, urging you to reflect on your journeys and the stories you tell yourself.

Takeaways

Self-sabotage can be a major barrier to success.

Understanding upper-level limiting is crucial for growth.

The brain is wired to keep you safe, making change feel scary.

Artists often stay in their comfort zones, hindering their progress.

Repetition can help rewire your brain for success.

Networking and community support are vital for artists.

Emotional attachment to goals can drive success.

Reflection on personal growth is essential for motivation.

Turbulence in life often indicates growth and change.

Trust yourself and the journey you are on.
