Ep. 10 Anna talks to fellow voice teacher, singer, and friend Monica. :) Monica shares her voice journey from lil child through college, the feeling of being under a microscope, and the confusing dichotomy of being able to help singers love their voices while not necessarily be able to love her own.

Ep. 8 Happy 'Our first guest on the pod day!!' WOOO!! Today Nicole Baker comes on to chat about her journey from doing a BFA in musical theatre to discovering her calling as a life coach for perfectionists—which she says is the biggest thing she sees her singer clients struggle from. Nicole's journey is so inspiring and as someone with their own career pivot, made me feel so much less alone. She is truly brilliant and leaves us with so many gems in this episode. You don't want to miss this one. Stick around for part 2 of this episode next week!

Ep. 7 Anna riffs on how she used to only feel worthy if she was able to sing/belt the highest songs, ways this 'all or nothing' mindset deeply hurts our art, and how A LOT of context is missing from this conversation. If you studied voice in college + feel like your voice was better during that time...this ones for you. If you need a loving pep talk...this ones for you.
