Singing Through The Trees
What do you reach for when fear shows up?
In Singing Through the Trees, I share a moment from a recent trip to Hawaii when stepping off a zipline platform brought more nerves than I expected — and an instinctive response I didn’t plan for.
I sang.
That moment sparked a reflection on how breath, rhythm, and voice steady us when things feel uncertain. Drawing from my experiences as a performer and teacher, this episode explores how music builds confidence, restores balance, and helps us move forward — even when the ground falls away.

What You’ll Take With You
In this episode, we explore how breath and voice regulate fear and calm the nervous system, and why singing can create confidence when the body feels out of control. Through stories drawn from teaching, performance, and endurance sports, we look at how storytelling builds connection and supports learning, especially in moments of stress or uncertainty. At its core, this episode is about releasing the urge to overthink and trusting yourself enough to take the next step forward.
