Hilde Mosse comes from one of the wealthiest families in Berlin and stands to inherit an enormous fortune. But she longs for something more meaningful than the luxurious lifestyle her family provides. So Hilde decides to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. As the Nazis take power in Germany and the Mosse family is forced to flee, Dr. Hilde Mosse lands in New York having nearly lost everything.. She finds her calling treating the mental health of Black youth – and the symptoms of a racist system. In addition to photographs, school records, and correspondence spanning Hilde Mosse’s entire lifetime, the Mosse Family Collection in the LBI Archives includes the diaries she kept between 1928 and 1934, from the ages of 16-22. Hilde’s papers are just part of the extensive holdings related to the Mosse Family at LBI. Learn more at lbi.org/hilde .

This one goes out to all the singing mamas out there, the musical mamas to be, the singers who also aspire to be mothers one day. Can we just say… motherhood is hard! It is both the most difficult thing I’ve ever done AND the most rewarding. So what does all of this mean for your creative life, your music, your voice, your art? Today’s episode is more of a candid, open conversation in which I’ll share a bit of my story, but I also want to give you some ideas in terms of what has worked for me when it comes to balancing motherhood and artistry as a singer. I hope this episode will give you a dose of encouragement to keep singing through it all, and reassurance that you can do and be both. Though it may look different and require adaptation… though it may feel impossible to find the time and energy for singing and making music when you’ve been pouring everything you have into your children… you can be BOTH a mother AND an artist. <3 Lainey Related Episode: 11 | How to Make Time for Music When You Have No Time Next Steps: Work with Lainey: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Watch the Free Workshop: reawakenyourvoice.com/workshop Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Us: support@reawakenyourvoice.com…

If you’ve ever considered yourself to be a perfectionist, then today’s episode is for you. As a “recovering perfectionist” myself, who has learned to see the truth through the lies and who has found a way to deal with these tendencies when they inevitably creep in, I want to share with you some of the tools that have worked for me. Because if you allow perfectionism to take over and infiltrate your creativity, it can completely derail you as an artist. And it doesn’t have to be that way. You can create beautiful work without beating yourself up along the way. You can achieve greatness without the pressure of never feeling like it’s good enough. You can move beyond the paralysis of tearing yourself up throughout the creative process and back into playful, joyful creating while still making beautiful music. Here are 3 questions you can ask yourself to discern between the destructive energy of perfectionism and the constructive energy of reaching toward excellence so you can rediscover the joy in singing. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Work with Lainey: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Watch the Free Workshop: reawakenyourvoice.com/workshop Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Us: support@reawakenyourvoice.com…
Sharing your voice in the world requires vulnerability. Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Stepping into the unknown and allowing people to witness you in it . Being seen and heard in this way can bring up a lot of fear and insecurities when it comes to your singing voice and your creative expression as a whole. The good news is that when you practice doing this, it becomes familiar, it becomes known. Through practice, preparation and repetition, you begin to feel at home in your voice and on stage ~ whether it be a physical stage with spotlights and a live audience, or a metaphorical stage where you’re stepping in front of the microphone to record something you’ll share later, or in front of the camera in a virtual space… or even just opening your mouth to sing in a group of people sitting around a campfire. But how do you get to that place of being comfortable singing in front of people, opening your voice and sharing your heart so vulnerably? Well that’s what this week’s episode is all about. I want to share with you 5 tips to grow your confidence and expand your comfort zone so that you can overcome the fear of singing in front of people and confidently share your voice with others. And hey – You got this. I believe in you. It’s time for you to start believing in yourself. Here’s how. <3 Lainey Related Episodes Referenced: 7 | Fear of Singing in Front of Others? 4 Steps to Find Your Courage & Build the Confidence to Share Your Voice 14 | Calm Your Nerves Before Singing for Others with this Step-by-Step Grounding Practice 33 | Shut Down Your Voice?

There’s a seed within you that was planted long ago and is only awaiting your activation in order to crack open, rise up, reach for the light, open and blossom. And that seed is your desire to sing, to make music, to use your creativity and your voice as an instrument to express what’s in your heart. But it’s all too common to allow that seed to go dormant, burying it deep, fearful of what may happen if we begin to acknowledge it and water it and allow it to grow roots in us. I’ve heard from so many people just like you throughout the years who have expressed their sadness in realizing how much they have denied themselves permission to follow their passion and have suppressed their desire to sing. Today, I want to help you eliminate this denial and take that pivotal step of giving yourself the permission to sing. By making this simple yet essential decision to nurture your voice, you allow the natural growth process to unfold ~ so that you can move forward in giving that seed everything it needs to thrive. May this episode help your voice to grow and flourish with ease! <3 Lainey Mention: Who Sang the First Song?

Big creative dreams can sometimes feel out of reach… unrealistic even… and so we often stop ourselves before we start. Or we start and stop and start and stop as we cycle through overwhelm, fear, and doubt. But those dreams are planted inside of you for a reason ~ they are yours to nurture and cultivate and bring to life! That’s why I want to devote this episode to dispelling a few common blocks or limiting beliefs that too often keep gifted, passionate, creative women like you from really pursuing the dream to sing and make music and make a difference with your voice. By shining a light on the truth about each of these perceived obstacles, I hope to offer you encouragement and inspiration to say YES to the creative vision you see inside of you. It’s time to stop denying yourself the permission to follow your heart and pursue your passion for singing & making music, and to start living a life where your creativity gets to have a voice ~ fully expressed. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Watch the Free Workshop: reawakenyourvoice.com/workshop Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Us: support@reawakenyourvoice.com Work with Lainey: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching…
Often as we enter a new year, we’re thinking about what we want to create... what goals, dreams, and aspirations we want to focus on or work towards this year. There’s something about the calendar turning over that gets us dreaming again… But too often, these new creative projects and goals can be derailed by perfectionism. And so we stop before we even begin… or we start and then beat ourselves up for not being perfect from the get-go. That’s why it’s so important to approach these new beginnings with a healthy mindset ~ this is where the concept of the Beginner’s Mind comes into play… Is there something you want to start, or begin again, or learn anew, a new path, a pivot, a shift, a different way of doing things that is calling you, but you feel like you should be further along? Like you should know that by now? If you’re struggling to allow yourself to start messy, or want to learn something new, and do it with a fresh perspective, less pressure, more freedom ~ I have 5 tips to help you start with a Beginner’s Mind. This is the beginning of something beautiful. So just start. Meet yourself where you are and begin. Here are 5 tips to help you do just that. <3 Lainey P.S. I want to hear from you!

You’re in for a special treat today ~ a *mini reTREAT* for you and your creative spirit ~ to close out the year and step into a renewed vision for yourself as an artist in the new year. So set aside some time for yourself and your creativity (and if you need convincing that it’s not only okay, but essential to your well-being to devote time to nurturing your creativity, check out my previous episode 34 about releasing the guilt and embracing a little self-nourishment for the soul!). Gather your art supplies, your colorful pens, blank paper, paints and a blank canvas, collage materials, whatever your creative spirit is drawn to use ~ because we’re about to tap into our inner visual artist to connect with our inner voice! I’ll walk you through a 5-step process to “cultivate your creative garden” for the new year while allowing your intuition ~ your inner voice ~ to lead you deeper through visual art.

One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is time with your art to nurture your creativity. And yet, so many of us struggle to give ourselves that gift. We think it’s selfish. There’s always something else we think we should be doing instead… But if we want to live a creative life… to be the artist we were designed to be, to use the gifts we’ve been given to serve others, we must be willing to pour into ourselves, the same way we so willingly pour into others. So today’s episode is dedicated to the mission of encouraging you to release the guilt of setting aside time for your own creativity and to give yourself permission to receive that gift. I hope it will leave you feeling inspired to set aside some time during this very sacred season to nurture your creativity and spend some quality time with your art ~ your music, your voice, the song in your heart. And as we move into the new year, I pray this time will be fruitful for you and will yield a renewed vision for what you’d like to do with this beautiful gift of creativity that you have at your fingertips… on the tip of your tongue… just waiting to be given a voice. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Work with Lainey: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Watch the Free Workshop: reawakenyourvoice.com/workshop Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Us: support@reawakenyourvoice.com…
In this episode of Reawaken Your Voice , I’ll be walking you through a 3-step singing exercise that will help you not only open your singing voice, improve your tone quality, and create more resonance in your sound, but will also help you get more comfortable with being vulnerable… allowing yourself to be seen and heard ~ which is essential if you want to sing with feeling and share your voice with others. So yes, we’ll be touching on vocal technique and getting into some practical, actionable tools to bring into your next practice session, but it really goes so much deeper than that. This is a practice in awareness and a practice in vulnerability. Because as you open your singing voice, you’re opening your heart, and opening your capacity to share what’s inside with others. So if you feel like you’ve closed off your voice, or your sound feels trapped inside of you and you’re wanting to open it back up again, tune in for step-by-step guidance to do just that. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Book a Free Discovery Call: reawakenyourvoice.com/discovery Work with Lainey: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Watch the Free Workshop: reawakenyourvoice.com/workshop Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Us: support@reawakenyourvoice.com…
Aaaah, yes. The inner critic. The enemy of artists everywhere, throughout all of time. As singers, it can stop us in our tracks and leave us feeling like our voice isn’t worth listening to. So we shut it down, bury it in silence, and try to forget about our deep longing to sing. If we give it power and believe the lies it spews, we may even give up singing altogether. I know because I got really close to that, myself. I don’t want that for you. That’s why in today’s episode, I’m sharing with you 3 creative ways to release the inner critic ~ so you can find freedom from the negative self-talk as a singer and vocal artist… and keep singing that song in your heart. I pray this blesses you and helps you find relief from the noise.
