*** TOP 5% GLOBAL PODCAST ***

Have you ever felt a song stirring inside you — but you’re not sure how to bring it to life?

Do you dream of writing and singing your own music, but find yourself held back by doubt, perfectionism, or the fear that you’re “not good enough”?

Maybe you’ve spent years studying, performing, or people-pleasing with your voice… or maybe you’ve never let yourself believe you could be a singer or a songwriter.

And all the tutorials, drills, and music theory lessons? They just make the process feel more complicated — and less creative.

If you’re ready to quiet the noise and reconnect with the song in your heart, I’m so glad you’re here.

This podcast will help aspiring singer-songwriters like you:

🎵 find your authentic voice and unique sound
🎵 write and sing your own songs — even if you don’t know where to begin
🎵 simplify the creative process from inspiration to finished song
🎵 build confidence to share your music with the world

Whether you dream of performing on stage, recording an album, or simply creating music that feels like you, this podcast will meet you where you are — and guide you toward becoming the artist you’re meant to be.

Hey, I’m Lainey — former opera singer turned singer-songwriter and voice & creativity coach.

This podcast was born from a time in my life when I had worked so hard to mold my voice into what I thought it was supposed to be that I lost my way as an artist… and stopped singing altogether.

After years of trying to perfect my sound, I realized I didn’t want to perform other people’s music anymore. I wanted to sing my own. So I started writing songs — raw, imperfect, honest songs — and rediscovered the joy of creative freedom. Now, I help other aspiring singer-songwriters do the same.

If you’re ready to:

✨ reconnect with your voice through creative, holistic practices
✨ learn simple, soulful ways to write your own songs
✨ let go of judgment and rediscover your love of singing

Grab your notebook, pour a cup of tea, and let’s uncover the songs that have been waiting inside you.

Let’s find your voice!

    94 | You Don't Have to Feel Ready: Begin Where You Are as a Singer Songwriter
    Feb 17 2026

    You think you need more confidence. More training. More certainty.

    But what if beginning is what creates those things?

    In You Don’t Have to Feel Ready: Begin Where You Are as a Singer-Songwriter, I’m sharing honest stories from my own path — recording before I felt prepared, stepping into rooms that scared me, saying yes before I knew how.

    We’ll talk about why waiting keeps artists stuck, how readiness is built through action, and gentle ways to start singing and writing songs from exactly where you are today.

    If perfectionism or self-doubt has been keeping you on the sidelines, this episode will help you move.

    And if you’re craving support, my free live songwriting workshop is happening today. Come begin with us.

  • 93 | Why Singing Feels Vulnerable (and How to Build Confidence in Your Voice)

    93 | Why Singing Feels Vulnerable (and How to Build Confidence in Your Voice)
    Feb 10 2026

    Singing can feel incredibly vulnerable.

    Your voice isn’t just an instrument — it’s part of your body, your history, and your identity. So when you share it, of course you can feel exposed.

    In this episode, we explore why singers and songwriters struggle with fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism, especially after criticism or difficult experiences.

    And we talk about how confidence is really built:

    not by pushing or pretending you’re fearless, but through small, safe moments of letting yourself be heard.

    You’ll learn practical, compassionate ways to rebuild trust in your voice, expand your comfort zone, and return to singing from a place of authenticity and creative flow.

    If you’ve loved singing but felt afraid to share your voice, this episode will help you find your way back.

  • 92 | When We Pull Away From Our Creativity – and How to Return to Making Music

    92 | When We Pull Away From Our Creativity – and How to Return to Making Music
    Feb 3 2026

    Have you ever noticed yourself pulling away from your creativity — even though making music is something you love?

    In this episode, we explore why singers and songwriters disconnect from their creativity, voice, or songwriting practice — and why this distance is often a form of self-protection, not failure.

    We’ll talk about the vulnerability of making music, the pressure to “do it right,” and the quiet ways perfectionism, overwhelm, or life changes can cause us to step back from our creative selves.

    Most importantly, I’ll share gentle, grounded ways to return to making music without forcing inspiration or waiting to feel confident first. This isn’t about discipline or fixing yourself — it’s about rebuilding trust with your voice and your creativity.

    If you’re a singer-songwriter who’s been feeling disconnected, stuck, or unsure how to begin again, this episode is for you.
