    The Freelance Musician Dilemma Explained (and its SOLUTION!) with Tenor Joshua Owen Mills

    APOLOGIES to my audio podcast friends! for some reason, last week's episode did not publish on the audio platforms! Social media can really bring people together! Today I share my conversation with Welsh tenor Joshua Owen Mills, whom I met through Instagram! He shares his experience as a freelance opera singer, and how a devastating illness taught him one thing: financial preparednessFreelancers often do not get the benefit of insurance, or of sick leave. What you make is what you get, and if you don't gig, you don't eat!So what do we do when an injury or illness sidelines us? Joshua shares some strategies to help you prepare for that inevitable rainy day.Because here's the thing: at the end of the day, you need to be able to make objective decisions about your health. Too many musicians put off taking care of their health because of financial pressures. Joshua and I agree: we may not have ALL the answersBut we hope that our conversation today helps you to take steps to put your health needs first through financial preparedness!

    You NEED a HERO!

    "I’m holding on for a hero ‘til the end of the night..." Just kidding (Go check out Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler for THAT song) Today I share a framework that has been absolutely instrumental (no pun intended) in my own recovery journey Ever notice how Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, and Bilbo Baggins all seem to have the same story arc? Something difficult happens, a mentor shows up, a journey is taken to slay the dragon, as it were... Well, the same can be said for you who are going through an injury I share this framework with my 1-1 clients, and wanted to share it with you! We talk about how you can CHOOSE to embark on this journey that starts with a difficult injury, and can end with you becoming someone you only could dream of before. But it all starts with that first decision to EMBARK on this hero's journey! If you are a musician or music educator, this episode could change the trajectory of your life!
