Reawaken Your Voice | Singing, Creativity, Healing, Songwriting, Voice Coaching
***Holistic Voice Coaching & Creative Mentorship for Female Singers*** Have you drifted away from singing, but lately, it’s been calling you back? Did something shake your confidence and you’re trying to work up the courage to sing in front of people again? Have you always felt a deep desire inside of you to sing - and it’s getting harder to ignore? Are you longing to be seen and heard, but find yourself holding back and hiding instead? Do you wish you could reconnect with that part of you that feels alive when singing? Hey, I’m Lainey ~ Holistic Voice Coach, Creative Mentor, Singer & Songwriter. Reawaken Your Voice was born from a very dark time in my life when I stopped singing. I remember feeling like I lost a part of myself that I could never get back. It was so painful to know that I had music inside of me but I was holding it all in, frozen in silence. But as a fellow singer & friend who has weathered the storm, I want you to know ~ you can sing again. My mission is to guide you back home to yourself by transforming your relationship with your voice, reminding you of the song that is yours alone to sing, and inspiring you to breathe life back into it. If you’re ready to reawaken the dormant part of you that once loved to sing and is aching for a revival, then welcome home ~ this show is a gift from my heart to yours. In this podcast, you’ll receive loving, nurturing support to heal from past singing experiences, release the inner critic, and let go of limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in perfectionism, procrastination, imposter syndrome, and analysis paralysis ~ so you can rewrite your singing story once and for all. I’ll teach you how to create a personal singing practice with nourishing, playful, inspiring vocal warm-up exercises that re-ignite your creative spark, open your voice, uncover your unique sound, and develop the full range and potential of your God-given instrument. You’ll learn to embody confidence as you find the courage to share your voice and put yourself out there in a way that feels authentic and aligned with who you are becoming as an artist, singer, musician, and performer. Take my hand and I’ll show you the way out of your head and back to the song in your heart. If you’re ready to reconnect with your creative spirit, revive your singing practice, and share the music inside of you, then join me inside to Reawaken Your Voice. Dust off your songbooks, tune up your guitar, bust out your singing bowls, your shakers, your drum, have a seat at the piano bench ~ actually, all you really need is your voice, your breath, open ears and an open heart.

When did you stop singing?
What was it that caused you to shut down your voice?
And when did you notice that desire return?
When did you realize it wasn’t going anywhere and all you could do was surrender to it?
This episode goes out to the wounded singer ~ the woman who shut down her voice somewhere along the way and stopped singing. The woman who denied herself the permission to follow her passion and sing. The woman who once sang freely with joy and ease, but then life happened…
Today I’m sharing a practical and powerful writing exercise to help you reclaim your voice and heal from the past so you can move forward and begin again with a new perspective of your singing voice and yourself as an artist.
Your voice is not lost.
Here’s to a new beginning.

Have you found yourself facing a really harsh inner critic anytime you listen back to a recording of yourself singing?
Or holding back your full sound because you’re too worried about what it sounds like? Maybe you’re unsure of what it’s even supposed to sound like…
In today’s episode, I talk about what to do instead of the worry and the self-judgment, both when you are actively singing and when you are listening back to a recording of yourself singing.
So join me inside to release the inner critic and move past this roadblock that is keeping you from finding freedom and flow in singing.

Finding your voice is a journey ~ whether we’re talking about your singing voice or your authentic self-expression as a whole.
As you set out to explore and discover the truth about who you are, how you were designed, what makes you unique, what makes you just as human as the rest of us, and how you’re called to use your voice in the world, you will inevitably be asked to step outside of your comfort zone and face the unknown.
In today’s episode, we’re discussing this step, taking the risk to travel beyond what is known and opening up to what isn’t. Finding your voice. Finding the courage to step outside of your comfort zone and into the unknown. And how this applies to your singing practice.
Because there is this beautiful phenomenon that occurs when seeking to find your singing voice ~ you actually find so much more.

Hey Friend,
Do you have a creative passion project? You know... the one that’s been sitting on the back burner, collecting dust, waiting for the right time to begin again? The one that’s been on your heart for quite some time now, but you keep pushing it aside for someday? Yeah, that one… I know because I have one, too!
Well, what would it be like to take it off the back burner and bring it into focus, into the foreground, and simply begin? Or begin again? Or just to get moving in that direction, gain some momentum, breathe new life into your sails?
If there has been something on your heart that you’re wanting to create, my hope is that today’s episode will serve as a catalyst for you to get moving again. I pray that it will leave you with the inspiration you need to take that creative passion project of yours off the back burner so you can begin again with a renewed sense of vision, clarity, and strategy to make it happen.

Hey Friend!
In the moments leading up to sharing your voice and singing for people, there can be a lot of noise going through your mind as the butterflies take over and the nerves set in. It’s almost enough to keep you from doing it at all ~ if you let it. But if you can move past that fear and sing through it, you’ll rediscover your love of singing and find the joy in doing what you love, sharing your gift with others, and expressing your heart through your voice.
That’s why I’m sharing my personal grounding practice in today’s podcast episode ~ it’s a simple process to move through those anxious thoughts and the sensations they create in the body before stepping on stage and opening your mouth to sing. I’ll walk you through 6 steps, from backstage, through walking on stage, and into those first few notes and beyond. Because the truth is ~ once you get up there, and get into the zone, and really let go… there is nothing like the feeling of singing your heart out!
So whether you dream of performing live on a big stage or you just want to record a new song to share online, this grounding practice will help you calm your nerves and find that inner sense of peace before opening your heart, opening your mouth, and sharing your voice ~ in whatever form that takes (virtual / live / recorded, etc.).
I pray this blesses you!

Hey Friend!
As much as we would love to live in a state of constant creative flow, the reality is that we can often lose touch with our inspiration. We can easily find ourselves distracted, stagnant, losing sight of why we started something in the first place, stuck in a rut of apathy or boredom.
If you’ve been feeling like your creative flame has dimmed, or you’re hitting your head against a wall anytime you go to sing and make music and create, perhaps you’re in need of a little creative revitalization.
In today’s episode, I’ll share 10 of my favorite ways to rekindle that creative spark and get back into flow whenever you feel that passion start to fade. Take what works for you, add it to your artist’s toolkit for moments when you need a little boost, and before you know it, you’ll find yourself back on track to creating the art that is yours alone to create.

Do you sometimes question whether or not you can call yourself a singer?
No matter your level of experience or musical background, this question may rise up in you along the vocal journey, whether you’re just embarking on this new adventure or coming back to your voice after many years of distance. When you’re going through a creative dry spell, or a period of not performing, or if you have the desire to sing but have yet to allow yourself to pursue that dream, this “imposter syndrome” can be so debilitating.
In today’s episode, we’re going deeper into artist identity and the importance of nurturing your desire to sing so that you can get beyond the mind games of the inner critic and start moving towards the desires of your heart. I’ll share with you 3 steps to work through this question of identity and embrace the artist within ~ the part of you that is longing to sing and create something meaningful.
See you inside!

Hey there, Friend!
In today’s episode, I guide you through a step-by-step creative exercise to help you heal your relationship with your singing voice.
If you’re struggling with a harsh inner critic or suffering from a painful memory that makes you want to curl into a ball and hide away in a cave rather than sharing your voice, the expressive arts can be a powerful tool to move through it and beyond it. By tapping into the natural healing power of your voice, your internal compass can lead you to heal the wounds from past experiences and release the self-criticism that may have caused you to stop singing, shut down your voice, or hold it all in.
In 5 steps, I’ll show you how to harness the power of your creativity to unearth and release the blockages that are keeping your voice locked up.
Let’s dive in!
