Singer Songwriter | How to Write a Song, Make Music, Song Lyrics, Music Theory, Singing Lessons
*** 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!

Hey Friend,
Some call it performance anxiety. Others call it stage fright. Whatever name you give it ~ it’s that feeling you get in your gut when you even think about singing in front of people. That feeling when your breath gets shallow, your palms get sweaty, your heart starts pounding, your body starts shaking uncontrollably and your throat closes up. I know it so well because I’ve been there! And I’m here to tell you ~ you can overcome this!
If you’re struggling with this fear of singing in front of others, but your heart is longing to sing, to perform, to share your voice with freedom and feeling, today’s episode is especially for you.
I’ll guide you through 4 steps to find your courage and build the confidence to sing in front of people so you can move beyond the fear and make your dream of singing a reality.
You can do this.

Hey Friend,
Today I’m talking about that uncomfortable, voiceless place we sometimes find ourselves in when we’re stuck between the old and the new.
What do you do when you find yourself feeling totally disconnected from things you created in the past, but a bit intimidated to tap into and create from where you are today?
What do you do when the old way of using your voice, the old music you used to make, the old songs you used to sing ~ just aren’t lighting you up the way they once did?
If you’re trying to navigate a new phase of your life and you’re wondering what that means for your art, or if you’re feeling a little lost in a season of change, today’s episode is for you!
I’ll walk you through 3 steps to navigate the “in-between” so you can release the old, embrace the current season you’re in, and ignite that spark of inspiration that will lead you into the next evolution of your creative journey!
See you there!
<3 Lainey

Hey there, Songbird!
Do you ever feel like you’ve forgotten why you started singing in the first place?
Like you’ve somehow drifted away from the heart of it all?
If you’ve found yourself caught up in your head about vocal technique and the inner critic has taken over, this episode is a must listen. Today I’m sharing with you one simple shift in how you think about “performing” that will help you realign with the true meaning of singing, making music, sharing your voice ~ so that singing can feel good again.
Let today’s conversation be a reminder of your “Why” and a permission slip to take the pressure off of yourself to be “perfect.” Because singing is about so much more than vocal technique and notes on a page.
It’s time to get back to the heart of it all!

Hey there Songbird!
Are you wondering if your creative work is ready to share?
How do you know if it’s finished?
Today we’re talking about the art of letting go… letting go of your creations, sharing your music, putting your songs out there, releasing your creative work into the world. And sometimes, this “letting go” means… putting a piece to rest and allowing it to remain unfinished.
I’ll take you through my process as I sort through old songs and discern whether to record them, release them, or leave them to remain unfinished (at least for now). I’ll share with you 5 questions to ask yourself that will help you determine if it’s time to let go ~ whatever that means to you in the case of your art ~ and if so, how to move forward so you can keep that creativity flowing.
Grab some tea, your journal, your favorite pens ~ and join me for a little heart to heart!

Hey Friend!
In this episode of Reawaken Your Voice, we’re talking about 3 things that are keeping you from sharing your voice. These are common pitfalls that I see over and over again in the artists I work with (and that I’ve experienced myself on my own vocal journey!). But I won’t leave you hanging ~ I’ll also be giving you a simple yet profound process that you can use to uncover and release the block that’s keeping you stuck so you can gain clarity on your next step forward toward your dreams. I pray this episode will help you to reclaim your voice and step into your next evolution as a singer, musician, and artist.
Because the world needs your voice ~ and so do you.
