Today’s episode is the beginning of a new era for this show. I’m sharing the personal story behind my creative return: how I left the classical world, lost my voice for years, and slowly found my way back through songwriting — the practice that became my refuge, my bridge from silence to song, and the doorway back to my true artistry.

I’ll talk about the identity shift I resisted for so long — calling myself a songwriter — and how claiming that truth changed everything. And I’ll share why this podcast is rebranding to Singer Songwriter: to honor the work I’m here to do, and to better support the artists who feel the creative stirring to sing, write, and reclaim their voices again.

If you’re an aspiring singer-songwriter or a returning musician finding your way back, this episode is your invitation into a new season of your creative life. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Book a Coaching Session: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Join the Newsletter: reawakenyourvoice.com/insider Write Me: hello@reawakenyourvoice.com Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com
