Maybe you’ve been wanting to make progress with your voice… but what you’ve been trying isn’t really working.

I’m usually a big advocate for singing right where you are—around the house, in the car, while doing the dishes. That everyday singing really matters. But sometimes it helps to take just five focused minutes and work on something specific.

That small pocket of time can make a surprising difference.

In this episode, I’m sharing the simple warm-up I used recently when I sang at church after not singing for a while. I used this exercise during the week and right before worship band rehearsal.

The exercise is a series of gentle glides on “ee–oo.” It’s simple, gentle, and acts like a vocal reset. I’ve seen it help many reconnect with their voice when things feel stiff, tired, or uncertain.

If you only have five minutes to warm up, start here.

Blessings,

Hey Tired Mama,

Are you holding tension in your body today?

Do a quick body scan - where do you feel the most tense right now? Jaw? Neck? Shoulders? Belly? Hips?

So many of us are walking around gripping without even realizing it. And that tension doesn’t just affect how we feel—it shows up in our singing. A tight jaw. A locked belly. Raised shoulders. Suddenly your voice feels strained, tired, or stuck.

So where do you even begin to release?

In this episode, I’ll show you two simple starting points that will bring some instant relieve to your well-being and also help your singing.

First, the quick 2-second release I use all the time—yes, even while washing the dishes.

And then I’ll unpack what I focus on first when I have 5-10 minutes to stretch - the shoulders. This can have a positive domino effect of release through the whole body.

Happy releasing!

Blessings,

Sarah

Have you been wondering, Is something wrong with my voice?

Maybe singing feels harder than it used to. Maybe you’ve felt unsure. Fearful of damaging your voice. The fear that you don’t have what it takes to “get it back.”

Friend, what if your voice isn’t broken at all?
What if it’s just been carrying a lot?

Motherhood. Responsibility. Stress. Long seasons of serving your family, and perhaps feeling burnt out. Our voices mirrors, well… us! And sometimes what we call a “vocal problem” is really tension, pressure, or fears that need releasing.

So lets take a step back. Let’s reframe the story. Let’s ask a deeper question: What does God say about your voice? The truth is—you were designed to sing. And he created you with a voice. He loves and WANTS to hear you sing. And the best news is that where He calls you, He also equips you.

Friend, you are not “broken.” Your voice is not broken.

You’ve just been carrying a lot.

Let’s lay it down together. 🌟

Blessings,

Sarah 🌟
