The Belief I Carried Since High School

SHOW NOTES:I’m taking a small break from editing the Voice Liberation Method to share something I’ve never talked about publicly.It starts with a yearbook. My senior year of high school. A co-star who went on to star in Hamilton. And years of wondering why I couldn’t hack it.In this voice note, I share:* The math teacher who changed my life in 8th grade — and what I found when I looked him up decades later* The rabbit hole of scandals that unraveled at my performing arts high school* What it’s like to watch classmates become Broadway stars and TV actors while you’re still “just a music teacher.”* The belief system I carried for over 20 years — and the weekend I finally let it go* Why I launched The Healthy Voice the very next weekThis is the story behind the story. The thing I wasn’t sure I’d ever be comfortable sharing. But I think there’s something in here for you.📣 Less than a week left to get the Voice Liberation Method at 50% off → https://the-healthy-voice-community.circle.so/untitled-page-1🔓 Mastery flash sale ends Monday at midnight Pacific — founding member pricing, 5 spots only.
