## Resource

How do you actually start a songwriting practice—especially if you’re feeling rusty, intimidated, or creatively blocked? In this episode, I’m sharing the gentle 3-step ritual I use myself—grounding, lyric freewriting, and melody improv—to help you quiet the noise, access creative flow, and hear your creative voice again. Whether you’re returning to music or just beginning to explore your voice, this practice gives you a soft place to start. These steps will help you slow down, listen inward, and make space for the song waiting to come through. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Book a Coaching Session: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Join the Newsletter: reawakenyourvoice.com/insider Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Me: hello@reawakenyourvoice.com
