## Resource

Have you ever noticed yourself pulling away from your creativity — even though making music is something you love? In this episode, we explore why singers and songwriters disconnect from their creativity, voice, or songwriting practice — and why this distance is often a form of self-protection, not failure. We’ll talk about the vulnerability of making music, the pressure to “do it right,” and the quiet ways perfectionism, overwhelm, or life changes can cause us to step back from our creative selves. Most importantly, I’ll share gentle, grounded ways to return to making music without forcing inspiration or waiting to feel confident first. This isn’t about discipline or fixing yourself — it’s about rebuilding trust with your voice and your creativity. If you’re a singer-songwriter who’s been feeling disconnected, stuck, or unsure how to begin again, this episode is for you. <3 Lainey P.S.
