'Outsourcing' our voice.

A single offhand line in a hotel café, (“Get someone else to sing it”) can crack open a much bigger question: who gets to decide whether our voice belongs? This personal anecdote dives into my experience of being pushed into a category, and the deeper truth that creativity isn’t just craft or market fit. It’s intimacy, consent, and identity.    Read the blog post [https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/blog/outsourcing-our-voice]   Download the album I'm talking about.  [https://mg.everynowheremusic.com/album/181176/buec-bideshi-uebersetzungs-collective]   Explore coaching + courses for independent creatives:   holisticmusicianacademy.com [https://www.tapasyaloading.com/why-artists-stay-in-unstable-systems-even-when-it-hurts/]   Music and Audio Production: www.everynowheremusic.com [http://www.everynowheremusic.com/]   Episode Notes / Text : www.tlwrites.com [http://www.tlwrites.com/]

Performing vs Being Performative

What if the biggest challenge for us isn’t learning how to perform well, but discerning true expression from a hunger for approval?    Read the full blog post: https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/blog/performing-versus-being-performative   Explore coaching + courses for independent creatives:   holisticmusicianacademy.com [https://www.tapasyaloading.com/why-artists-stay-in-unstable-systems-even-when-it-hurts/] ––– Work with me:   → C.I.A.R. self-paced course: https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/ciar  [https://www.tapasyaloading.com/why-artists-stay-in-unstable-systems-even-when-it-hurts/]  → HMA group coaching & 1:1 mentorships https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/coaching [https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/coaching]   Music and Audio Production: www.everynowheremusic.com [http://www.everynowheremusic.com/] Episode Notes / Text : www.tlwrites.com [http://www.tlwrites.com/]

Identity: First Step Last — Live Q&A @ Pianist Academy

This episode is a live Q&A session from my Workshop 'Identity: First Step Last', delivered at the Pianist Academy, founded by award-winning pianist Charles Szczepanek. Although the workshop was conducted for pianists, the conversation quickly moves beyond music into larger questions of authorship, vocation, and identity: who we believe ourselves to be, how that belief shapes our lives, and what shifts when we begin to treat life itself as a work of art rather than a moving part within an industrial machine.   Waiting list for the next workshop.  https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/identity-workshop [https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/identity-workshop]   Explore coaching + courses for independent creatives:   holisticmusicianacademy.com [https://www.tapasyaloading.com/why-artists-stay-in-unstable-systems-even-when-it-hurts/] ––– Work with me:   → C.I.A.R. self-paced course: https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/ciar  [https://www.tapasyaloading.com/why-artists-stay-in-unstable-systems-even-when-it-hurts/]  → HMA group coaching & 1:1 mentorships https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/coaching [https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/coaching]   Music and Audio Production: www.everynowheremusic.com [http://www.everynowheremusic.com/] Episode Notes / Text : www.tlwrites.com [http://www.tlwrites.com/]

Exhaustion vs Burnout: (Why They’re Not the Same Thing)

Is Your Tiredness Actually Burnout? The Distinction That Could Change Everything   Feeling exhausted while simultaneously experiencing some of your most creative and meaningful work might seem like a paradox—but it's far more common (and far less alarming) than you think. While exhaustion and burnout are often collapsed into the same conclusion, they are fundamentally different states that demand entirely different responses.    Read the full blog post (with academic references):   https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/blog/burnout-vs-exhaustion [https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/blog/burnout-vs-exhaustion]   Explore coaching + courses for independent creatives:   holisticmusicianacademy.com [https://www.tapasyaloading.com/why-artists-stay-in-unstable-systems-even-when-it-hurts/] ––– Work with me:   → C.I.A.R. self-paced course: https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/ciar  [https://www.tapasyaloading.com/why-artists-stay-in-unstable-systems-even-when-it-hurts/]  → HMA group coaching & 1:1 mentorships https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/coaching [https://holisticmusicianacademy.com/page/coaching]

Freedom, Love and Identity w/ Peter Crone

For over twenty years, Peter Crone (‘’The Mind Architect’’, ‘’Human Ayahuasca’’), has worked with some of the world’s most elite athletes, CEOs, artists, and Hollywood icons, helping them dissolve the mental constructs that create limitation and suffering.  His approach doesn't attempt to offer behavioural fixes or quick-fix strategies, but goes where generic self-help tends to tiptoe around: dismantling the core beliefs underneath accepted constraints in the first place.  Recorded with a live online audience, we talk about the three topics Peter’s work touches upon with a clarity and perspective that continues to win hearts all around the planet: freedom, love, and identity.    Connect with Peter Crone: https://www.petercrone.com/ [https://www.petercrone.com/] Connect with T.L.
