From Fear to Fearless (Sometimes): How I Stopped Second-Guessing My Voice and Built a Thriving Singing Career

mindset for healing overcoming fear performance anxiety personal story Feb 06, 2025
 

For years, I let fear run the show.

I dreamed of being a singer, but self-doubt whispered: “You’re not good enough.” So instead of chasing my passion, I pursued “safe” careers. I worked in corporate, moved overseas, became a high school music teacher—always searching for something that made me feel whole.

But no matter how far I ran, music kept calling me back. 

Seven years ago, I finally stopped second-guessing myself. I made the terrifying—but exhilarating—decision to quit my teaching job, step onto the stage, and own my voice. Since then, I’ve:

🎤 Performed internationally as a soul jazz singer 
🎭 Starred in a sold-out QPAC production in 2025 
💡 Created Fearless Singer Membership, where I’ve helped over 500 singers break through fear and build unshakable vocal confidence

But here’s the thing—I didn’t wake up fearless one day. 

Even now, fear still shows up (sometimes). The difference? I don’t let it stop me anymore.

Why Singing Feels So Damn Scary (And Why You Should Do It Anyway) 

Singing isn’t just about hitting the right notes—it’s about being seen, being heard, and showing up as your true self. And that? That’s terrifying. 

If you’ve ever felt:

❌ Afraid of judgment when you sing

❌ Stuck in self-doubt, wondering if you’re “good enough”

❌ Like you’re waiting for permission to step into your music dreams

Trust me—I’ve been there. And so have hundreds of singers I’ve coached. 

The good news? Fear doesn’t have to disappear for you to succeed. You just need to learn how to move with it instead of against it.

How to Break Through Fear (Even When It Still Shows Up) 

1. Shift Your Mindset: Fear Isn’t the Enemy 

Instead of seeing fear as a roadblock, reframe it as a sign you’re growing. Every professional singer you admire has faced self-doubt—they just learned how to move through it.

Fearless doesn’t mean never feeling fear—it means feeling the fear and doing it anyway. 

2. Build a Consistent Vocal & Mindset Practice 

Confidence isn’t something you magically wake up with—it’s a muscle you build. That’s why inside Fearless Singer Membership, we work on both vocal technique AND mindset so you can trust your voice and sing with freedom.

3. Find a Community That Lifts You Up 

Singing is vulnerable, and trying to do it alone makes it even harder. When you’re surrounded by people who get it, you feel safe to take risks, grow, and step into your power.
