      250 Yoga for All Musicians: Brianne Borden and Claire Howard on nervous system care, the power of community, and a more humane way to make music
      Feb 20 2026
      When the world feels heavy and your body is bracing, it is weirdly easy to start treating music like it has to justify itself. You practice anyway. You show up anyway. But inside, you are carrying pressure, tension, and that quiet question most musicians do not say out loud: how do I keep doing this without burning out or breaking down? In Episode 250, I sit down with Dr. Brianne Borden and Claire Howard, co-owners of Yoga for All Musicians, for a conversation that is equal parts grounding, honest, and immediately useful. · Why "just focus on the music" is not always possible, and what to do when the world follows you into the practice room · The simple check in skill most musicians never learn, and why it changes everything from practice choices to injury prevention · How classical music culture trains disconnection, and what trauma informed teaching and cueing can actually feel like · A reframing of expectations that sounds small, but hits hard once you try it in real life · A short centering plus neck and shoulder reset you can do before you play, especially if you live in jaw and shoulder tension If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!

    • 249 You're Not Behind. You're Overloaded. How Unrealistic Expectations Hijack Your Brain and What to Do Instead

      249 You're Not Behind. You're Overloaded. How Unrealistic Expectations Hijack Your Brain and What to Do Instead
      Feb 13 2026

      In this episode, we unpack how unrealistic expectations quietly overload your brain, tighten your body, and slow your progress. And more importantly, how to reset them so they actually work for you.

      You'll learn:

      • Why high standards are not the problem but misaligned expectations are
      • How pressure and perfectionism interfere with learning
      • A simple expectation audit you can use before practice or performance
      • How to shift from "I should" to "What can I do today?"
      • A powerful on stage reframe that turns anxiety into expression

      If you've been pushing hard but not feeling better, this one will help you breathe, refocus, and move forward with clarity.

      If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk! Book a free discovery call and let's create a plan to get you there.

    • 248 Bill Denton: Forget the Timeline - The Path Is Yours to Build - What Every Musician Needs to Hear About Age, Timing, and the Long Game

      248 Bill Denton: Forget the Timeline - The Path Is Yours to Build - What Every Musician Needs to Hear About Age, Timing, and the Long Game
      Feb 6 2026

      What if your path takes longer than you thought it would?
      What if you don't win the job straight out of school. Or even straight out of your twenties?
      And what if that's not failure, but just a different kind of success?

      In this episode, I sit down with Bill Denton, Principal Trumpet of the Lyric Opera of Chicago, to talk about what it really means to stay in the game. Bill won his job at 50. Before that? He taught high school band, drove to gigs, kept showing up, and stayed connected to his playing through real life, not a perfect timeline.

      This conversation is for anyone who's ever wondered:

      · Am I too late?

      · Is it still worth it?

      · What if my career doesn't look like theirs?

      Tune in to hear what long-term commitment really looks like, how to stay ready without burning out, and why your timeline doesn't have to match anyone else's.

      Whether you're navigating auditions, comparison, or just the quiet pressure of being "on time," this one's for you.
