What if the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for doesn’t come from more scales or longer practice sessions—but from tuning into your own voice?

In this powerful solo episode, Heidi unpacks a storytelling method that’s been quietly transforming the Flute 360 community. Inspired by the most recent Accelerator session, she shares her personal journey from stage fright to artistic freedom—and how podcasting (yes, podcasting!) helped unlock her truest sound.

If performance anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt have been holding you back, this conversation is your invitation to reconnect with the artist within. Because the flute isn’t your primary instrument—you are.

Whether you’re preparing for NFA, a fall recital, or just longing for joy in your music-making again, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Main Points:

  • Why performance anxiety is often a voice issue—not a technical one
  • How storytelling can reignite your confidence and artistic intention
  • Heidi’s journey from checklist perfectionism to expressive freedom
  • The surprising connection between podcasting and flute performance
  • What it means to be faithful in your artistry—not flawless
  • Why the flute is an amplifier—not the source—of your musical voice
