This month, we had the immense pleasure of speaking with violinist and Alexander technique practitioner Jennifer Roig-Francoli.

Mariah Goulet is a musicians wellness advocate, saxophonist, writer, and so much more. We are beyond grateful she joined us to share her story of experiencing a career-ending injury as a musician. She was so open and candid with us about the trials of navigating a devastating injury in the music education environment. We spoke about how serious musicians' injuries put our identity into question, can put a strain on our mental and emotional health, and the severe lack of understanding and support in the music community. She shared her process through healing, the resources she found for herself, and where she is today! 

This episode is like a warm hug! In this episode, we interviewed pianist and music psychotherapist Renate Tsuyako Rohlfing. We were left with so many new insights into the power and potential of music; it inspired us to reflect on our history as musicians and preconceived notions and left us optimistic and excited about the future of music for the performer and receiver. 

Hello, 2024! We are easing into our resolutions this year, and so in this episode, we share the surprise gift we each got for Christmas, our process for yearly reflections, and a glimpse into our intentions for the year to come.
