I’ve talked to you about the most effective way to observe yourself as a singer and how to talk to yourself in the most effective way.

In this third and final blog in this series, I’m going to talk about the vulnerability cycle.

Others of you don’t know me at all. The work I do can seem a bit different and out there but there is a reason I do what I do, and a theory behind it all.
