Life on tour isn’t just about what happens under the spotlight — it’s about how you take care of yourself in between shows. In this episode of The Artist Behind the Art, I’m sharing what it really takes to set yourself up for a long-term contract that feels sustainable, rewarding, and unforgettable.
We’ll dive into:
· 🥗 Fueling like an athlete — how to think ahead with nutrition, supplements, and fueling strategies so you can stay strong and consistent on stage.
· 🏋️ Training with purpose — why your growth doesn’t have to stall on tour, and how to use limited time and space to maintain skills, build strength, and prepare for future opportunities.
· 🌙 Thriving in downtime — how to plan hobbies, learning opportunities, and personal anchors so your off-hours feel restorative, not empty.
· 🔄 Weekly resets — a simple check-in ritual to help you adapt, adjust, and finish your contract strong.
Whether this is your first tour or your tenth, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to create a rhythm that keeps you healthy, grounded, and thriving both on and off the stage.
