Flute 360 | Episode 333: “Silence, Resistance & Showing Up Anyway”
In this solo episode of the Flute 360 podcast, Dr. Heidi Kay Begay opens up about a quiet but powerful force many musicians face: resistance. Whether you're a flutist, music educator, or multi-passionate creative, this conversation invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and name what’s keeping you from your next breakthrough.
Heidi shares reflections on her own creative process, including the internal blocks that surfaced while writing her upcoming book on holistic healing for musicians. Through stories from her coaching work with professional flutists, she reveals how even the most accomplished artists wrestle with fear, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism—especially when launching a new project.
You’ll also hear about how silence and intentional listening can be a transformative practice in your personal, professional, and musical life. From overcoming performance anxiety to reconnecting with your artistic calling, this episode provides encouragement and practical insight for flutists navigating resistance in all its forms.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
