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.
