Episode 340: More Energy, Less Burnout - Stop Fighting Your Body and Start Thriving

Flute 360 | Episode 340: “More Energy, Less Burnout – Stop Fighting Your Body and Start Thriving”

Are you tired of feeling like your body is working against you instead of for you? Maybe you can’t play your flute without pain, you’re dragging yourself to rehearsals, or you’re exhausted from migraines, PMS symptoms, and sleepless nights. Friend, I’ve been there.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my own health journey—how God placed the right people and resources in my path to help me heal from the inside out. From carpal tunnel during my DMA studies to living with endometriosis pain, I know what it’s like to feel broken down and burned out. But I also know the freedom of finding whole-body support through food, faith, and holistic practices.

This episode will give you hope and tangible next steps to start nourishing your first instrument—your body—so you can show up fully in the practice room, classroom, and on stage.

Main Points:

• Why your body is your primary instrument (your flute is secondary!)
• Common musician struggles: brain fog, fatigue, migraines, PMS, and chronic pain
• My testimony of how God led me to holistic healing practices
• Simple nutrition swaps and lifestyle shifts that improved my energy, mood, and artistry
• Encouragement to become your own best health advocate
