Birdee learned by experience and brings that knowledge to help artists build their own careers, release music, and connect with other professionals who can help them uplevel their career.

It feels like there's always something taking our attention away from what we really want to be doing, but there's a way out! I was in the same boat as I'm sure many of you are - working a 9-5, working a side hustle, and trying to find time for myself.

Once I started prioritizing my daily and weekly tasks, utilizing project management tools, and scheduling my content, I found hours in my day that I use to connect with clients, create content, workout, and yes, even get a massage.

Meet Nashville based singer-songwriter Lauren Lucas.

She’s a Tony and ACM Award nominee whose humble beginnings in theater led her to a record deal as a teenager. Changes at her label led to the album being shelved, and since then she’s taken her career into her own hands. Lauren found freedom in being on her own, from the financial freedom of following the increasing singles only model to freedom of choosing her own sound on each track.

Listen in as we discuss how she started in music, how she’s adapted to the new music industry model, and what it’s like being a woman in the country music scene.

Her new single “Go Home Paul” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play, and other digital streaming platforms.

Have you ever lost your creativity without reason? Have you sat at a blank computer screen, not knowing what to write, to design, to record?

You’ve probably heard the term “burnout” in the news lately. It’s now an official syndrome per the World Health Organization, but while many of us probably imagine burnout as something physical, it can also be mental, or both.

In today’s episode, I talk about my own mental burnout, what fueled it, and how I pulled myself out and got my creativity and inspiration back. Listen in if you’re feeling burned out too, and maybe what worked for me might work for you.
