This week on Music Is My Mantra, I’m talking about saying yes—even when it feels awkward. Recorded right from my car (because life is busy!), this solo episode is all about how showing up, even solo, leads to genuine connection and surprising opportunities.

From running into friends at local shows to landing three gigs in 24 hours without sending a single cold email—this one’s proof that community and play open doors you didn’t even know were there.

If you’ve ever hesitated to go to something alone, felt stuck in the “no’s,” or wanted to invite more magic into your creative life—this one’s for you. 💫

✨ Episode Highlights

🔹 Embracing the awkward phase of going solo

🔹 How unplanned meetups lead to real connections

🔹 Networking without the icky hustle

🔹 Discipline, discomfort, and the payoff of showing up

🔹 Stories of gigs booked simply by being there

💡 Takeaways

🌱 Get out of your comfort zone—your future friends (and gigs) are waiting

🎶 Say yes, show up, and let the universe handle the rest

👋 Build your community one conversation at a time
