Top surgery is a transformative and important procedure for transgender and nonbinary individuals seeking a more masculine (or less feminine) chest. While each person's journey is unique, some folks (like me!) opt not to keep their nipples during this process. Below, we're going to look at two co...

I had the privilege and pleasure of being on Allie Tyler's show, The Voicepreneur Podcast, a show created for voice teachers who want to grow their teaching business using marketing strategies, purpose-driven business tactics, and their intuition. We talked about: Transitioning from a perform...

I had top surgery six weeks ago. Here are three things that surprised me about top surgery recovery: 1. Better sleep after surgery than before I had a lot of friends who suffered from insomnia after surgery, but I have chronic pain. I've had chronic pain for 12 years or so and it is exasperated...

Today is April 1st and it's launch day for Masculinize Your Voice Without Testosterone, my latest full length course! I've had lots of people email and DM me to tell me how excited they were about this course, and how they haven't seen a resource like this before. I just wanted to take a moment t...
