102. The long game: why you don't have to monetize your passion overnight with Kristen Toedtman

May 06, 2025 • Gina Casbarro

What if your voice held more power than you realized?

Not just in how you speak or sing, but what you manifest in your life?

In this episode, I’m joined by professional singer and teacher Kristin Toedtman for a soulful conversation about expression, alignment, and the long game of following what lights you up.

If you’ve been putting pressure on your dreams to pay the bills right away, or feeling like you need to rush your creative journey...

this episode is for you!

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT:

The ancient, communal roots of singing and how reclaiming your voice can be a radical act of healing and joy.
A fresh perspective on balancing your dreams with your day job—without losing momentum.
Living in integrity to your values and saying yes to what truly lights you up.
How the way you speak - and sing - could shape your reality more than you realize!
One simple vocal exercise to reconnect with your body, breath, and inner power.
