Emily Jeanne Brown is on Shay & The Good People podcast today! The first time I met Emily was when she performed on S&TGP and I was really excited to get to know her more. Since this interview, we have become great friends. She really does it all, folks. She writes beautiful songs, has a voice that can charm the masses, has an MFA in acting, AND runs a consulting leadership business called OnVoice Coaching. As busy as she is, she made time to come into the studio with an aura of grace and groundedness that I wish I had! I highly recommend listening to her music after this episode.
In this ep, we talked about:
Emily’s background as a performer and how she got a guitar in her hand.
Emily and I don’t know anything about gear!
Psychology and identity as a singer.
Fearlessness and confidence at 14 years old vs. 30 years old.
Rick Rubin and The Creative Act - required reading for every human, but especially artists.
Self-forgiveness, self-compassion, inner child work, Oh my!!
How to stay in a creative flow.
Doing a lot of drugs and trying to be an artist seems like it would be really expensive.
Emily’s yearning to deepen her spiritual practice.
46:00 - I asked Emily about the songs from her S&TGP set.
I asked Emily to tell me her love story with her husband - it’s so beautiful!
How to create an energetic container to write more songs.
