    Episode 334: The Missing Piece in Your Practice Routine—Your Voice
    Jul 29 2025

    Flute 360 | Episode 334: The Missing Piece in Your Practice Routine–Your Voice

    What if the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for doesn’t come from more scales or longer practice sessions—but from tuning into your own voice?

    In this powerful solo episode, Heidi unpacks a storytelling method that’s been quietly transforming the Flute 360 community. Inspired by the most recent Accelerator session, she shares her personal journey from stage fright to artistic freedom—and how podcasting (yes, podcasting!) helped unlock her truest sound.

    If performance anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt have been holding you back, this conversation is your invitation to reconnect with the artist within. Because the flute isn’t your primary instrument—you are.

    Whether you're preparing for NFA, a fall recital, or just longing for joy in your music-making again, this episode will meet you right where you are.

    Main Points:

    • Why performance anxiety is often a voice issue—not a technical one
    • How storytelling can reignite your confidence and artistic intention
    • Heidi’s journey from checklist perfectionism to expressive freedom
    • The surprising connection between podcasting and flute performance
    • What it means to be faithful in your artistry—not flawless
    • Why the flute is an amplifier—not the source—of your musical voice

    Episode 333: Silence, Resistance, and Showing Up Anyway
    Jul 22 2025

    Flute 360 | Episode 333: “Silence, Resistance & Showing Up Anyway”

    In this solo episode of the Flute 360 podcast, Dr. Heidi Kay Begay opens up about a quiet but powerful force many musicians face: resistance. Whether you're a flutist, music educator, or multi-passionate creative, this conversation invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and name what’s keeping you from your next breakthrough.

    Heidi shares reflections on her own creative process, including the internal blocks that surfaced while writing her upcoming book on holistic healing for musicians. Through stories from her coaching work with professional flutists, she reveals how even the most accomplished artists wrestle with fear, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism—especially when launching a new project.

    You’ll also hear about how silence and intentional listening can be a transformative practice in your personal, professional, and musical life. From overcoming performance anxiety to reconnecting with your artistic calling, this episode provides encouragement and practical insight for flutists navigating resistance in all its forms.

    Thank you for listening to Flute 360—the podcast where flutists rediscover their voice, their joy, and their God-given calling.

    • You’re feeling stuck in your flute career or unsure of your next step.
    • You’re navigating burnout, doubt, or creative blocks as a musician.
