This Unfolding Life

Stepping Into Your Creative Voice (with Singer-Songwriter & Artist Mentor Nicole Witt)

In this episode of This Unfolding Life, I sit down with Nicole Witt — Nashville singer-songwriter, performer, and artist mentor — who helped me shape the songs for my upcoming album.
We talk about how to step into your creative voice with courage, what it looks like to make art with fear, and how community and faith play into the creative process. Nicole shares her wisdom from over 20 years in Nashville as we explore how music, purpose, and healing intersect.
✨ Highlights include:
How we curated the seven songs that tell this album’s story
Nicole’s two key words to describe my music: Powerful and Dynamic
Why courage doesn’t mean the absence of fear
The value of community in creative work
How Kickstarter helps artists make projects that otherwise would be impossible
Encouragement for anyone reigniting a long-held dream
🎧 Listen if you’ve ever wondered how to begin again — or how to keep creating when you’re afraid.

Give 'Em All You Got: The Story Behind "Play it Like You"

In one of his last lucid moments, my dad whispered advice that has shaped the way I live and make music: “Give ’em all you got. Don’t hold back. Be stubborn. Be open-minded. You’re at your best when you play it like you.”
This episode of This Unfolding Life tells the story behind my song Play It Like You—a song written in the months after his passing. It’s about legacy, grief, and the freedom of becoming your truest self.
Along the way, I’ll share how this advice continues to guide me and invite you to reflect on the voices of wisdom in your own life.
