I’ve heard life is like a piano; the black keys represent the sad times and the white keys represent the happy times. Regardless of what sounds they make, you won’t be able to make music if you don’t know how to play! Welcome to the Between the Keys podcast, where I share stories, personal experiences, and life lessons that I’ve learned at and away from the piano that will help you master your life like a musician masters their instrument.
Why you should pursue your big, God-given dream and how to overcome the obstacles you will face.
Personal life updates + podcast updates + me being a genuine human being instead of reading from a script!
