This April, I’m celebrating my 40th birthday with a challenge—running a mile every day for 40 days to raise money for Music Minds Matter, a charity supporting the mental health of musicians and performers.

As both a singer and psychotherapist, I know firsthand how demanding the music industry can be. Performers give so much of themselves, yet many struggle with stress, anxiety, and burnout, often without the support they need. Music Minds Matter provides essential mental health resources, therapy, and crisis support to those in the industry who need it most.

I’ve just completed my first 10K race, and while it wasn’t easy (hello, unexpected hills!), it’s inspired me to keep moving. This challenge isn’t about speed or distance—it’s about showing up daily, building resilience, and advocating for better mental health support in the music world.

If you’d like to support me, every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Thank you for your support!
