Our Guest - Jessica (Lane) Bassmahon
We are joined by Jessica (Lane) Bassmahon on this episode! Jessica is an internationally-renowned, award-winning operatic soprano with 15 years of instructional experience, and is currently pursuing her second Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. Full disclosure: I have also been a voice student of Jessica’s for over 10 years!
Shifting Identities and Goals
In this episode, we explore how our winding journeys led us to where we are today. We draw parallels between the voice and identity, that our identities shift over time, our goals shift over time, and the importance of taking care of ourselves throughout our journeys (much like a singer or performer takes care of their voice). So much of Jessica’s work and our work at Apply Yourself are in alignment, so join us in this episode to learn more!
Listen to this episode to learn more about:
- Jessica personal, academic, and professional journeys, and how voice shapes identity and shifts it over time,
- The identity shift Jessica experienced going from performer to psychotherapist,
- It’s perfectly okay to love more than one thing and to do more than one thing – your experiences inform one another, and
- The importance of healthily processing our experiences to help us and others grow, and to use our experiences for positive change and advancement.
