Empowering Your Creative Flow and Inspired Living
Welcome to Your Creative Chord Podcast, where we explore creativity, personal growth, and purposeful living. I’m your host, Jenny Leigh Hodgins—author, poet, pianist, composer, and creative empowerment coach. I’m here to guide us as we tap into our creative flow and navigate life with more inspiration and resilience.
This podcast is for creators, artists, musicians, caregivers, and anyone looking to reconnect with their creative side. Together, we’ll explore practical tips, thoughtful strategies, and heartfelt encouragement to break through obstacles, uncover our true potential, and live with intention.
Drawing from my own experiences as a musician, teacher, poet, author, and my SGI Buddhist practice, I’ll guide us through the ups and downs of creativity and self-expression. From overcoming creative blocks and performance anxiety to building sustainable creative habits, each episode is designed to help us move forward with clarity and confidence.
If you’re ready to reignite your creativity and live with more purpose, you’re in the right place.

Transforming Musical Challenges into Strengths Ep 53
In this episode, we explore how the concepts from my new book, Start Piano: What You Need for Successful Learning, help us turn our musical challenges into strengths. I'll share book excerpts from the section 'How My Musical Challenges Became My Source of Musical Progress,' discussing how my personal struggles with music theory, repertoire, piano technique, and performance skills deepened my empathy for others and my understanding of piano learners' motivation to succeed.
I'll recount my journey through learning gaps, performance anxiety, and classical music elitism, which fueled my self-determination and lifelong learning philosophy. These challenges led to growing confidence and success as a piano player, composer, and educator.
In 'How Having Music Credentials Affects Your Piano Progress,' I share insights on what truly matters in piano study: a genuine connection with music, a solid foundation, and effective tools. I've discovered that a strong foundation is the key to overcoming struggles and gaining momentum in piano progress.
Personally, I've used and shared these strategies with thousands of students, helping them build a solid piano foundation, maintain progress momentum, and transform performance anxiety into successful energy.
Many aspiring piano players face recurring issues due to a lack of foundational knowledge. I'll highlight that my book includes effective practice methods and confident performance strategies designed to help you avoid these pitfalls.
Join me to learn more about creating a heartfelt environment where you feel confident in your musicality and self-expression. Want to achieve consistent, long-lasting progress and tap into your confidence for a flourishing start to piano playing and continuous advancement?
Tune in to discover the keys to unlocking your musical potential.
