We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Shaina Wexler. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Shaina below.

Hi Shaina, thanks for joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

You know, I feel so grateful when I hear this question, because a myriad of projects immediately spring to mind! What a gift! One of THE most meaningful and fulfilling projects I have worked on has definitely been my vocal coaching work, past and present, and I truly feel that this work is more important and meaningful than ever in today’s world!
For more than 16 years, I have had the joy of helping vocal coaching students around the globe to cultivate, grow, expand, and set their singing and speaking voices free!

Being a classically trained, professional singer and performing artist, most people initially come to me with very specific vocal goals in mind such as expanding their register, learning different vocal styles, transitioning their voice, or wanting to learn how to nail auditions and work through performance anxiety. With consistency and dedication, most often, we absolutely succeed in reaching the specific goals and dreams they had in mind: I have students who are now on Broadway, some who are touring musicians, some who are recording artist, many who have transitioned their voice, some in karaoke leagues, some in their school choir, and some who have just always been interested in developing and growing their voice to see what they are capable of!
But, the really awesome and thrilling thing is that, time and time again, we find that developing the voice ALWAYS ends up affording my students SO much more than what they initially came for. When they receive vocal coaching, they begin to learn how to take up space, they are able to uncover and address long held limiting beliefs around expressing themselves, they are able to unburden and trust their authentic voice. They learn that they are SO much more capable than they ever believed! What’s more, they also experience that implementing proper body mechanics for singing begins to heal ailments in their physical body, they find that consistent breathwork practices used to develop the proper musculature for healthy singing, also helps to ease and manage anxiety and fear. As their voice develops and grows, their sense of personal power grows along with it! More often than not, vocal coaching can be life changing!
Getting to participate in and facilitate this expansion with my students is a genuine honor, and I feel so grateful to do this work!
In these current times, it’s more important than ever that we step into our personal power and use our voices to be the voices of hope, joy, and change! While I believe that vocal coaching can deeply benefit nearly everyone, I truly encourage all women and all people in marginalized groups to be proactive about developing their voice!
I offer my lessons virtually, allowing me to coach people across all corners of the world, which means that, wherever this article finds its reader, they too will be able to work with me!

Shaina, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a singer/songwriter, a vocal coach, and I’m also an inspiration coach! I absolutely adore each facet of what I do and feel really passionately about what I am able to share and contribute with the world around me through my work! On the musical side of things, I write, compose, and produce songs that are a reflection of my unveiled heart and soul. Singing has long been my deepest and most precious expression of self, so, being able to extend and share that powerful expression with my vocal coaching clients is a real delight for me!

As an inspiration coach, I host and produce a podcast called “Daily Magic”, I have a YouTube channel: Shaina Wexler, and I offer a 1:1 transformational coaching called “Reignite Inspiration”. These three offerings, in combination, allow me to speak to, reach, and work with many types of people who are seeking to live their most joyful, peaceful, and wonder-filled lives!
“Daily Magic” is designed to be a cozy corner of the audio world where the listener is invited to rediscover and experience the abundant magic that dances through their life! The podcast is slow living wrapped in sparkles, self-love woven with inspiration, and mindfulness dipped in wonder! It’s a call to take a respite from the pace of life and learn how to revel in, create and BE the magic in this world!
My listeners are also heavily encouraged to sip tea with me while they are listening haha! That is a theme on my YouTube channel as well- brew up a cup of tea, get comfy, and tune in as, together, we explore how to live our most joyful and inspired lives.
My “Reignite Inspiration” one-on-one coaching is something that is very near and dear to my heart because I have seen it change lives in awe-inspiring ways! It is massively fulfilling to use my gifts, skills, and tools in a way that is able to make such a striking impact on the lives of others.
There are so many experiences, losses, changes and transitions in our life that can really make us feel shut off from our inspiration and therefore our ability to experience life’s daily joys and magical moments. Disconnection from our creative energy is a quality of life issue!
Reignite Inspiration is a personalized, eight week, holistic coaching where my clients and I are able to address the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels of what is blocking or impeding their relationship with their inspiration. With a tailored mixture of powerful modalities, neuroplasticity practices, coaching, and subtle lifestyle shifts, we are able to not only clear what is blocking them, but also, teach them exactly how they can STAY connected to a continual flow of inspiration even in the midst of life’s challenges. The result is true presence and joy in the day-to-day, flowing creation energy, and lasting motivation for the future they desire to build. It is an amazing thing to behold and a privilege to share.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Oh my goodness…yes I can. This question actually makes me laugh a bit because it’s kind of a, “Too soon? Too soon?” kind of question haha!
I’m actually just coming out the other end of one of the most challenging, painful, and heartbreaking years of my life. A year ago, so many important and foundational aspects of my life unexpectedly came crashing down around me all at the same time. It felt devastating and heartbreaking and I was left reeling. To be fully transparent, there were days where I was absolutely on my knees unsure where to go or what to do to rebuild my life. Yet, at the same time, I felt so certain, in the most profound parts of me, that life IS worth living, and it CAN be so beautiful, and it IS filled with so many magical and beautiful moments worth observing and celebrating. Experiencing that knowing made me want to find ways to alchemize my pain in order to help others who were struggling. I am so grateful that, even on my hardest days, I was deeply connected to my inspirational flow, and that I knew that the best way to transform my heartbreak was to CREATE! It was from that space that I wrote, produced, edited and released my weekly episodes of Daily Magic- scouring life for its small but sincere moments of sparkle. It was from that space that I dreamed up, built and launched my YouTube channel; writing, filming, editing, and uploading episodes each week with the desire to be an uplifting voice of warmth and support to those out there needing a boost and a little bit of hope. It was from that space that I launched my transformational Reignite Inspiration coaching experience; knowing more acutely than ever before how life-saving and life-changing it is to learn how to unblock and open ourselves to our inspirational flow.
Choosing to stay aligned with the truth of the beauty of this world, and choosing to put daily action behind this belief has been pivotal in healing myself, and in supporting the healing of many, many others. The road has not been easy, but I am really proud of myself for what I have been able to build and share along this path.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

Oh absolutely! Helping empower people to live their most inspired, joyful lives is the driver in all that I do and create! Inspiration, or the lack thereof, underscores all that we do- it impacts our work, our relationships, our sense of self, and our ability to truly enjoy and be present in our lives. Inspiration is a massive key to experiencing a life worth living! Having gone through seasons of life in the past that were devoid of inspiration and joy makes it feel all the more important to use all that I have learned and discovered along the way to help as many humans as I can to transform their lives into those of flowing inspiration, joyful day to day moments, and unbridled creative energy. When we learn how to remain in continual connection with our inspiration and joy, we are emboldened to go out, create, and shape a magical world around us! What could be more important?
