LOVING & HATING YOUR JOB IN MUSIC

Caught Between Two Truths: Loving and Hating Your Job in Music

The music industry is full of highs and lows. One minute, you’re loving your job, watching an artist you worked with crush it on stage, feeling that rush of pride. The next, you’re miserable, drowning in back-to-back emails, dealing with huge egos and little respect, wondering how you ended up here.

This is dialectics—the idea that two seemingly conflicting truths can exist at the same time.

👉 You can love bringing an artist’s vision to life but resent the lack of respect from your team.
👉 You can feel grateful to work in music but hate the constant pressure to be available 24/7.
👉 You can enjoy the thrill of touring but miss having any semblance of a personal life.

These conflicting feelings don’t mean you’re ungrateful—they mean you’re human. The industry is fast-paced, creative, and electrifying, but it can also be draining, competitive, and isolating.

As a coach, I help women in music hold space for both truths. Together, we’ll explore the tension, clarify what truly matters to you, and create a plan that feels aligned—whether that’s redefining boundaries, stepping into leadership, or reigniting your passion for the work.
