In this episode of Design Review, Robert Haines sits down with Holly Pyle—jazz looping vocalist, vocal coach, and mindset coach—for a deeply honest conversation about voice, vulnerability, and authenticity.
Holly shares her journey from perfectionism and self-pressure to a way of singing and living rooted in presence, permission, and emotional integrity. Together, they explore the difference between performative vulnerability and the kind of vulnerability that actually heals.
This conversation dives into how voice training touches on inner wisdom, how being perfect and ”pretty” can be inauthentic, and how creative pursuits mirror inner work. They also unpack fear, emotional safety, and what it means to feel threatened even when no real danger is present—because sometimes, as they put it, the caller is in the house.
If you’re navigating growth, healing, or learning to trust your own voice—literally or metaphorically—this episode offers thoughtful insight grounded in lived experience.
