Shownotes

Lucie Chartin joins Michelle Lynne to share her remarkable journey of walking away from a successful singing career—and finding her way back on entirely new terms. After years of performing internationally as a soprano, Lucie realized during the pandemic that the career she had worked so hard to build was no longer bringing her joy. She stepped away from music, explored a new creative path in web design and branding, and began rebuilding her identity outside of being a singer.

Four and a half years later, reconnecting with former colleagues unexpectedly reignited her curiosity about singing. As her voice returned, so did something even more important: the joy of practicing. Lucie discusses how separating her self-worth, financial security, and definition of success from her music career gave her the freedom to return without the pressure that once consumed her.

Together, Michelle and Lucie explore portfolio careers, ethical entrepreneurship, relationships in the music industry, motherhood, and the many different ways a musician can build a meaningful life. Lucie leaves listeners with a powerful question: What does it mean to be a “good musician” to you—and what does success actually look like on your own terms?
