I grew up in concert halls. My mom is a solo violinist (Dylana Jenson) and my dad is a cellist & conductor (David Lockington). My mom was a prodigy, and toured the world playing with HUNDREDS of orchestras.

But that’s not the narrative I remember.

I remember her saying her career was OVER. That she was now too fat, too old, that nobody cared about her or wanted to study with her.

Meanwhile my dad’s career flourished….but I felt such sadness that my mom no longer had the fame & attention she DESERVED.

Then I got into personal development, social media, & MINDSET. I figured out how to develop a BRAND & create a BUZZ about whatever I put my intention to.

I told my mom she should get visible on social media. She said NO. She was shy, embarrassed, VERY insecure about what people would think, thought she wasn’t pretty enough, thought nobody would care. She thought she was too old & not skinny enough. She was worried about ruining her reputation.

Finally I convinced her. I coached her on how to create posts. How to tell a story, how to build a following….how to get VISIBLE.

This was about taking matters into her OWN hands. About taking up SPACE & saying “I DO belong here & I have valuable things to offer.”

But then her first hater came out. I had to coach her thru that one too - it comes with the territory of being visible and is a GOOD sign!

After seeing what I’d built online & the success I’d had though, she kept going.

And I’m so glad she did!!!! She now has many 1:1 musical coaching clients at $250/hr, was invited to teach at Notre Dame, has booked multiple performances, got invited TWICE to teach at ASMI Italy summer music festival, has passive income online courses, 1:1 coaching clients, and made 9k in two weeks with her Jenson Performance Training launch.

The healing we need to do is thinking that in the industry we are not - fill in the blank.

IT’s BS and time for US to change the narrative.
