Aubrey still uses what she learned at Carnegie Mellon, even if her audience is only her children.
We’re no stranger to big dreams around here! Write them down, say them out loud, chase them with open arms – no matter what they may be. But this month we’ve been “taking a break”, and sometimes our dreams do that, too. Many of us may be in a season where we need to remind ourselves that paused dreams are not dead dreams.
Paused Dreams are not Dead Dreams
With a voice discovered by her kindergarten teacher, Aubrey Greenan has spent the majority of her life developing her talent for singing. She owes a lot to a high school teacher, too, and of course the conservatory program at Carnegie Mellon. The way she describes it, her dreams of singing in large scale productions were not out of reach. But, she shares some other dreams she had – motherhood.
Aubrey details a moment with one of her mentors that changed her perspective. Fast forward to now, she is a mother of 3 and performs in her kitchen. Tune in, the way she describes her life now, though, is still inspiring and beautiful. Will she one day grace an opera stage again? Maybe! She didn’t give up on anything, she just shifted her priorities for this season.
