Show Notes
Candace Lark-Masucci is a harpist, educator, and musicians’ life coach helping artists build careers that are emotionally grounded, mentally healthy, and financially sustainable.
In this deeply honest conversation, Candace shares her journey from aspiring ballerina to concert harpist, through burnout, illness, and identity loss—and how those experiences shaped her work coaching musicians today. We talk about why “just do what you love” can be dangerous advice, how over-booking becomes a substitute for self-worth, and why learning what to say—and when to say no—is a core professional skill.
This episode explores burnout, boundaries, money, trauma, and meaning—and offers a powerful reminder that sustainable careers are built with clarity, courage, and community.
