A Message for Every Woman - “Come In” What does it mean to truly know who you are — not who the world says you are, but who you were created to be?  In this episode, Sarah sits down with her lifelong friend Lexi Ogden Walbeck for a deeply personal conversation about identity, comparison, and the quiet crisis that so many women carry alone. Together they walk through the three stages of womanhood — maiden, mother, and matriarch, a framework drawn from the work of Elle Rowley — and explore why each transition can feel so disorienting, and how returning to your divine identity is always the way back. Whether you are a young woman still discovering yourself, a mother in the thick of it, or a grandmother carrying decades of hard-won wisdom, this episode was made for you. Lexi Ogden Walbeck is a wife, mother of four, and co-creator of the True Millennial platform alongside her husband Parker. Known for her gift of encouragement and her deep faith, Lexi brings warmth, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom to every conversation she enters. Her original poem "Come In" — which opens this episode — serves as an anthem and an invitation for women everywhere to remember who they are, link arms with the women around them, and step fully into the life they were foreordained to live.

Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/more_than_musicians/ The Art of Playing, Not Perfecting Music “Music to me isn't just notes. It's emotions. It's deep feelings. It's the space between the words. Music is not what I do for a living. It's who I am.” In this episode of More Than Musicians, Sarah sits down with Emmy Award-winning and Grammy-nominated composer Kurt Bestor. He is the creative force behind some of the most beloved music in film, television, and holiday traditions. From a childhood moment where his mother asked him to “play a sunrise,” to conducting at the Olympic Games, Kurt shares the journey that shaped not just his career, but his identity as an artist. This conversation goes far beyond music. We talk about: Why music is meant to be felt, not perfected The difference between the craft and the art of music Taking leaps before you feel ready How collaboration, failure, and fear shape true creativity Why “playing” music might be the most important thing we’ve lost Kurt’s perspective is a powerful reminder that music isn’t just something we do—it’s something that connects us at the deepest human level. If you’ve ever felt pressure to be perfect… this episode will change the way you think about music—and maybe even yourself.

In this heartfelt episode of More Than Musicians, Sarah sits down with Kent and Anne-Marie Barton, parents of a deeply musical family, to reflect on raising children in a home built on creativity, faith, and sacrifice, and the legacy that continues after the sudden loss of their daughter, Sophie Rose Barton. They share how music shaped their family, not just as a passion but as a language of connection, and how, after Sophie’s passing, it became a way to process grief. Through playing together as a family band and sharing music with others, they have kept her spirit alive. Kent and Anne-Marie, who run a high-end home design company, brought their eye for detail and beauty into every Sophie’s Place location. When Steve and Barb Young of the Forever Young Foundation approached them, they created Sophie's Place, a music therapy center in Sophie’s honor with themes like “Music Changes Everything” and “Shine On.” Every detail reflects Sophie’s personality and her lasting impact on the world. They also speak candidly about grief, the temptation to turn away from the hardest moments, and how true healing comes from facing it, leaning on each other, and finding beauty in the midst of sorrow. Stay tuned until the end to hear a song from Sophie herself, a beautiful reminder that her music and spirit continue to shine through her legacy. This conversation is a moving testament to the power of music to heal our souls and carry love through even the hardest times. If you feel touched by this episode, please consider sharing. Our hope is to spread awareness about the resources made available through Sophie's Place and music therapy.

In part two of this conversation, Sarah and singer-songwriter Emma Nissen dive into the ways we show up for one another, love without assumptions, and let our light guide others along their journey. From playful moments of improvisation—where Emma scats using random words—to deeply reflective conversations about life, Emma shares her philosophy of "Live and Let Live" and the beauty of meeting people exactly where they are. The conversation culminates in a heartfelt performance of her song, Walking Each Other Home, a touching anthem about love, guidance, and the power of simply being present for one another.

In part one of this two-part conversation, Sarah sits down with singer-songwriter Emma Nissen to explore the stories that have shaped her up to this point in her life. From her earliest musical experiences to the moment an unexpected vocal cord injury redirected her path from opera to (later) discovering jazz, Emma reflects on how detours can become divine redirections. That redirection ultimately led her to serve a church mission, where she began writing music for the first time. Emma performs her first ever song, “Gotta Have Faith.” She goes on to share the sacred story behind a mission anthem inspired by her late grandfather - living proof of the angels she believes are among us guiding us every step of the way. As promised, Emma also announces the name of her brand new album and offers a thoughtful perspective on faith journeys—likening them to building a home. This conversation isn’t just for fans of Emma’s music. It’s for anyone navigating a faith journey, unexpected change, and the realization that we have far more similar than we are different. 🎧 Part two will drop 2/10 -- don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss a thing!

In this episode of More Than Musicians I sit down with accomplished composer and arranger, Marshall McDonald to unpack his story. Marshall opens up about how he navigates the creative process, the fears he’s faced along the way and some important life advice from his mom that we all need to hear. We discussed how Marshall has learned to let God guide his work and how he sees creativity as an act of faith that has allowed him to be an instrument in the Lord's hands. Marshall tells a captivating story about his arrangement of Come O Come Emmanuel that he did for The Piano Guys and we discuss how important it is to remove ego from your creative work. I was so grateful for an opportunity to share with Marshall a special experience I had while playing one of his arrangements. This was truly a treat to sit down with someone so influential in my life personally. If you’ve ever felt stuck, hesitant to start, or caught up in the need for worldly praise or recognition, this conversation will inspire you to create with courage, purpose, humility and faith.

What would you do if you woke up one morning and your body no longer worked the way it always had?While serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Lindsey Tait Curtis experienced a moment that would change her life forever. She woke up unable to walk—beginning a journey that would eventually lead to a diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that causes unpredictable episodes of paralysis and neurological symptoms. Lindsey never knows when the next episode will come or how long it will last, and the uncertainty has become one of her greatest trials.In this deeply moving conversation, Lindsey shares what it’s like to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate, how grief and faith can coexist, and how she has leaned on God, music, and songwriting to process pain, fear, and hope. Rather than letting her limitations silence her, Lindsey has found her voice—using music as a form of prayer, healing, and testimony.This episode is an honest look at trusting God when answers don’t come quickly, when healing doesn’t look the way we expect, and when faith means continuing to believe even in the unknown. Lindsey’s story is one of resilience, positivity, and choosing hope—again and again. Lindsey’s original songwriting is featured throughout the episode, offering a powerful soundtrack to her story. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, uncertainty, or simply wondering how faith can carry you through life’s hardest seasons, this conversation will remind you that even when the body falters, faith can still stand strong.

In this episode, Sarah sits down with Matthew Braidley Johnson, master piano technician and hymn arranger, to explore the powerful parallels between tuning a piano and tuning our hearts. Matt explains the concept of a pitch raise — why some pianos require a major adjustment before they can ever be finely tuned — and how that same principle applies to our spiritual lives, personal growth, and family priorities. Matthew also shares the intentional decision to step away from the retail side of his business in order to create a family life more aligned with the goals he and his wife had for time together, especially on weekends with their young family. Together they discuss good, better, and best choices, and why choosing the best is individual often requires meaningful sacrifice. Throughout the conversation, Matthew plays two of his hymn arrangements, shares scripture, and reflects on the spiritual power of music to shape our homes, strengthen faith, and bring greater harmony to our lives.

In this episode, Sarah sits down with her husband and co-founder, Brady Davies, to share the story behind The Piano Place — how it started, what they’ve learned, and the real stories from students and families that prove music can tangibly shape and strengthen a home. Together, they open up about the early days of building a music school from scratch, the moments that strengthened (and tested) their marriage, and the experiences that confirmed to them that music truly does change lives. They also talk honestly about the regrets they carry from those early chapters — the sacrifices, the missteps, and the things they wish they’d done differently — and how, through all of it, they can now see God’s hand guiding each step of the way. Whether you’re a parent wanting to bring more music into your home, an entrepreneur curious about what it takes to start a business, or someone who simply loves a good origin story, this episode will inspire you to see music as more than a hobby — but a transformative force inside any home, especially when you invite faith, grace, and growth into the process.

This week on More Than Musicians, Sarah sits down with Andy Phillips — a rare talent who has performed at a professional level in not just one discipline, but two. A former member of the U.S. Ski Team who later became the beloved kicker for the University of Utah football team (and even spent time in the NFL), Andy’s story is full of remarkable twists. And what many don’t know is that he’s also a gifted violinist. Andy’s perspective is especially powerful because he’s now a coach to his own kids on various teams and a featured writer for the Salt Lake Tribune, where he is passionate about helping kids tap into their fullest potential. Together, he and Sarah dive into what today’s youth are facing in the world of competitive sports and nonstop activities: burnout, the value of multi-sport experiences, knowing when an investment has lifetime value, and how parents can tell when it might be time for a child to step back or even quit. Insightful, grounded, and refreshingly honest, this episode offers practical wisdom for parents trying to help their kids thrive — a must-listen for parents, coaches, and anyone raising high-potential kids.

On this episode of More Than Musicians, Sarah welcomes Summer Adamson: wife, mother of four, author, and advocate. Summer shares her family’s journey after her daughter Jayne was born with Down syndrome—a diagnosis that, while unexpected, brought extra joy, curiosity, and compassion into their lives. Jayne plays a special musical number on the piano at the end of the episode. Don't miss this one!
