What happens when an opera singer chooses a new artistic path? In this heartfelt conversation, I speak with Shirit Lee Weiss - stage director and casting director of the Israeli Opera - about motherhood, proportions, and the courage to evolve on an artistic path. We speak openly about transitioning from being an opera singer to becoming a stage director and casting director, about motherhood and how it reshapes priorities, time, and artistic depth, and about learning proportions in a profession that asks for total devotion. Shirit shares powerful insights on time management for artists, emotional resilience, vulnerability on stage, and what truly matters when building a long-term artistic life. This episode is especially for singers and artists navigating change - and for artist-mamas learning how to hold both family and passion with clarity and compassion. ✨ Stay until the end for Shirit’s honest and grounding advice for young singers. ❤️Spreading Goodness on MY WAY to the BIGGEST STAGES❤️ ***CONNECT*** 🎁 JOIN MY MAILING LIST HERE: https://www.shirimagar.com/gooddeedsdiva/ 😎📖 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/shirimusic/ 📸INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/shiri_magar/ https://youtu.be/4nMhDWSomNQ #opera #operasinger #classicalsinger
