We’re diving deep into what it means to train as a vocal athlete, including:

To the human that makes all three of us smile so wide, feel so safe, and know that we are loved and chosen.

Happy birthday, Ryan.

Walking down memory lane with these photos makes me smile and feel immense gratitude that you were born and somehow made your way to the same space and time as me.

From the human who explored the world with me, my partner in adventure, growth, oracle moments, absolute joy and deep connected love. To the dada who loves our two tiny’s unconditionally, fully present, filled with gentle love, silly, creative and imaginative play and steady strength, who fully is choosing this season during the hardest challenges and the highest of highs. To the man who has chosen to invest so much of your life and intelligence to do what you can to move the needle and do some good in this world.

I see you, I love you, I am incredibly thankful for you.

Happy birthday, partner, husband, friend, co-parent, co-dreamer, co-survivor (lol), lover and LW.

We love you.

I love how Victor transformed this from a sad piano song into a danceable pop track 😍 CQ made sure the vocals were popping! We worked on all the songs together but this one I actually got her in studio for. Bo slayed especially considering we had over 100 layers of vocals 😂 Brock always, always, always kills it! And my lovely photo/video team Sheldon and Trish are just the best ❤️

Thank you everyone!

Go stream it 😘

Happy Father’s Day to the human in our family who is the safest, most playful, loving, aware, patient and wonderful place.

Ryan I knew I could have children and love our kids so deeply because of the love that you have shown me.

I see you, even in this season of exhaustion, joy and chaos, you show up every single day and are so present with Fox and Bowie. You make them feel seen and speak their language of play so dang well and somehow have found the mysterious balance between play, joy, boundaries, feeling yet calming big emotions and still find time to fold the endless piles of laundry haha

Not to mention work full time and always make time and space to celebrate and support my career as well.

Thank you for being an incredible teammate and the best dad ever. Our two tiny humans are so lucky to have you as their dad, friend and supporter.

We love you and I love you so much and I have no doubt that we are raising two incredible children together.

Happy dada day, my love. ✨💙 by @cqvoice

What a season this has been. Stepping into motherhood 2.5 years ago and motherhood X2 2.5 months ago.

To be the space you run to when you are hurt, sad or afraid. To be the person who helps co-regulate and calm you. To be your nutrition, health and main source of life. To be responsible for your hearts, your brains, your souls. To challenge what the world says you as males should be, and to instead offer a space to feel feelings, learn how to breathe through them, to be wild, curious and untamed, soft and strong, imperfect and courageous.

It’s a damn privilege to have this responsibility and to be both of your mamas.

Foxy, I cannot explain how big my love for you is. You have my heart and are a part of me. My love truly grows (even though it seems impossible) with every amazing part of you formed, revealed and unearthed. You are curiosity, intelligence, imagination, light, passion, observer, performer, athlete and so damn aware for such a tiny human. Thank you for trusting that I still got you, even though a new tiny human has been taking my arms and “two hand hugs” sometimes lately. You, my little love, are unconditionally loved by me.

Bowie, you have kept us on our toes. You (literally) proclaimed you were ready to be part of this world so early, aided in saving your own life and are holding your own. Waking into a life where toddler germs are abundant, quiet calm rarely exists and close face toddler interactions are inevitable isn’t easy but you’re taking everything thrown at you and are such a chill dude. Walking through several health challenges/scares with you has taught us to trust, to be patient and to just be. We are slowly discovering who you are and finally seeing you practice smiles is so beautiful. I already know you are fierce yet calm, opinionated yet chill and I cannot wait to see all the other complex contradictions you are along the way. I love you and you have my heart and soul too, my littlest love.

I love you both deeply.

Thank you for making me a mom. It’s pure exhaustion and joy, chaos and peace.

I love being a mama and I also love being a vocal coach and vocal producer. I am so grateful that I have the privilege… continued 👇🏼 by @cqvoice

Singers, artists, badass vocal athletes 🎤✨
Here are 3 common culprits of a tight, strained belt:

1. Lack of resonance (voice stuck in the back)
2. Tongue tension (pulling back & blocking freedom)
3. Overblowing (too much air pressure)
The fix?

✨ Build resonance (aka forward singing) using witchy, bright, catty sounds. You can also try my puffed-cheek articulation exercise to help bring the voice forward.

✨ Release tongue tension by singing with your tongue out. This retrains the habit of pulling it back and helps establish a more neutral, relaxed position.

✨ Balance your airflow by doing a gentle sigh before your belt. This teaches your body how much pressure you actually need. Hint: 100% is too much. Start around 50% and adjust.

Freedom over perfection. Curiosity over judgment.

Try these 3 tools for a healthier, freer belt and let me know how it goes 👇🏼

I’m always here if you have questions.

You can also train with me inside ROAR, my app with 10 athletic vocal programs (30+ days each) ✨

Free trial in bio.

Your voice matters. You matter. You got this.

All the love, 💙
CQ

We had an unexpected surprise come 4.5 weeks early!

Introducing Bowie Boone Dwyer. Born Feb 23, 2026, 5lbs 4oz. A tiny but mighty survivor that is thriving despite having a more challenging start to life.

Bowie (Bo): To Live, Connected to Nature. Mystical, Creative

Boone: Blessing, Timely Benefit, Adventurer, Explorer

Bowie has shown me that despite feeling unprepared and so not emotionally ready to walk through labour and into the trenches of newborn life… we are strong, powerful and so capable of rising to the challenges thrust upon us.

I am so grateful that Bo is healthy and alive and thankful for the team @pacificmidwiferypractice (shout out to TL and Brittany) and the badass nurses and ob’s @bcwomens for trusting and empowering me and my intuition as we all worked hard to bring him into this world alive and healthy.

Not wanting to be overly dramatic but being able to breathe like a singer helped save my sons life and I am so grateful that my experiences and skills lined up with what this tiny human needed throughout this process. I can share more if you would like to know.

Shout out to my husband, partner and the best dada - Ryan - for walking through a wild yet beautiful time with me. Thank you for trusting me to bring our son into this world and for knowing what my nervous system and heart needed throughout the process. Calm, quiet, peace, absolute trust and support that I got this and requiring clarity and steadiness from the medical team.

Foxy has been amazing; and despite juggling a 2 year old and a premie being a challenge, he has been so sweet and patient during this transition.

Thank you to our friend fam and fam for showing up with very little warning that everything was happening “now”. We couldn’t have and can’t do this without you.

As many of you know I had to cancel my March sessions, thank you for your patience, love and endless support.

I will be back coaching a few sessions a week soon and will reach out as I open up my calendar.

ROAR Masterclasses and Live Connects are still on, we may just have a tiny visitor along for the ride. 🏹⚡️

All the love, CQ ✨💙 by @cqvoice

2025 taught me that life is both simple and complex, challenging and effortless. Filled with moments of survival and moments of elation and success. It is all the things.

2025 was a year of contradictions: movement and stillness, tenacity and peace, momentum and limbo, joy and sorrow, growth, imperfection, and progress and so much more. A year where many versions of me danced around each other: mama, wife, vocal coach, vocal producer, entrepreneur, friend, daughter, dreamer, singer, artist, human.

I am deeply grateful for the highlights: watching Fox grow into an incredible tiny human, coaching at the JUNO Awards, ARC, CMI, working with hundreds of incredible artists prepping them for tour, studio, walking through injuries, one-on-one sessions and through my ROAR app, vocal producing badass humans with some amazing records coming out this year, running a half marathon and parenting beside an incredible human who is healing the parts of me that didn’t have a dad like Foxy does.

I am also grateful for the hardships: moments and months of pure survival, and one of the most challenging years for our tiny, wondrous family.

Within the contradictions, life happened and is happening and I am so damn grateful for all of it. The chaos and the peace. The two steps forward, followed by another unexpected twist to navigate. The uncertainties and the known truths.

2026 brings a new tiny human, new programs for ROAR, the absolute privilege of walking alongside so many artists and badass humans I love, more time with the people I adore, and continuing to navigate this wild life beside my big love and my little (soon to be two little) loves. Oh, and probably many things I am both completely unprepared for and somehow absolutely exactly prepared and ready for, because life is hilarious and wild and makes no sense… and also all the sense.

Happy 2026 wondrous humans.✨

Dream big and trust that no matter what:

Your voice matters. You matter. You got this. We got this.

All the love, CQ 💙

Tonight! We will dive into all things vocal health, making it through cold and flu season as a singer and I will answer any questions you have.

The amount of holiday seasons I’ve had the dreaded 6 week cold, flu or bronchitis has not been fun. But, there are ways to reduce vocal swelling, prevent injury and gently ask your voice to show up for you night after night. ✨

Excited to share and support your vocal health tonight.

Link on @countrymusicalberta page. Free to attend.

All the love,
CQ 💙

It was my birthday this past Tuesday and I finally have a moment to reflect ✨

Swipe to see one of the biggest things this next year is bringing.

Birthdays always make me pause and think about who I am, who I’ve been, and who I’m growing into. Sometimes I feel like all versions of myself at once, and other times I am only a few parts while the rest wait for their season.

I am a mama (times two this Spring), partner, friend, sister, coach, mentor, vocal producer, artist, writer, survivor, student, entrepreneur, athlete, woman and human. Complex, layered, strong, soft, broken, healed and still becoming.

This year I parented a tiny human who transformed from baby to toddler.

I worked with incredible artists as a Vocal Coach, Vocal Producer + Rehab Specialist at the JUNOs, in one on ones, tour warm ups and across programs throughout Canada.

I witnessed breakthroughs, vocal healing, growth, resilience, creativity. I got to be part of artists’ journeys, and I’m so grateful.

ROAR community: you are magic. Coaching you through my programs, group classes + live sessions fills me up. I am so damn grateful for you.

This year was challenging and beautiful. Sleepless nights, deep joy, the kind of love that expands your capacity for everything else.

I’m not sure if balance exists but seasons, priorities, support, delegation, rest and energy do.

I thought becoming a mama might erase other parts of me, but instead, I found a fierce well of joy that deepened all of them.

Thank you to so many of you for being part of my story and life experience.

38 brings more love, more creativity, more connection… and a new little human joining us soon 💙
