An Inspired Chat with Corinne Ladymusicc

We recently had the chance to connect with Corinne Ladymusicc and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Corinne, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Being out in nature.

Preferably the beach, but I also love the mountains. I can wander in the woods all day or swim and lay on the beach. Both are sanctuaries for me. Both places allow me to lose my mind and find my soul.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a photographer and videographer and graphic designer.
Personally, I also enjoy making music and music videos and merch designs.

On the side, I am also a pet-sitter and caregiver.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child, I was bullied a lot. Physically and verbally. Physical stuff was nothing. But the verbal stayed for a long time.

I was told that I was stupid and would never amount to anything.
I was told (by someone I looked up too) that I wasn’t a “real” photographer.
I also had people tell me that I was not good at graphic design and should stop.

I now know that I am intelligent, resourceful and I have the ability to problem solve and figure things out.
I know I am curious and that curiosity always keeps me learning.

I AM a REAL photographer. Always have been since the day I got my first camera.

I am extremely good at graphic design and I’m glad I kept teaching myself about it, in spite of the “naysayers”

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Man, I have so many things.
I was extremely critical to myself when I was younger. Downright cruel and hateful. If I could write a letter, or time travel and talk to myself, this is what I would say.

Stop being so hard on yourself. You’re young. You’re learning. This stuff is supposed to be fun. And it is fun. Learning is a journey. Enjoy it.

Don’t worry about being overweight or ugly. We outgrow it. 😉 But please eat better. Don’t eat so much junk food because one day you are gonna make yourself so sick, you’ll wish you could throw up. So, heads up. Cool it on the junk food.

Learn to enjoy being single. Because no, you’re not getting married at 20. You don’t get married at 30. But you do enjoy being alone. You have adventures. You have dreams. You have fun all by yourself. So calm down on being consumed about marriage. There’s so much more to life than having a man.

Don’t worry about the people who are going to leave you. Let them go. People will come and go, so let them. Don’t hold on so tightly. It’s exhausting and you have better things to do. You’re better than how they treat you. So move on when they do.

Don’t call yourself stupid or fat. It’s okay to not like where you are, or how you look, but be nice to yourself. It gets better. We finally get that dream haircut. We go to the gym. We like ourself in the future. So calm down on the self hate.

And lastly, all those dreams you’re dreaming, keep dreaming them. Because it is our reality in the future.

And I would show her the music video I made. The graphic design that made it on a billboard. The album artwork that people bought. The t-shirts, the posters, the book I designed. Anything to throw gasoline on that small spark.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I have a project I started working on in March of 2024.

The project is an educational course that is a series of videos that will teach people about Children’s Ministry. How to run it. How to do it in a fun, safe, effective way. What you shouldn’t do. How to lead. How to teach. And when you shouldn’t be doing it at all.

I cover 12 topics throughout the course. It’s deep, raw, unfiltered, and explicit. I do not sugar coat. I don’t spare feelings.

The way the modern church is doing children’s ministry these days, is not okay.
I am putting my two cents out there. Hoping to change the way children’s ministry is done, and provide a better environment for kids.

I plan to film these lessons at the beginning of 2026, and hopefully release it later next year.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Yes, because I have done it.

As I mentioned before, I had people telling me I should quit because I was no good at my current skill level.

How ridiculous! I know I wasn’t. I was learning.

Would you look at a baby who’s learning how to walk, watch them fall down and say “You should just quit. You’re no good at that!”. Of course you wouldn’t. And if you did, you’re a terrible person.

It was crushing to see people online being cruel and just plain mean. But there were others who were encouraging, and told me to keep going. Keep trying, keep learning. It helped give me the push to ignore those negative voices.

But there have been the struggles, the mountains I climbed where I had no audience. No one knew what I was doing in secret. And I think there is security and peace in that.

I had made music, created music videos, designed my own website and filled it with content, created an educational course and even started releasing podcasts. And all of these things were done in complete secrecy.

No audience. No applause. No support.
But there was also no negativity, debby downers, naysayers, or haters.

I think by doing things in secrecy, it gives me the freedom to be as creative, raw and daring as I want to be.
I don’t have to worry about what will people think? Or if they’ll approve of my work or not.
To work in secrecy and drop an entire project like a bomb is exhilarating. It is nerve racking because you do think “Now, everyone is going to see this. And what will they think?” But at least during the creative process, there’s peace. There’s quiet. There’s freedom from that.
