Memory Lane

…because life isn’t Instagram-able

  • Four people standing on rocks outdoors with a stone wall and grass in the background.

    My parents served public school and state hospital systems and provided the secure foundation I needed to explore the vulnerable worlds of music performance and somatic awareness.

  • Two young girls smiling, standing close with arms around each other, wearing sports jerseys in an indoor sports setting.

    Strong female friendships are a cornerstone of my life. My friends teach me about belonging, perseverence, and love.

  • A young girl sitting on the floor against a wall, reading a book, with a denim jacket and a school bag beside her.

    Reading is integral to how I experience the world. See the blog for book recommendations and how they relate to somatic awareness work.

  • A young Jilian McGreen pictured with then UConn player and future WNBA star Diana Taurasi.

    I am a lifelong fan of women’s basketball—where women are big, strong, aggressive, and betting on themselves.

  • Jilian and her teacher stand smiling wearing graduation robes after the doctoral hooding ceremony.

    I completed a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Voice from the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) in 2017. I focused on vocal pedagogy and received a world-class education. I also internalized systems and expectations that didn’t truly serve me or support my well-being.

  • Jilian McGreen in a military uniform singing into a microphone during a concert, with a band seen in the background.

    I spent the first half of my Air Force career as a military musician. Today music forces me to wrestle with topics like imposter syndrome and what it means to be “good enough.”

  • Jilian McGreen taking a selfie in the parking lot outside the Pentagon, wearing a camouflage military hat, glasses, and a brown jacket with a backpack.

    My last day working at the Pentagon. I am grateful to support women veterans and military spouses through coaching and speaking.
