Healing, Faith, and the Power of Letting Go with Hannah Dela Rosa | Episode 348 Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Small Talk with Alec Cuenca, we continue the heartfelt conversation with Hannah Dela Rosa—vocal coach, singer-songwriter, and creative mentor—as she shares the next chapter of her journey: walking away from perfectionism and rediscovering her voice through purpose.

After spending a decade in choir culture, Hannah found herself burned out, lost, and unsure of who she was outside performance. But through prayer, surrender, and honest self-work, she began to heal. What followed was unexpected—a viral video, a growing student community, and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to sing for God, not just for applause.

Hannah opens up about starting her Vocal Ensemble class, the beauty of imperfect progress, and why she believes singing is for everyone—even those who were once told to stay quiet.

If you've ever felt afraid to sing, ashamed of your voice, or pressured to prove yourself—this episode will remind you of the freedom found in simply being who God designed you to be.
