Praise for THRIVING ARTIST from Thriving Artists!

I highly recommend this book (and this work) to all my fellow artists (or anyone for that matter) who is feeling stuck, uninspired, and held back by fear.

Jenny's impact on my life is profound. Working with her, and implementing her techniques, has made me a freer and more productive artist, increased my income as a freelancer, and cleared away years of negative narratives that often held me back, not just in my artistic endeavors, but in my life.

Read this book. Embrace Jenny's words. Incorporate the practice. See your life expand."

Hunter Bell - Tony and Drama Desk Award nominated, and OBIE Award winning Writer whose work has been seen on Broadway and stages around the world

 

This wonderful book offers a refreshing, practical approach to addressing the unique challenges artists face, from performance anxiety to financial concerns. Jenny combines her deep understanding of the artistic journey with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), providing step-by-step guidance and targeted tapping scripts that help musicians and performers clear mental and emotional blocks.

Through real-life examples and accessible practices, Thriving Artist empowers creatives to foster resilience, confidence, and fulfillment in their careers and lives. This book is a valuable resource for any artist looking to unlock their full potential.

What's in the book:

Introduction
Let's face it! As a musician, artist, creative of some kind, you get to ‘live the dream’... BUT, it can come with big struggles and challenges.
I went through these in my career as a freelance violinist, and was lucky enough to discover EFT tapping for myself, get trained and begin to work with other musicians and artists.

Section 1: The Challenges We Face
Performance nerves, poor conditions, the ‘starving artist’ syndrome, audition anxiety and falling out of love with music, etc.
The different issues that come up for so many working professionals or would-be artists, with stories from my own life and from people I’ve worked with.
My article, published as an opinion piece in August 2023, for The Strad magazine: Are Nerves Really Necessary?
Plus, tell me something about yourself.

Section 2: EFT Instruction for Thriving Artists 
Comprehensive introduction to the EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques – or Tapping method.
Including how to do it, the acupressure points to use, how it works etc.
The myths about this technique (7 Things EFT is NOT) and
How Tapping can specifically help musicians.

Section 3: Practical Applications (Scripts, Videos & Audios)
This section includes many scripts, videos and audios for different situations, such as:
Waiting in the wings; Not Good Enough; Bad Performance Feelings; Time & Money worries; Rejection; Facing a tough crowd; Change Your Money Thoughts, Change Your Results; Angry Authority Figures.
There are links to YouTube videos so that you can easily use the technique along with me.

Section 4: Thriving Artist Stories & Case Studies
Some stories from the people I’ve worked with, both individually and in groups, and how this technique has helped them in their lives and careers. 

Conclusion & Moving Forward
In ‘2020 New decade: How EFT helped me as a musician’ I give an overview of many of the ways that using this technique helped me to grow and succeed in my violinistic career.
In ‘Is FEARLESS in your artistic vocabulary?’ I talk about my future book which will include many more tapping scripts and uses for this technique specifically relevant to musicians.

 

More Reviews from Thriving Artists:

Jenny Clift’s approach is refreshingly real. She emphasizes that it’s okay to temporarily hold space for negative feelings, allowing them to be part of the process without getting stuck. This balance has transformed how I view mindset work.

Christopher Still - Founder Honesty Pill Coaching, Trumpet @ Los Angeles Philharmonic

 

Working with Jenny Clift and learning the benefits of EFT Tapping has broadened my creative abilities and my tolerance for creative risk-taking. Things that stopped me (or slowed me down) in the past no longer have the power to do so. Adding a tapping practice to my life has allowed me to quiet those voices of self-criticism and doubt, and forge new neural pathways leading to personal and professional expansion.

Jenny is a fantastic listener, teacher and guide. I recommend EFT and specifically Jenny Clift, to all our clients at The Spark File, and am so pleased to know it has helped them grow and expand as well!

Jenny Clift understands first-hand the struggles that musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs face, and her work has been transformational for me and for the groups I lead. It’s such a RELIEF to be able to acknowledge all of the negative feelings we have and clear them out to make space for new possibilities!

This new book is so digestible, so practical, so helpful, that you can start your journey today!

Jennet Ingle - Oboist, Entrepreneur, Author of ‘The Happiest Musician’, Coach & Host of the Crushing Classical Podcast

 

Since integrating the EFT techniques I’ve learned from Jenny into my vocal coaching sessions with my Singers, I’ve witnessed firsthand how her methods can uplift and empower others, as they have me.

THRIVING ARTIST is an invitation to connect with oneself on a deeper level and unlock the full creative spirit. Jenny’s expertise and compassion shine through every page, offering both practical tools and gentle encouragement for those ready to tap into their potential and release what holds them back.

May you feel the same joy, peace, and clarity in its pages as I’ve found in working with Jenny.

I have worked with Jenny Clift many times, and it has always been a surprisingly powerful and transformative experience. Her book is a fun and easy read, while still being practical and helpful. I really think it’s going to resonate with all types of performers.

Lisa-Marie Newton - Award-winning Actor, Singer, Voiceover Artist, Writer, and Producer.

 

As musicians we commit years of our lives to cycles of practise, rehearse, perform. Rather like athletes, we prepare for those big events, coping with all the highs and lows along the way. However, we seem to be a little behind the athletes when it comes to self care, mental resilience and the peak performance mindset…

But help is at hand! In her book, Jenny totally nailed down the many problems we often confront as creatives. Her experience as a musician, from her student days to practising professional, and from working with numerous musicians as a coach, she has seen quite a sampling of these problems, and THE SOLUTIONS TOO!

Following Jenny’s clear instructions and accompanying videos, often creatively combined with using imagery, you’ll be able to tailor your own scripts to your issues, anytime, anywhere. With practice, you’ll be confident to take them down, one after another.

Vivian Choi - Pianist & Educator, Junior Department @ The Royal College of Music, London

 

My work with Jenny Clift helped me clear a lot of emotional baggage that had gotten trapped in my body. EFT itself is a fantastic modality to help rewire the brain. Jenny has an uncanny ability to understand what artists are thinking and feeling, and is able to articulate the magnitude of our self-doubt, negative talk, and self-sabotage. In this way, she helps bring to light the thoughts that keep us bound and away from artistic growth. Her understanding on this subject is of the highest order!

Julia Radosz – Soprano, Voice Teacher, Founder ‘Voice with Julia’

 

Jenny Clift’s work as an EFT Tapping Coach is integral for peak musical performance. The technique helps you to identify and clear many aspects to your ability to play unencumbered by distractions.

Truly a revolutionary technique that every artist needs in their toolbox.

Gloria Lum – Cellist @ Los Angeles Philharmonic, Founder 'Audition Confidential'

 

I enjoyed reading ~Thriving artist~ soo much! The book is a real breath of fresh air, presenting author's authentic experiences, good and bad, lessons learnt and hurdles overcome.

Reading through some of them reminded me of my own 'sticky situations' in the business, as well as how far I've managed to come, also thanks to tapping and many other mindful practices.

Fun fact: I read most of the book in Ms. Jenny's voice (especially those wonderful tapping transcripts included in the book) because I've been following her work on the social media for some time now. Looking forward to more books and other resources to come out! ️
