Episode 266: Doing What It Takes To Live The Life You Want, With Tobi Crawford

This week’s guest is Tobi Crawford, a Vocalist, Pianist, Music Arranger and Educator. Tobi taught at the high school level in Canada for 10 years, teaching choirs, bands and music theory before moving to Shanghai, China where she was the Fine Arts Department head and Director of Music at Sino-Canada High School for 5 years.

Tobi recently graduated with a Masters degree in Jazz Voice Performance from the esteemed University of North Texas where she served as a teaching fellow. She is currently the co-director and professor of music at The School for Music Vocations in Creston, Iowa.

In this episode, Tobi and I talked about:

• Why she uprooted her family to move from Canada to China.
• What made her uproot her life again and go back across the world to go to college at midlife. 
• The hardships she encountered with her weight and her weight loss journey.
• Getting back into the dating scene after her marriage ended and finding love.

Listen as Tobi shares her inspirational story of pursuing passion, overcoming obstacles, and winning in life with pure determination and grit.
