Ooh I am dancing out of my skin to share this with you...

Of course, this first episode wouldn’t be complete without stepping up on my soapbox to share why I think speaking your truth matters so much in...

Become a founding member of the Speak Your Truth Community! πŸ’«

Last week I announced that I'm starting the "How To Speak Your Truth" podcast, and I was overwhelmed with the supportive and amazing response. I am so grateful, thank you!! And most importantly, I am so honored to be bringing forth these conversations about speaking our truth.

As a voice coach, I believe the deepest extension of working on our voice is being able to share our truth. It's freakin' hard work, but it's so worth it. Because when we live fully in our...

I'm starting a podcast! πŸŽ™πŸ˜

speak your truth May 16, 2019

Have you ever been totally nervous to share something? Because I am today! I had all the excuses about why I should just send another warm up video in my weekly newsletter and save this announcement for next week/next month/next year.

But then I realized that I have a super unique opportunity. Because I can actually model the content of my new project at the same time as I share my news.

I’m going to use the framework from my “How To Speak Your...

Develop your presence and you might even make a music video! 🎢πŸŽ₯

Uncategorized Apr 18, 2019

So this picture may be a bit blurry, but I'm still so excited about it because it's from the other day when I was directing a music video!!

I know, say what?!

I actually spent 5 years of my early career primarily as a theatre and film director, but this was totally new for me. So why was I directing a music video? Because of Ashley. (She's the one with her hair up in the lower left-hand corner of the pic).

Ashley’s been my client for over a year....

5 Days to Confidence on Camera! πŸ“ΉπŸ€³πŸŒŸ

Uncategorized Mar 07, 2019

Raise your hand if you've ever felt nervous recording yourself on camera. ‍

If you fear or avoid being on video, you're certainly not alone in your resistance. A large majority of people experience the whole public-speaking-is-scarier-than-death thing. But that’s not an excuse... if you've got a fire in your belly to share a message with the world, you're going to need to 'put yourself out there.'

Maybe you want to create the online business you've...

How To Speak Your Truth: The Conclusion

speak your truth Jan 31, 2019

Here it is, the Conclusion video of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course!

I'm going full-on philosophical with you today in this final video of the course (the thoughts I'm sharing are specifically derived from Vedic philosophy). I know that what I'm saying is controversial, so see if you agree...

My argument is that though there may be a sort of absolute "Truth" (with a capital T) embedded in our universe, we as individuals don't get to decide what that is. The...

How To Speak Your Truth, Step 7: Communication

speak your truth Jan 24, 2019

We've arrived at the seventh and final step of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course: Communication. This is the part of the process when you actually go back and forth with the outside world!

As amazing as it would be to live in a vacuum where nothing external influences us, that's definitely not reality. There are always others around us who have their own sensations, thoughts, emotions, and desires too. So how do we actually converse?

To understand how, I...

I'm singing Madonna right now because you know, you know, you got to... express yourself!

That's right friends - we're back with the sixth step of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course and this is the big one: Expression!

Over the course of the first four steps of the How To Speak Your Truth process, we identified our truth by paying attention to our sensations, thoughts, emotions, and desires. In the fifth step we took a moment to pause and come back into contact with the outside...
