This week’s guest is Katherine Beck, a Voice Coach, Voice Actor & host of two globally ranked podcasts. She has coached actors & voiceover artists, broadcast journalists and hosts, and online entrepreneurs how to emotionally connect to their audiences using their voice.

Katherine’s acting career shifted into voice acting after she fell in love with creating characters with her voice. As she was finding her way in a blossoming career, her life in LA changed drastically one night after an encounter with a guy from Australia. Before she knew it she was getting married and relocating her life to Australia. 

In this episode, Katherine shared:

• how she overcame her fears as an actress and voice coach
• her career pivot from voice actor to entrepreneur
• how important our voice is in our communication with others and the ways in which it can impact our ability to connect
• valuable voice tips on how to communicate and influence others

With her experience of pivoting...

Even though this episode may be about a topic you have no interest in, think about how it may apply in other areas of your life where you are resisting doing something that keeps coming up, either from conversations you’re having or internal thoughts that keep arising. 

Often resistance is just our ego pushing something away because that thing is outside of our comfort zone. Pay attention to the resistance. It’s often fear in disguise. And once you overcome the resistance, magic happens.

I’m having SO.MUCH.FUN doing Reels. Check them out if you’re on Instagram and let me know what you think! It’s so crazy how I used to think how uncreative I was, and now, I’m having such a blast thinking up ideas for funny videos that I hope people make people smile, as well as stop and think!

What have you been resisting? Is it Reels? Or is it some other kind of technology?

What is it that you are making up silly stories about in your head, like I did, that...

We’re moving from activating ABUNDANCE, the series on which I’ve done 52 episodes over the past 12 months, and into ACTION, my new series where I’ll be talking about things that I’ve been thinking about doing that I’ve procrastinated on OR that keep coming up in my thoughts that I’ve been avoiding because I’m too scared, too complacent, or too much listening to my logical brain (or all of the above!)

With this series, I’ll be sharing ONE ACTION PER MONTH for the next 12 months that I finally just friggin’ did! You are my witness. And by sharing these actions openly, it will not only push me to do the things that have been just thoughts for far too long (and I know will be great for my soul), it will serve as an example to you that you too can do scary, hard, and maybe-a-little-crazy things.

I’d love for you to play along with me and commit to doing TWELVE NEW THINGS over the next year because what you’ll discover is...

This week’s podcast guest is Dr. Tami Berry, a former surgeon and internationally recognized stress resilience expert, who helps people overcome burnout and transform stress into fuel for renewed energy, confidence, and joy. 

Living through her own burnout story, led her to research and develop a process for building stress resilience that helps transform high-levels of stress into a powerful force for life-long fulfillment and success.

In this episode, Dr. Tami shared:

• Her back story of how she became a surgeon, her love for the work and why she couldn’t continue with it due to the high levels of stress and the destructive behavior the stress caused.
• What her downward spiral taught her about the mind and body connection and its combined power to both harm and heal.
• How to recognize the invisible signs of stress.
• Four quick tips to lower stress.

Dr. Tami’s story is a powerful example of what can happen when there is little understanding about the impact of...

Today's topic was inspired by two things... First, by my conversation with Debbie Colbourn, who I interviewed on my last episode (EP 209). And second, by a topic that was discussed at my business retreat this past week.

It never ceases to amaze me how the universe delivers a message to me that is perfectly aligned with a subject I was going to talk about and how the context in which it's provided always seems to add value to that message.

I love this energetic back and forth with a power that is much greater than me - a power I used to be so oblivious of but now pay extra attention to. Even though I now have an awareness of it, I am still amazed when I see the ways in which it helps me be a better vessel. And as more messages come, I gain more faith and confidence in its guidance.

I know that the honest conversation I had with Debbie and the topic of integrity at my retreat happened the same week for a reason. More aha moments for me! More teaching moments for my podcast...

My latest guest is Debbie Colbourn, who calls herself an adventurer, former sport car racer, mountain climber, world traveler and a grandma of 4. Her resume and interests are long and varied and she says she’s filled with a need to always be learning and trying new things.

A combination of 25+ years as a professional accountant and guiding 1 to 25 million dollar companies through their life stages, along with an education in Kinesiology, an active competition life in performance dog sports and a desire to improve her own dogs’ fitness for competition, led her, in 2011, to create The Summit, a 7,000 square foot training facility and her first online business: The Fit Body Fit Mind Dog.

In this interview Debbie and I talked about:

• How she created boundaries in her corporate work that supported her adventurous lifestyle
• Her very different and interesting hobbies
• Her biggest fear is and the event in her life that created it
• The ‘bounce back-ability’ that is so...

Today's topic was inspired by my most recent interview with Liberty Baldovino, someone who is a great example of not letting the circumstances of your past define your future.

To listen to Liberty's entire story, check out Episode #50. Her story inspired me to talk more generally about the various buckets of "circumstances" and suggestions for how to activate abundance in those circumstances instead of letting them control you and the actions you take.

Buckets like how much money you have, where you live, who you live near and hang out with, and what kind of job skills/education you have.

If you're feeling stuck in the circumstances of your life, things that you were born into or were beyond your doing perhaps from something someone else did to you or your family, know that your future is totally unscripted and you are the author of that story.

I also share examples of famous people who were able to look past their circumstances and become incredibly successful. Let their...

My guest this week is Liberty A. Baldovino, also known as The Youthful Granny, a content marketer who specializes in writing ebooks, whitepapers, case studies, blogs, emails, and assisting clients with content strategies.

Despite Liberty’s busy schedule, she still finds time for her advocacies - encouraging people in her age group to venture into freelancing and teaching writing to kids and adults.

In this episode, Liberty and I talked about:

• The culture she grew up with and what it’s like living in a 3rd world country
• How she transitioned from a low paying Private School Teacher job to a lucrative online freelancing career
• Her plans for her future and her passion for helping other people her age get started with their own businesses.

Liberty is a great example to other people her age that a late-in-life career shift is possible no matter what your circumstances. Her freelancing journey has also inspired her to start an online community she calls, Freelancing for the...

Today's topic was inspired by my last episode with Lorna Green AND by a woman I met at a neighborhood party last weekend who was fraught with worry.

What if, to get rid of the worry that may be overwhelming us, we could shift our mindset to that of possibilities? And I'm not talking about the negative ones because THAT is probably what you're so worried about! How about thinking up a few positive options?

What if that job you're worried about getting laid off from because you think you won't be able to pay your bills, brought a new and better paying job?

What if that airplane you're worried about getting on because you think it might crash, brought you a new friend or even life partner who happened to be in the seat next to you?

What if that disease you're worried about getting because you might die, didn't kill you but taught you the greatest lessons of your life, brought you closer to your family, and took you down a new path in life?

In this episode, I talk about different ways...

This week is an interview with Lorna Green, who is a yoga teacher and wellness mentor. Lorna uses a combination of yogic wisdom and science-backed mindset techniques to help burnt-out professionals, who can’t stop hustling, slow down so they can stay on top of their game without sacrificing their health, personal life, and mental wellbeing.

Refusing to take life seriously, but serious about the right things, she is on a mission to show people how to worry less and live more.

In this episode, Lorna shared:

• Her early career in the beauty industry and a valuable tool she learned from that experience - a tool more people need to use. 
• Her experience of illness, bankruptcy and the loss of a 16 year relationship and how she overcame these obstacles.
• How she found Yoga and all the wisdom she learned from her that journey.
• Her great tips on how to worry less.

Lorna’s mantra is: “slow is strong, busy isn’t cool and age is just a number.”  Let Lorna...
