Slowing down.
Slowing down can help communication to be more effective
We can listen to things faster, but we can’t download life that way
Living like a plant.
Remember why we are doing the project and connect it with your heart.
Her BIG WHY - Mission as an artist, a coach, and a person:
to elevate and uplift women’s voices.
Resilience.
Pivot by starting podcast and by focusing more on coaching
Perform and reach to people safely.
Biggest challenge: Believe in herself/Imposer syndrome.
So much resistance to change
Voices about not good enough
Admit that she has a lot of demons inside to battle.
But deep down she does believe in herself.
How do you want to be featured:
Bodice ripper project: sexy, silly stories wrote at the backstage at the opera.
It’s going to lead into the one-women show as a digital event in October. as part of the Philadelphia French Festival.
One on one coaching, & boot-camp.
For showing the resilience, you have to allow yourself to be vulnerable.
Acknowledge there is fear./ we don’t know what’s coming around the corner.
when we name the fear, they lose its power. Understanding about ourselves,
that where coaching comes in.
It’s harder to see the reality, our feelings.
It’s huge to reflect back. But it’s important to have a third person kind view.
“Live your life like you are building a sand castle. Enjoy it while you are making it. But let it go when the waves wash it away”
“Life is too important to take it too seriously.”
