While on one hand you're excited to start something new, on the other you may be wondering if this will be just another thing that comes and goes like the wind. You want to be consistent, but it's like there's something working against you and even if you're been doing something for a while the habit may not feel as good as you thought it would. It's just not easy. This week I am letting you in on how to crea...

Apr 04, 2022•35 min•Ep 65•Transcript available on Metacast There are so many avenues you can go down in the Performing Arts Industry that it can be easy to feel like you have to "fit" yourself in each one. But, what if I told you that by "fitting" yourself in the box you think they want you in, you're actually hurting your chances of being booked? Your energy is unique to you, but if you're tucking away the bits that make you unique and you're only showing what you think they want to see you're hiding the essence ...
Mar 28, 2022•19 min•Ep 64•Transcript available on Metacast Have you found that the "no"s are getting harder and harder to hear? Are you thinking that this should be getting easier since you've been auditioning for a while already? This week I am answering the question of how to make it easier and by the title you already know not caring isn't the answer. So many people think they just need to not care about the jobs, not care if they are being told no and not care if they don't get the callback they were hoping for. That's ...
Mar 21, 2022•29 min•Ep 63•Transcript available on Metacast In this Bonus Episode Susanne Puerschel and I are talking about our next topic for the Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop on February 28th. VALIDATION We're diving into why we chose this topic and our own experiences with Validation. As performing artists, we are taught to look outside of ourselves for validation not only for our art, but also for our worth. This, as I'm sure you can tell, is a problem because if we're always looking for other people to assure us we're on the r...
Feb 22, 2022•22 min•Transcript available on Metacast Creating experiences that are dedicated to our growth, spiritual development and pure enjoyment can feel easy when it is a designated practice, but how often are you creating those moments throughout your day?

Feb 21, 2022•54 min•Ep 62•Transcript available on Metacast Have you ever walked into the first day of rehearsals, a new dance class or even a group of friends and asked yourself "do I belong here?" Do you find yourself shapeshifting and changing who are you to fit in with the group that you're with? All of these things are symptoms of already deciding that you don't belong and feeling like you need to be part of the group rather than trusting that the unique combination of energy from each group is going to bring out the exact right ...

Feb 07, 2022•56 min•Ep 60•Transcript available on Metacast As artists it's so easy to feel pinned in as one thing or another. Flowing and pivoting within the arts is so normal, but I don't think it's talked about enough and therefore it may seem like you're not committed enough or like you aren't a real performer because you aren't focusing all of your time on one thing. That's why I'm so excited to have Claudia on the podcast this week! Claudia H. Stein (she/they) is a Mindset and Wellness Coach for dancers. They...
Jan 10, 2022•51 min•Ep 59•Transcript available on Metacast The Next Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop is happening January 17th and we are diving into POWER! When Susanne brought this up to me she expressed how it wasn't until she realized that power meant something bad to her that it made sense why she had been pushing it away. As I began to think about it I too had some negative experiences with power and it was that, that was stopping both of us from claiming our personal power. This is exactly why we want to have an entire workshop on it and in ...

Dec 27, 2021•36 min•Ep 56•Transcript available on Metacast When talking about manifestation it's so easy to get caught up in where you want to go. You have goals and dreams that you are achieving and you have a life that you are creating, but what about your life right now? Are you finding yourself just going through the motions? Have you felt like you're acting on auto pilot? Are you an active participant in your own life or are you just putting your head down, shutting the world out and chasing your goals? This week I am diving into why it i...

Dec 06, 2021•25 min•Ep 54•Transcript available on Metacast This week I'm diving into a crucial part of manifestation. As Manifestation continues to be a buzz word there seems to be a big gap in the process that is being shared.

If this episode resonates with you consider scheduling a Discovery Call with me and let's take an hour to dive into your life and see how ...
Nov 29, 2021•25 min•Ep 53•Transcript available on Metacast At the Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop I guided the group through this meditation to align them into the energy of awareness. I focused on allowing awareness to be a neutral practice that was free of judgement and criticism. So often as artists we use awareness as a tool to point out all of the things that are bad, but what if awareness got to be neutral. What if it didn't have to come with all you're doing wrong? If you enjoy this meditation make sure to share it with a friend and al...

Nov 15, 2021•1 hr 11 min•Ep 51•Transcript available on Metacast As a perfectionist in an industry plagued by perfectionism learning is not something we have been taught how to do. Sure we have learned new skills as children, but once we've entered the professional world how much room is there to learn? Are you allowing yourself the space to be a life long learner in your field? Or have you been telling yourself that you should already know everything because you're a professional? This week I am diving into giving yourself permission to learn and h...

Nov 01, 2021•50 min•Ep 49•Transcript available on Metacast We all know those people who come to class, stake the front and center spot and are just fighting to be seen and validated all class.

Oct 11, 2021•18 min•Ep 46•Transcript available on Metacast As Artists the world tells us that we always need to be working on our craft. It is so easy to let your life revolve around your career and the things you "have to do" to be a "real", "professional" and "good enough" performer.
