"It is so important, I think, to name the inner voice. Mine is named Lennie, he's kind of a jerk, but also, Lennie needs support" - Elise B

Amanda brings on her friend and Vocal Warrior, Elise Besler. Elise is a Voice Teacher and Voice Empowerment Coach based in Halifax NS Canada. She has an extensive performing career as a singer songwriter, and is the creator and founder of her Voice and Voice Empowerment training facility, Nusong Studio. Elise believes in the power of the human voice to heal and create change. She works with Singers and Public Speakers to help them gain skill and confidence and overturn limiting beliefs to own their voices and rock the mic!

In today's episode, they discuss:

How to identify, name and manage that every present "inner critic". They discuss what is the purpose of the inner critic and how to handle it when it invades your thoughts or actions.
Elise shares about how she treats her "inner voice" in a way that you might not expect!
They talk about how to use our voice to say yes or no to the things we want to ACTUALLY say yes or no to...in an honest and authentic way.
Elise discusses the importance of making sure the boundaries you set around yourself are yours and not those of your inner voice. You get to control of what you let in and out.
Are you afraid of conflict? Then listen as they both dive a bit into how to have non-violent communication during disagreements in a way that benefits both people, even if you’re insanely angry. This is very timely when wanting to use our voices to call out racial injustice. To practice this skill, she recommends a book called "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshal Rosenberg.
And again, in what seems to be tradition, the topic of vaginas comes up yet again through ow they can help us project emotion though sounds!
