Imagine … 

You’re gathered around a table with your family. 

Eating food. Drinking drinks. 

When all of a sudden, the family friction starts to bubble up: 

     “Why aren’t you married yet?

     “When are you gonna get a real job?”

     “Have you put on weight?”

What’s happening in your body as you imagine that? 

What’s going on with your breath? 

How about your energy?

Now, notice your voice. 

     What voice do you use with your family? 

How does it compare to the one you use with your closest friends?

How does it compare to the one you use in your work environment? 

How does it compare to the one you use on a stage?

The challenges that we face on stage show can show up in other ways throughout our lives. 

Our soul suckers, our inner protectors, and our inner child are all still a part of us – anxious to take the wheel and do what they’ve always done, 

The masks that we wear to survive (that also create our speaker alter egos) sometimes rear their ugly heads. 

Those soul suckers and masks were born when we were younger. 

They were born when we were with our families. 

Shining a light on how we are with our family can create a ripple effect of awareness and transformation throughout our lives onto the stage and back in the other direction. 

Tune in to this week’s episode of Soulful Speaking – Find Your Voice at the Family Table – to dive even deeper into the family waters and set yourself free. 

Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

With love & passion,

PS: This is my last full episode of 2024. I’m releasing it a week early so you have time to process before you might be with your family for the Holidays. I’ll be back in January 2025 with new episodes. (And you might catch a mini-sode in the meantime). 

Happy Holidays!!! ❄️
