We're diving into one of the best conversations we could be having -- a discussion about the EGO! (Not to be confused with the adjective 'egotistical,' which means something entirely different.)All humans have egos -- it's *natural.* The ego is made up of our thoughts, stories, beliefs, and labels that we have about life. It simply wants to protect us. But this can easily lead to anger, isolation, fear, insecurity, depression, and judgement of others. When we live purely by our ego's voice, we deny the potential of our human spirit.In this episode, you'll learn the difference between your ego and your soul. Which one does the talking?

If you've been feeling out of alignment lately, this episode is for you.Having time to rest & reset is a beautiful thing. But here's a hint: taking a break does NOT mean spending time scrolling through social media or news feeds. Quite the opposite!

In this episode, I'm sharing my story! (A rare occasion. ;))As a singer born into a family of musicians, discovering my whole voice has been quite the journey. From performing as an opera singer, choral artist, and pop artist in Southern California to drastically losing my voice during my vocal graduate studies, the definition of the word ‘voice' has taken many meanings in my life.I've had to learn an important lesson as a singer: my voice is not my identity.While undergoing an intensive recovery gaining strength back in my vocal cords, I began the practice of tuning inward to listen to my inner voice. In the space of silence came the revelations that led me to where I am today.If you've ever felt stuck, unsure of your purpose, or trapped by the obligations of your life, you'll surely resonate with this episode.My hope is that this story inspires you to slow down, follow your intuition (rather than what's expected of you), and trust that life has a big, beautiful plan for you — despite any challenges that come your way.WATCH THE EPISODE ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfG7nKxk2EQ&t=17sConnect with me online:Website: https://www.thewholevoice.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewholevoice_Blog: https://www.thewholevoice.com/blog
