"Noah is the absolute joy of our lives, the fact he's still here is down to the amazing staff in Temple St." The world changed for Cork Mother Tracy Kilgannon when her son Noah was diagnosed with one of the rarest conditions in the world. Noah was the 24th person in the world to be diagnosed with TRMU, a rare disease with 16 survivors to date, with Noah soon becoming the 17th. Noah is the 24th known case of the disease in the world. It was the toughest start to life and Tracy spent many, many night by his bedside willing him to pull through. LOOK AT THAT LIDDLE FACE!!!!! He was given 6 months initially... but now he is 2 and a half! And every day he continues to surprise the doctors, nurses and especially his family with his bravery and brilliance! As Tracy herself says: We say every day that we feel like “the luckiest, unlucky people on the planet. That’s why Temple Street means so much to us. It gave us back our baby, it gave our girls back their brother. It put the joy back in all our lives. Noah is the absolute joy of our lives, he is the sweetest most loving little baby, full of mischief and smiles and never far from bursting out laughing.

Today’s episode is especially important and equally personal. This week, Elyse is sitting down with Tracy Dimech, one of Australia’s most trusted and sought-after Psychic Mediums. As a mentor, author, healer, and spiritual teacher, she is dedicated to guiding others in embracing their authentic, spiritual self. She’s here to talk to us about how we can deepen our spiritual connection and incorporate it into the work we do. Bringing spirituality into business seems like a difficult task--they’re two totally different things, right? Not necessarily. In fact, spirituality can become a superpower when you truly tap into it. Tracy grew up hating sales--it felt icky to her. The training she received worked, but it didn't’ align with how she felt. So, she shifted the way she did things--she started feeling her way through things instead of strategizing through them. After her diagnosis with MS and a history of mental illness, Tracy had a moment where she spoke to whoever was listening spiritually. She’s always had a strange connection to people, alive and deceased, but had never leaned on them for herself. In that moment, she noticed that she was surrendering herself to her spirituality. She knew the reason she was there was greater than her. Shortly after, she was informed that she, in fact, didn’t have MS. This was life altering, but gave her the clarity to simply post “Tracy Dimech, Psychic Medium. Now taking bookings.” The fear she felt now became an indicator telling her to do this. This was an opportunity to express faith, give back, understand where she was going, doing what she felt she needed to do. These are all new territories. She started to turn fear into faith. To have that faith, you have to surrender again. It’s a process of feeling fear, having faith, and surrendering. Then, the floodgates were opened. Clients flowed in, Tracy was able to regain her body, life, and spirituality. She had fallen into a place of alignment of her spirituality and professional space. But then, Tracy faced a different challenge--she found herself so invested in this work and due to undercharging people, ended up feeling sick again, clients stopped flowing, and things fell out of alignment. This was a sign to keep moving and make the changes needed before that happened. Undervaluing the energy she was spending was part of this problem. Once she brought her rates back to where she was able to serve not only her clients, but her quality of life, clients and income flowed naturally. There was a clear balance that had to be made. As Tracy puts it: A problem is only given to you if the universe knows you have an answer. In fact, when the pandemic hit in 2020, Tracy tripled her income. As fast as people would cancel bookings, people were filling them. You’re going to attract by feeling and living in a way that feels natural. In doing this, Tracy realized she needed to go to her clients and meet them where they are, and that manifested itself in a book. Writing this book was an act of service to share with others her journey. The key is to connect with your heart space, Tracy says. Our head is the ego that protects us and keeps us safe. What you want to do is get the voice out of the way first. Understand that you have a product or service that you know has value. Your head may insert conflicting ideas and questions and doubts. What you do then, is put your mind in your palm and place it over your heart. Your heart is a spokesperson for your spirit. Whatever it is you’re meant to learn, your spirit will tell you through your heart what it is. Your head, heart, and voice should all talk to each other, saying the same thing, and responding to feelings. The universe will always respond to what you’re feeling. When you start to tell yourself what you’re feeling, it can get distorted. If you’re speaking your truth, the universe will give you truth. If you’re feeling alone, you’ll only attract loneliness if you keep feeling alone. By not honoring that feeling and dealing with it, you’re allowing it to exist--every feeling falls under this principle. The first moment of surrender is acknowledging those feelings.

The principles of being a step-parent or a parent in a blended family are totally different from a normal family. I have been a step-son and a step-Dad. Whilst there can be love and affinity, a step-parent should not try to be a replacement for a biological parent. Rarely will this turn out well.Starting a new relationship after a divorce or separation is desirable for many men and women. Not surprisingly with children and ex-partners though it is rarely easy to make work. It is possible though to create an effective blended family - what you must not do is presume it is going to be easy.Tracy Poizner specialises in working with Step-Moms and Dads in new relationships. I had an amazing level of response from our first podcast cast together where we discussed Dads and how to talk effectively with your ex-wife and children. There simply wasn't time to do the subject of making blended families work so we decided to do this follow-up.You Are The Primary ParentWhat Dad says goes. At least in your house. What your children do when they are with their mother is not really anything you can control or even worry about. Sure if there are well-being and safety concerns but otherwise in most situations, you need to not sweat the small stuff.Back in your own home, the rules of the primary parent are what needs to come first. The step-parent is there to honour these but not get into conflict around them. Sure that can be tricky to navigate. In a well-working parent + step-parent set up though this will all be discussed. Yes, between you and your partner but also with the children. Let them know how it is all going to work and what is expected of them.You do not want your children taking advantage of the step-parent or abusing their role in the family, neither though do you want to place the step-parent in the position of policing your rules. Ultimately this will lead to conflict and resentment - between everyone.Important to note that the step-mom may also have her own children coming into your home. The reverse should work for her. She is the primary parent and you are there to support her, not be a replacement Daddy.Don't Expect A New Partner To Be MumA common mistake made by Dads entering into a new relationship is to expect their new partner to be a replacement Mum. This is basically the same point as above but from a different perspective. Some men will even seek out a new replacement with this goal in mind. It is a big mistake and will unlikely lead to a happy relationship between you and your new partner, or your children and her. Likely it will also rub your ex-partner up the wrong way. Sure to someone who is a natural homemaker they will want their home to be nice, meals will be cooked and maybe even a bedtime story or two will be enjoyed. It is vital though that just because you have a new woman in your life that you do not consider her an instant replacement for all the tasks that your children's Mother took on.You are still a single-parent - or better put, a co-parent. It is down to you to define and live that role. It is very different from the role of Dad in a relationship. It is way more hands-on. There are many many more responsibilities. You have to stay present to your guidelines, rules, values and expectations, and be consistent with them. You can't just go to work and expect step-Mom to take care of it all.As Tracy and I summarise towards the end, a successful step-parent will take on more of the form of a loving Aunt or supportive older sister. Respect this and enjoy it.Communication With Your Ex-PartnerNot every divorced Dad is on speaking terms with his ex. It doesn't take much to argue that it is better for your children that you are. Of course, being out of a hostile or abusive family set up is better for all but in most situations, your children still love you both. This should be nurtured and treated with respect. You may not like each other that much but put the children first. When you are creating a step-parent situation with a new partner and to whatever degree that leads to a blended family, then share this with your ex. Reasure her that you are not seeking to replace them as the children's mother. Be gracious in how you manage the situation and there will be more chance that is reciprocated back to you. Be the difference you want to see.If you enjoy this podcast then be sure to subscribe and leave a review...https://teamsuperdad.com/getpodcastFree Stuff and Links For Tracy Poizner:Divorced Dad survival guideOne For The Dad - Facebook GroupEssential Step Mom - websiteEssential Mom - podcastEssential Mom Facebook GroupTeam Super DadTeam Super Dad gives Dads the tools and confidence to live their life they desire, not the life they feel stuck with.

Are you following Tracy O’Malley? Because if you aren’t already, you certainly will be after this episode. This conversation is so real, inspiring, and incredibly informative. I am so excited to share this episode with you where Tracy and I talk about the Enneagram. Tracy O’Malley is a multi-million dollar entrepreneur, speaker, and author of the book Grace, Grit, Guts: From F*ked Up to Freedom. She is also a world renowned business and performance coach and host of the Becoming Bulletproof Podcast. She has helped thousands of women ignite their purpose, profits, and build a legacy by giving them the tools to Become Bulletproof. As an Expert Enneagram Coach, Tracy has used the Enneagram for over seven years to help accelerate transformation, build powerful, effective, and compassionate leaders and create sustainable and lasting change. Today we are scraping the surface of how the Enneagram can impact our lives. As Tracy says, it isn’t complicated, but it is complex. Today, she unpacks and digs into the Enneagram to help give us the first big step to living our best lives. Tracy also reminds us that “Information doesn’t equal transformation. It’s what we do with the information.” Show Notes: [3:21] - Jill and Tracy are highlighting the Enneagram which was a life changing discovery for Jill. [5:10] - Tracy admits that several years ago she was not the person she is today. She is an intense person but her intensity back then was coming from a place of fear. [5:50] - Tracy shares how she led her life until now based on experiences in her childhood and what she was conditioned to believe about herself as a woman. [6:53] - Ten years ago was the catalyst for change in Tracy’s life when her father died of cancer and she started noticing familiar qualities of herself within her teenagers. [8:04] - The decision to bring her own beliefs down to ground zero was a very humbling experience for Tracy and she checked herself into rehab. [8:40] - While in rehab, she met her therapist who she still sess 9 years later and she had to take an Enneagram test. Tracy was not convinced it was worth her time, but her therapist pushed her to give it a shot. [10:07] - The Enneagram allowed Tracy to see why she made the decisions she had made through a lens of grace and compassion. This is when true transformation can begin. [10:29] - Tracy also left her career in the male-dominated car industry. When she checked into rehab, she also brought her financial stability to ground zero, too. [13:16] - Although Tracy recommends therapy and has been seeing a therapist for many years, she feels that there are too many rules. [15:04] - A lot of people avoid the inner work because it is hard to know where to begin. In Tracy’s case, there was a lot to unpack. [15:22] - There are other tests and methods that help you with this, but what Tracy loves about the Enneagram is it doesn’t just explain the behaviors. [16:36] - The Enneagram is a mix of psychology and spirituality. It lets us look at everything and bring you full circle. [17:41] - The Enneagram is trendy right now and there are a lot of teachers out there sharing the information. But information isn’t enough. [18:36] - Personal development, courses, and “fixes” are great, but they are not sustainable. The Enneagram brings you a healthy awareness and gives you actions and the framework to see change. [20:43] - Life might be working for you. Maybe you don’t have a lot to work through or you have already done the work. The Enneagram is still great for you. [21:46] - With the information gained from the Enneagram, you have a way to navigate through all the “stuff.” [23:39] - Because it is trendy, people aren’t using the Enneagram to self-improve. They tend to find their type and then sometimes use it as a weapon. It is likely inaccurate and Tracy shares how the assessment is just the first step. [25:01] - If you are using the assessment as a tool but you have inaccurate information, you are not using the right compass. [27:02] - There are those of us out there who only surround themselves with the people who keep them comfortable. [28:19] - When Tracy did Jill’s Enneagram test with her, it gave her information and she helped guide Jill to the correct type. Still, others tell Jill that Tracy is wrong. Jill’s behaviors indicate an 8, but Tracy shares that Jill isn’t rooted in a typical 8’s motivation. [29:08] - Tracy breaks down Jill’s Enneagram and what type she is. She also compares her Enneagram type to Jill’s and although they have a lot of similarities, their types are very different. [30:41] - As Tracy got to know Jill, she realized how her motive was completely different than the motives of an 8. [31:38] - Jill’s go-to is guilt. She is very hard on herself and makes herself feel guilty. This is the Perfectionist in her. [32:41] - Tracy shares the healthy and unhealthy traits of Jill’s Enneagram type and the similarities. [33:18] - When in growth, you can take on the strengths of other types even if your motive isn’t rooted in that type. Tracy shares how she is watching Jill take on the healthy traits of a 7: The Enthusiast. [35:47] - Tracy admits that she is not sure that she would still be sober without the Enneagram. [36:36] - When in rehab and reading about her type, Tracy realized that she had been talking to her children as if they were 8’s also. This also led her to the realization that she was unintentionally hurting them. [37:49] - After learning about herself and looking at this test through a lens of compassion, she then read about all of the other types to narrow down the types of her children. [38:22] - Tracy shares the types of her children and how her traits impacted them to make course corrections. [39:47] - Because of the changes in how Tracy communicated with her children from then on, they have a rock solid relationship and her now-grown children are happy and healthy. [40:41] - Tracy also had no career and by using her knowledge of herself and by being aware of her traits, she was able to build a successful marketing business. [42:51] - There are two ways to get started. If you want to take the first step yourself, you can go to the Enneagram Institute’s web page to take the test. Then take the top 4 scores and look at the motives of each one. [43:28] - Don’t look at just behaviors. This is how a lot of people are mistyped. 60-75% of first tests are not accurate. [45:01] - Tracy also hosts a podcast that has many episodes that are Enneagram inspired. [47:29] - There are 9 basic types and we are all driven by either truth, significance, or certainty. We use all of them, but one of them is dominant. [48:11] - Tracy breaks down the basics of each type to give a little bit of an understanding of motives. [52:41] - The Enneagram helps you make sense of that puzzle piece that keeps showing up that you can’t put together. I know there was something in this episode that you were meant to hear. Let me know what that is. Thank you for being here today with me on our healing journeys.

My guest today is Tracy Belcher, the founder and managing editor of the popular Pilates blog and brand, Pilatay. Tracy is a classical Pilates instructor, Franklin Method teacher and former marketing and communications professional. And though Tracy is completely obsessed with classical Pilates, she says it has a public relations problem - actually two. Problem #1 - An awareness issue: People do not understand what classical Pilates is and what makes it different from its contemporary sister. Problem #2 - An image issue: There is a perception of elitism and exclusivity. As Tracy explains, “This generation of Pilates teachers and students don’t care about past drama, it’s a turn off. We just want to learn the work.”

“I have used the Enneagram for eight years in every aspect of my life, and it has moved the needle in all areas of my life, in ways I never would have imagined a decade ago.” That is Tracy O'Malley, my guest on this episode of the “Course Change” podcast.Tracy is multi-million dollar entrepreneur, speaker, and author. I talk with her about how she's used the Enneagram personality typing process to accelerate transformation, build effective and compassionate leaders and create sustainable and lasting change. When you're going through change, it's important to have an understanding of your own strengths and personality. Tools like Meyers-Briggs, the DISC profile, Strength Finder and the Enneagram help you better understand your own innate strengths.As Tracy shares, “It all begins with you. If you can lead yourself and how you show up in the world; if you are coming from a place of truth and love, that is going to radiate out into the world. And the ripple effect of that is you'll start to attract a different kind of people into your life. You'll start to attract a different kind of abundance in your life.”More About TracyWebsite: TracyOMalley.comInstagram: @tracy_omalleyPodcast Episode #56 The Enneagram TypesMore About ThorWebsite: thorchallgren.comOn Instagram: @thorchallgrenOn Facebook: Facebook.com/coursechangepodcast
Tracy Verdugo If Tracy Verdugo was given the opportunity to coin a term for a new art movement based around what she teaches she might call it “Curiosity and Wonderism” or maybe “Loosen-upism” or “Endless possibilitism”. When she is not hanging out with her family in their artsy adobe home in a small village on the shores of Jervis Bay, Australia, or throwing paint around in her little purple studio in their backyard, you may find her painting beside thermal pools on an Italian island with an eager group of students, Aperol Spritz in one hand, paintbrush in the other, or sitting in a circle on St Pete Beach, Florida, listening intently as women share their stories of creative longing. Tracy is an inspiration instigator, prolific painter, bestselling author and lover of the written word, smitten traveler and soaker up of all that is beauty-full.

Tracy Frey, Atari Birthday Girl There's an article in the New York Times, dated April 9, 1982: "8-Year-Old's Birthday Party in a Computer Center." The story, written by Barbara Gamareklin, is about the birthday party of Tracey Pizzo — now Tracey Frey — which took place at the Capital Children's Museum in Washington, DC. Quoting the article: Tracy Pizzo decided that Chunky’s Cheese Pizza Parlor was not the place for her eighth birthday party after all. She chose the Future Center of the Capital Children’s Museum, where her 13 guests were able to try their hand at the video games on 20 Atari 800 microcomputers. Without waiting to remove their coats and jackets, the girls, most of them 6 to 8 years old, rushed toward the glowing multicolored screens. In no time they were engrossed in computer games — from Asteroids and Find Hurkle to Lemonade Stand. "Go, Megan, go!" cried 6-year-old Enid Maran, who was still wearing her black kid gloves. "We have to explode those little stars." Megan Thaler worked her control lever and sent a stream of blue and red simulated antiaircraft fire across the screen in the direction of a small green airplane. Tracy’s mother, Peggy Pizzo, said that Tracy’s older sister, Cara, had been to the Future Center on a school field trip "and Tracy got so excited when she heard about it that she insisted we have a computer birthday party.” ... "Tracy said the reason she wanted to come was because her friends liked to push buttons," said 11-year-old Cara, who had baked the white birthday cake with pink frosting that had "Eight" spelled out in strawberries. "What is your name?" the Birthday Banner computer asked. "And how old are you now? Are you a boy or a girl?" As Tracy typed in the answers and her friends serenaded her with “Happy Birthday,” a five-foot computer tape slowly emerged from the machine, reading in letters six inches tall: "Happy Birthday Tracy."... Tracy, aided by her friends, Katherine Herz and Annamaria Hibbs, tried out her entrepreneurial skills at Lemonade Stand. ... Tracy played Hangman with her father, Dr. Philip Pizzo. She said, "Make it hard, but not too hard," as she closed her eyes and her father entered the word "Christmas" for her to guess, each incorrect guess slowly forming a hangman’s noose on the screen.... Asteroids is the only noneducational game offered in the computer room... Computer birthday parties cost $5 a person, with a minimum of eight in a party... As for Tracy Pizzo, as she and her friends filed down the hall to the balloon-festooned party room for ice cream, cake and presents, she pronounced the day "just perfect." (end quote) In 1981, Atari donated 30 Atari computer systems to the Capital Children's Museum. The contribution allowed the museum to establish the Future Center "computer learning environment", to put computer programs in exhibits, and to create a software development lab. By the way, the Capital Children's Museum still exists — it's now called the National Children's Museum, but there probably aren't any Atari computers around to play with anymore. This interview took place on June 26, 2020.

HP has over 55,000 employees and like many other companies around the world they had to pivot to working virtually during COVID-19. HP was able to adapt very quickly and they have a lot of unique programs and tools in place to support their employees. Leading the way is Tracy Keogh, their Chief HR Officer and co-chair of the World Economic Forum’s global task force for Future of Work. Tracy and I talked at length in a recent episode of "The Future of Work With Jacob Morgan." How to maintain a culture in a virtual setting Many leaders may be trying to figure out how to maintain corporate culture when all of the employees who are used to coming into the office every day now find themselves working from home. Tracy says, “I actually think you can maintain your culture. It's with every action and every program that you do even if you're not in the same office. I don't think I've ever seen our culture more alive or evident than during this pandemic. People are very attentive during these times. So I feel like you need to put culture first, as you're thinking about any activities or decisions that you're making.” A few examples of the things they put into place to help employees working from home include: Homework clubs--When employees moved to work from home Tracy interviewed 4 teachers so employees could listen in and learn from them. Then they broke up into homework clubs led by teachers to assist parents trying to navigate home education Themed days-- Motivational Mondays, Training Tuesdays, Wellness Wednesdays, Thoughtful Thursdays, and Family & Friends Fridays. Weekly call with medical director who answers questions from employees about issues related to health, wellness, & COVID-19. Online cooking classes A global dance party-- They hired a DJ and had a 12 hour dance party starting in one timezone and working its way across the world for all employees. Another crucial component here is leaders who are practicing empathy and emotional intelligence. As Tracy and I talked about, now is an important time for leaders to be human beings first and business leaders second. For example, one of the leaders at HP held a meeting where the employees all had their kids on their lap. The idea here is to take as much of the in-person aspect as you can and move it to the virtual world, but then organizations must build on top of those things with intentionally designed activities and programs. Digitization and re-skilling One of the biggest trends Tracy is currently paying attention to is digitization and re-skilling. Realizing this is important, HP has been focused on evolving the knowledge base of their employees. Tracy believes talent development in general looks very different now than it has in the past. She says, “I think we're moving more towards skills-focused versus role focus people, because people move in and out of different roles, but it's those skills that we need moving forward so that we really want athletes who can apply their different skills to solve problems in different ways, depending on the environment and the business challenge.” HP has also changed the way employees learn. While training is important, they realize that experience and projects play an important role in how employees learn new skills. The company works with employees to map out their career path to figure out what experiences and projects are best suited to where they want to go. During COVID-19 HP actually took their merchandisers (who work in retail stores showing customers equipment and helping them make product and software decisions) and had them help with their customer service and support teams. HP wanted to find a way to keep these employees paid and on-staff so they focused on the skills that these employees and found other roles where those skills could easily be translated to. HP did the same thing with interns, moving them to a virtual setting (and keeping them paid). Overcoming difficult times There’s no doubt we are facing uncertain times, but it is up to us as individuals to decide how we are going to come out on the other side. Tracy says, “Try to look at the positive of the situation. This is an incredible learning opportunity. This is unprecedented in the world's history, that the whole world has had this kind of issue happen at the same time. And so taking some time and stepping back and thinking about what you've learned, how you've grown, what you've done well, what you wish you were better equipped to do and then figuring out, 'Okay, well, this is what I've learned about myself during this time. Then how do I look moving forward, to make myself smarter, stronger, more resilient, better, and what can I do in the future?' I think it's an amazing learning time. One of the things that I've given as gifts to most of my friends' children is a journal. Just to take time to write, it'll be something historic later on. When you look back that you were there in the pandemic of 2020, and what your thoughts and feelings were. I think taking that inventory and understanding that for people is important, and then looking back and seeing what you've learned and then how it propelled you forward, I think it will be really kind of the best thing to do about this. Take advantage of the opportunity." For leaders trying to navigate these times, Tracy’s advice is to connect with your people and show your leadership. Communication and listening to employees is key. HP has been taking frequent poll surveys to ensure all employees are supported and feel engaged. She says it is critical, especially in these times, to be transparent and open with employees. Even if you have tough messages to share. Empathy is also very important for leaders to show in this time.

The first time Tracy Letts participated in a community theater play, he knew he found something special. At school, Tracy was shy and had a hard time connecting with his peers, so when he discovered the comradery surrounding the theater, he finally felt embraced by a community. His talent for acting came later, when his father, also an actor, taught him the power of speaking simply rather than proclaiming. As Tracy says, “I went onstage, and I said my lines simply and truthfully. It was my first real acting lesson. Speaking truthfully in a room has great impact—everyone can feel it. After that, I was hooked.”After graduating from high school, Tracy was eager to start his life and decided against going to college. He landed in Chicago, which had a rich and booming theater scene. When he wasn’t auditioning, he filled his free time writing, a passion of his ever since he was young. Killer Joe, a play about a brutal and murderous family in Texas, was Tracy’s first attempt, and it became a massive success.In the years since, Tracy has continued to write and act. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his play August: Osage County, based on his own family, and in addition to his acting work on stage, he’s been in a number of projects on TV and in film, such as Homeland, Lady Bird, and most recently, Ford v Ferrari. There’s an empathy that suffuses all of Tracy’s work, and it all stems from his desire to achieve self-acceptance. As he says, “It’s hard to give yourself a break, isn’t it? You can’t just decide to do it. It’s not an act of will. It takes actual work, whether that means getting sober, getting into therapy, writing or acting in plays, or paying attention and really listening to other people.”Tracy joins Off Camera to talk about working with his father in August: Osage County, how theater provokes vulnerability, and why his career trajectory basically comes down to chasing a girl.
Take a deep dive into the rapid growth of the indie sector, one of the seismic shifts that gained the most attention at the Music Tectonics Conference. Our guide to this shifting terrain is Tracy Maddux, CEO of AVL Digital Group, the parent company of CD Baby, AdRev and DashGo, which all provide DIY Musicians with trusted tools for distribution, marketing, and monetization. Being independent doesn’t mean being alone: learn how Merlin, A2IM, and other organizations unite indie players to multiply their advocacy and negotiating power with governmental bodies and DSPs. As Tracy explains, indie growth is not just about scale. It's about options, audiences, and working together. Tracy places independent music’s growing market share in the context of the music biz and beyond, and shows how that growth interacts with other trends like globalization and the crumbling of the mainstream to shake up power structures. Get a deeper understanding of Mark Mulligan’s prediction in last week’s podcast that the rise of the self-empowered artist will be a more powerful shift than music streaming!

The latest of Disney’s live action remakes, Aladdin was released on Memorial Day weekend. This new version of the 1990s classic stars Will Smith as the Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, and Naomi Scott as Jasmine. As Tracy, Val, and Jake take a look at this new film, the question is asked: Does it live up to the original?Released in 1992, Disney’s animated Aladdin was right in the middle of the Disney animation renaissance, along with films like Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King. With memorable songs and an iconic performance by Robin Williams as the Genie, this film quickly became a beloved classic.Our three cohosts discuss the new film and compare it to the original. Was there enough nostalgia, or maybe too much? Did it do enough to stand out from the original and be its own story? Was Will Smith able to fill Robin Williams’ shoes in one of his most memorable roles? The team is somewhat divided on these issues, but they all agree that by and large, this film is worth seeing and is overall a lot of fun.What did you think of the new Aladdin? Was it a whole new world, or just the same old, same old? Let us know. You can send that feedback as well as any other feedback for any of our episodes and any requests for future episodes to podcast@moviesthatmakeus.com.

Are you self-conscious about the sound of your own voice? Do you hesitate to speak up for fear that you won't sound confident? If you struggle to accept the sound of your voice, then today's episode is for you. Today I'm speaking with Tracy Goodwin, voice coach and owner of Captivate the Room. Tracy has dedicated her career to helping people connect with their authentic voices. In addition to working with performers and actors, Tracy also does extensive work with leaders and Professionals in the corporate space, helping them connect with the truest and most authentic version of their own voices. One of my absolute favorite things about Tracy's work is that her method does not emphasize changing our voice, but rather, Tracy helps her clients uncover the voice that is most authentic to them. As Tracy will share, we often hide behind vocal mechanisms and ways of speaking that are not true to who we are. This can make it more challenging for us to have impact and for us to express ourselves and our ideas effectively. If you’ve listen to the show before, you know that authenticity is core value of the show, and Tracy's work is rooted in uncovering the authentic sound of each person’s voice. In this conversation, you will learn how to unpeel the layers of fear that may be keeping you from tapping into the most authentic version of your voice, and uncover how you can express confidence and authenticity through the sound of your voice. Tracy shares insights and advice on how to be more confident in our voices, and she explains the connection between how we feel and how our voice sounds. She also shares the basic building blocks of vocal variety and explains how we can use these to have more impact when we speak. I absolutely loved connecting with Tracy, and if you want to learn more about her I highly recommend checking out her work at https://captivatetheroom.com/. Tracy also has a podcast called Captivate the room: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-past-your-story-and-finding-your-voice-with-jessica/id1091333779?i=1000438941257 Thank you so much for listening, and as always, feel free to reach out or submit a listener question to me on Instagram at @theartofspeakingup

Women Rocking Wall Street - A podcast dedicated to women in financial services
Confidence isn’t in our DNA—it’s something we learn. Talk about a great piece of advice from Tracy Hooper, founder of The Confidence Project, who’s here on today’s episode to teach us all about exuding more assuredness. Tracy’s background is interesting to say the least, with experience in TV reporting, voice-over work and hotel management. All the skills she learned from these jobs were critical to The Confidence Project, she says. Today she’s offering us some of her best tips for being more confident and, in turn, positively affecting our professional and personal lives. This is especially important for women, as there seems to be a considerable gender gap when it comes to confidence. Even things as seemingly small as improving our posture and body language can have a big effect on our confidence and ultimately on our workplace success. As Tracy says, there’s a reason Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk about power poses is the second most-watched TED talk segment of all time, with 20 million viewers. If you enjoyed today’s episode of Women Rocking Wall Street or have suggestions for future topics, please let me know in comments below! I’d love to hear from you.
