On my birthday, however, my sweet Eliza Doolittle decided it was time to take a journey without me, and a light in me dimmed. April 1st, just two days after my birthday and two months shy of 19 years, my five pound sassy calico found her way over the rainbow bridge and something changed in me, which is why I'm sharing this with you, because I have a feeling, if you've ever loved and lost a pet, you're going to resonate with what I'm about to share with you. It took me some time to sit down and record this episode. I have to be honest, I needed some time to step away. To be honest, I needed some time to step away. I needed to process this loss and I really needed to allow myself to see where this was going to hit me, because, while I have had pets my entire life since I was a little girl in fact, I don't really know that many years without having a pet in my home, nothing was quite like Eliza. She was mine and I was hers, and for close to two decades, I made this commitment to protect her, to love her, to care for her, and that came with some responsibilities Responsibilities I have never known before. Responsibilities, responsibilities I have never known before. It was level up, it was different, and the feelings that go along with that kind of responsibility, that kind of love, were different too. So, after sharing with those who are closest with me about her passing my family, my friends, my Hug it Out Collective, even colleagues and clients I realized that community is where we really find our healing, and it's a reminder that we were never alone in this battle. Right, even if the responsibilities are different, even if there are hours and hours alone, even if they were just for us to bear, we're really never doing it all by ourselves, because someone you know or yourself has been through it, and I want to share with you just how common it is. 02:40 It's estimated that more than half of the global population has a pet at home. That's over half a billion dogs and cats, and in the US, 70% of households in 2021 were pet owners, and since the pandemic, the amount of pet adoptions is on the rise, thankfully. So I know I'm not alone when I share that these numbers, no matter what type of pet you have, be it fur, feathers, fins or scales. You likely have, or you have, faced pet loss. And isn't that the rub To know that you will love an animal so much, knowing that it's likely they will leave this world before you and we know that, going into it too right. I know I did, and yet I still loved. And when the time is right, somewhere down the road, I will again, because that's what we do as pet parents. We open our hearts again and again, just not now, not yet. Just not now, not yet. 03:50 So with that in mind, I thought I would share my story about Miss Eliza Doolittle and some thoughts I have about grief, what I've learned from my time with Lizzy Girl, and some possibilities for us as we go forward on this journey, plus a chance for you to share your story on an upcoming episode.

So how did Miss Eliza Doolittle come into my life? It's quite a sweet story. Actually. 04:59 It was Thanksgiving Day, 2005. And I was coming home from Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house and I was driving along in my old Jeep, grand Cherokee. Louise and I pass a hotel and I noticed something moving as I'm about to pass a storm drain and I noticed it was like a little calico puff and I saw its little mouth opening and closing. And let me tell you, I wasn't going that fast, but it was enough for me to know that there was a kitten that was sitting there by that storm drain and I instantly called my friend who was in the car in front of me and I said I gotta turn around. There is a kitten and I don't think it's going to last the winter if it stays out here. Within 30 seconds to a minute. I had turned around, went into the parking lot because I didn't see the kitten at the storm drain. But I heard her and fortunately I had leftovers in my car and I looked under every car in that hotel parking lot right near the storm drain and there she was, hiding underneath the truck. And somehow, with love and care, I was able to force her to come out from underneath the truck because, well, I imagined she was hungry and I had plenty of turkey. And then I put a towel around her, grabbed her and put her in my car. 06:28 What in the world am I going to do with a kitten? I was not in any kind of a situation to have a cat. I was in a relationship with someone who was highly allergic to cats. So I knew that I had a job to do, and hopefully it would be to find this sweet little kitten a home. But in the two weeks that I had her, nobody came forward. I went to every vet in the area and somehow in those two weeks, those 14 days, I fell in love with this cat and I have a feeling she did the same. So in a way I would say she saved me as much as I saved her, because during that time of my life it was quite difficult what I was going through. 07:12 I guess things just show up for you at just the right time and I always joke that she's the longest relationship I've ever had. She has gone well beyond both of my long-term relationships. She has traveled more miles with me, crossed more states with me and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. She has had books written about her and chapters, artwork, poems, commercials that she's done. Have you ever seen the Blue Buffalo commercial? That's her. She's been on numerous podcasts, including sitting right behind me and sometimes in my lap. She's joined me in private sessions and even showed up while I was professing with my college students. And, yes, she's been the subject of many social media posts. So it's kind of hard to know life with Hilary without Eliza Doolittle. 08:07 But as we know, with the years come slowing down and this past year I started seeing signs of her decline. It was happening slowly. I kind of knew over the last year or two that time with her would be even more precious than it was before. And the past few months things started to accelerate. The cancer in my sweet little Calico was starting to show in her face and I found myself feeling the stress, feeling the sickness. It was a fight or flight for me, much like when you're around a sick family member you feel it, you absorb it and you're constantly on alert. And that was a difficult place to be and it absorbed a lot of my headspace, my mental space and my bandwidth was not where it used to be because so much of my intention was on Eliza. 09:14 So the time came when things really took a turn. On my birthday, March 30th, Eliza told me it was time and my boyfriend, Chris, just happened to be here because we were getting ready to celebrate my birthday that morning. She really made her presence known, that things were really getting difficult. I remember thinking that I don't have this right. You know, I went through a lot of grief before the grief actually set in and grief turned into guilt Because I thought who am I to take away a life? You know, in the perfect world you want your animal, your pet, your fur baby to just kind of curl up in your arms and take its last breath. Naturally right, but that's not the way it always happens and cats are notoriously strong to where they don't really even let you know that they're sick or they have signs of illness. 10:17 That day it was a turning point for me because I saw that she was beginning to suffer and I wasn't really sure how long it would be. And I remember making an agreement in a way with my vet some months prior that this would be a decision that I would need help with, because I really struggled with the guilt of taking that life, still hoping somewhere in the back of my mind that she would just pass on her own. And I said, when it comes to the time where you think that this could be consuming her or taking away her quality of life, I really just need the honesty. And I got that. I got that that day and I had a moment with Eliza that was almost like an approval, you know, I don't really know how to explain it, but I had the weekend with her. The decision was made and lots of emotions were shared. 11:30 The night before, Eliza shared a beautiful salmon dinner with Chris and myself. It was really a beautiful evening, a little candlelight dinner, and she got so many treats and so much love and attention. I don't even know if she can get more than she normally gets, but that night was really special and the morning came and we took her to the vet and she was in my arms and surrounded by her little babies and flowers, and I had my hand on her paws the whole time. Chris was caressing her little face and then, at some point, when I knew that time was close, I had my hand on her heart and there's something really powerful about being witness but also feeling that last heartbeat. It was spiritual, it was beautiful and I don't think I'll ever forget that. But in that moment I felt like I was truly connected to her in a different way as she crossed, and I'm really thankful for that. 12:54 So after all was said and done, I realized I needed to step away a little bit and I was fortunate to spend some time with my boyfriend, chris, and I went to his home in Virginia and just decided to do a little grieving there. It was really a wonderful opportunity for me to go through these stages of grief, and I'm sure there's still more go through these stages of grief and I'm sure there's still more. But I went from the grief to the guilt and then somewhere in there there was a shift to gratitude which took me back a few years, to the time I first wrote about Eliza in a book that was published and it was part of my friend Chris Palmore's book called Dear Gratitude, an anthology, a book that holds space for so many beautiful gratitude stories. And you might remember Chris because he was on episode 17, if , sharing his own grief journey, and it about the loss of his mother and it's interesting how we should circle back to that right. But I was fortunate to share, on page 21 7 of Dear Gratitude, the story of Eliza Doolittle and how she got her name and basically the story you heard here. But I called it Gratitude is Loverly because loverly and my fair lady, if you get the reference, and that's basically how Eliza got her name, because I pretty much found her in a gutter, just like in my Fair Lady, and I thought it was a really beautiful story to share. But I'm so grateful to Chris for giving me that opportunity to share the story of Eliza in his book Dear Gratitude. 14:40 And again, if you are interested in that episode, it is 17. And I'll put that in the podcast notes for you and when it comes down to it, you really have to think about it. It really is all about gratitude, isn't it? In some way or another, gratitude, after all, is part of the Hug it Out way. Right, if you want to join the Hug it Out collective that I have the Facebook group you'll find weekly themes and challenges in a safe place that supports the traumas to triumphs. And let me tell you, this week that group really showed their colors and showed up for me by supporting my grief, my trauma showed their colors and showed up for me by supporting my grief, my trauma. So you can check the notes of this episode to join us in that group and just see for yourself. 15:26 But I do have so much gratitude, so much gratitude for all of you who have been part of her life in one way or another, even those who just saw her on camera for the first time or in a podcast episode maybe her Blue Buffalo commercials, whatever, wherever. I'm just grateful that you connected to her in some way through me. And then, of course, those that I shared this with those closest to me, like my mom. She loved that cat and she used to say, oh, kitty's coming to grandma's house, whenever she would watch her, she would call it the country home and it was really sweet to see the connection they had, because she too loved and lost pets my entire life. So that was something my mom and I shared, you know, and even recently, you know, she became a pet parent again after some time without a pet and I'm really glad she has that. Of course, my boyfriend, chris, for having some bond that I still haven't quite figured out In such a short amount of time on this planet, knowing Eliza. They had a bond like no other. And let me tell you, if you have a calico they're very temperamental, they're very territorial and they're very spicy, but somehow that cat got to his heart and he got to hers and it was really beautiful to see. And I have really good friends, really good friends who have been there for me along the way, and I hope you have that in your life too. If you have loved and lost a pet or lost anything that you've loved in your life to have, that support can be very helpful. I know my vet and everyone who got to know this spicy little calico. I have to say thank you to them for just being there and being a support system and, of course, you just for being here to support me and giving me the permission to press record and share and know that you're tuning in. So thank you for that. 17:33 But back to this week. During this week I found myself watching a lot of YouTube videos on how to connect with your pets from beyond, how to change your frequency and be present. I did a lot of writing, I did a lot of soul searching and I really spent my time in Virginia disconnecting to reconnect Because, like I said, said so much of my emotional bandwidth was really absorbed by Eliza's illness and not really being able to separate from that and it was kind of like giving me the ability to take a breath that I hadn't taken in a really long time. But I had a moment. It happened when I was at Chris's house. It was the first morning I was there after we arrived and there was a trundle bed in the guest room where Eliza loved to sleep in the drawer which was filled with linens. She really made that area her home. In fact I'm not really even sure that the linens have been touched in there because it was just so Eliza right, but I remember that morning opening a drawer and I could still see tiny little calico hairs in there Not too much because she was a very clean cat, but you could see the impression from her body that was on top of a blanket that she had probably been sleeping on and my heart just sank. 19:15 I remember just being on my knees and putting my hands in the drawer and putting my head down and I sat there for a minute just being so grateful to have her in my life. And I don't know how and I can't explain it, but I felt something brush my ankle, my leg, as if it was her little tail that was brushing by. I was wearing shorts, so it didn't quite make sense to me. There was no fabric around me and I just kind of went huh and smiled and just let it be. You know, not everything has to be explained, and I realized that some things just don't need to be explained, right, they just are just like our pets, they don't look for explanations, they just are there, awesome, authentic, organic selves. So it got me thinking on how, the last 19 years, what I've witnessed with Eliza has been the utmost amount of awesomeness and, frankly, with the other animals that have been in my life as well, and the lessons that I've learned as a pet parent, and I really had to stop and think for a moment that I've truly witnessed some amazing things from the being that she is and other animals have been in my life. 20:55 And that's where I want to take this episode is to leave you with the top 10 things I've learned from my life with Eliza, and that number one thing is you've got to find the sunshine. I know every time I would turn around, that cat was looking for sunshine, she was basking in the sun, she was sleeping in the sun. She would find that ray just coming through a window and it could be on a floor and she was there. And it's just a reminder how easy it is to find the sunshine if we're just present in the moment. And that leaves me to number two be present and be still the being over the doing is really why we're here, isn't it? And animals do that. They just are so organic about being and we're just too much in the doing, and I share more about that on episode 128. I'll put that in the podcast notes as well, on the importance of being a human being over human doing. 22:06 Number three is play Adulting gets the best of us, doesn't it? So I want you to stop as often as you can and laugh and play and find that childish enthusiasm that lives within you. Without a care in the world, animals just play. They don't worry about what other animals are thinking, they just are. I learned that no matter how upset I am in a situation, it doesn't need to consume me. That's number four. Be in that place where you can move forward, just like the animals around you move forward Just like the animals around you. They don't spend time in the upset, they just keep moving forward. I learned to let your guard down to trust, and if you've ever spoken to your pet in a childlike voice or as if they are a child, you know exactly what I'm talking about. They aren't judging you, so why are you judging yourself? Just trust that you're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing. 23:21 Number six I learned that we're all just walking each other home. I know I say that often, but I use that here because it makes such perfect sense. But when you think about it that way that we're all just walking each other home on this planet, no matter what kind of being we are, we become kinder beings. I learned that in grief beings I learned that in grief we find one another and we share the most vulnerable and beautiful parts of ourselves. It's a reminder of the power of community, right? If you've ever seen animals together, how they play, how they laugh, how they cuddle, it's just so easy to find that comfort and support. We need that too. We need that too. 24:14 I learned the importance of sleep from that cat Now cats I hear sleep up to like 19 hours a day. I would imagine that's just about right when I think about my time with Eliza and she seems pretty refreshed when she gets up right, just does her thing. But it's just about right when I think about my time with Eliza and she seems pretty refreshed when she gets up right, just does her thing. But it's just a reminder to me that sleep is so important for our well-being. So be sure that you're getting good rest, just like your pets. 24:45 Number nine find your people or your person. I know I've said this before. I said it earlier in this podcast episode. Eliza saved me as much as I saved her. I became her person. I don't think that was accidental. And number 10, I think, is really important, if not the most important. 25:09 I've learned that you need to love without condition. You need to love without fear and worry. And when you do this and you just let go and realize that being vulnerable is being courageous, you are just allowing yourself to be the most pure sense of self by loving. And in time grief will come, but that grief will turn to gratitude when you remember that loving is a reason to be grateful, even if it was only for a short time, because love will always fill your home again. You're just that kind of person. You're that kind of person. I'm that kind of person. And somewhere out there an animal is going to want to call you their own, want to call you their own, and maybe, just maybe, they'll be sent to you from someone or something that has loved you from before in your past. When you think about it that way, it's heart opening. 26:22 In closing, I imagine you've connect with this episode in some way, shape or form. And if you do you've connect with this episode in some way, shape or form and if you do, if it did resonate with you in any way, I would love to know and I'd also love to offer you an opportunity to share your story about your special pet on an upcoming episode In the sharing in the community, we do find that we are never truly alone. So what I'm asking you to do is pretty simple and kind of fun. I would love for you to go to speakpipe dot com slash hilisticallyspeaking. I'll put this in the listen notes and share your voice and your story about a pet that you have loved any point in your life. Really, it could be one that you connected with as a child to more recently, but in sharing about them you're keeping their spirit alive. 27:14 You know, miss Eliza might not be here on this earth in this moment, sitting on this lap or behind me on my chair in this moment, but she's with me. I will continue to share her stories. I'm sure she's going to come up again and I would love that for you as well. So just press record, share your journey, and then you can take it one step further and share a picture of you with your pet, so that when I release the episode, that memory will be remembered, along with your voice and your story. And once you record, once you go to speakpipe dot com, I will personally reach out to you to share details on how you can share that photo and get in on the show. 27:53 Do yourself a favor. Give that special being that gave you so much unconditional love a moment in the spotlight. I look forward to hearing your stories, seeing your connection, and I imagine others will as well. So, on that note, thank you for showing up, for tuning in, for being part of my journey, allowing me to feel safe and vulnerable to share my story, this episode. I leave you with the words that you probably have heard before and they are quite memorable from Winnie the Pooh, heard before, and they are quite memorable from Winnie the Pooh how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. That's the gratitude right there until next time. I love you, I believe in you and I appreciate your open heart. Be well.
As a March baby myself, there's an extra spring in my step when this month rolls around, not just for the promise of longer days but for celebrating the indomitable spirit of women throughout history. But what about our own stories of triumph and the quiet impact we've made? That's the heart of our latest chat, where we turn the spotlight inward and take a deep dive into the importance of the words we use and choose and the thoughts and worries that determine our day. I got real about the inner battles we all face, like stress, self-doubt, and that nagging inner critic that's all too familiar. I share my journey of overcoming these hurdles with insights into neuroscience, and discuss how changing our mindset can dramatically alter our relationship with stress. Plus, a giveaway for one lucky listener and a bonus meditation to close our conversation. In honor of Women's History Month, I'm giving one woman that chance to work with me for free. Just schedule your session and mention you heard about it on the podcast. https://hilaryrusso.as.me/hugitout Connect with Hilary: https://www.instagram.com/hilaryrusso https://www.youtube.com/hilaryrusso https://www.facebook.com/hilisticallyspeaking https://twitter.com/HilaryRusso https://www.tiktok.com/@hilisticallyspeaking https://www.hilaryrusso.com/podcast Music by Lipbone Redding https://lipbone.com/ ----- EPISODE CHAPTERS WITH SHORT KEY POINTS ------ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro about March and Honoring the Divine Feminine 0:45 Confronting the inner bully, worries and self-doubt 1:06 Hilary shares her personal story and the If/Then Game 3:33 Relate. React. Respond. 4:48 Hilary's giveaway to HUG it Out 5:45 Bonus Guided Meditation with music by Lipbone Redding --------- EPISODE TRANSCRIPT --------- HILARY RUSSO 00:00 - Hilary Russo (Host) I am all kinds of giddy because March is my favorite month. It marks the beginning of spring. Daylight Savings is just around the corner. It's the month when I was born Shout out to you if you're a March baby too. And it's Women's History Month. What a great time to be empowered and inspired by what other women have accomplished over the years. Who's your favorite? Who inspires you? Actually, I have a better question for you. What about your own accomplishments, and who have you touched, moved, and inspired in your life? 00:35 Now, if you're struggling with that thought, if you have a hard time thinking that you've made a difference in someone's life and you're hard on yourself, wondering why someone else is getting more done in their lives, or you're overwhelmed and you're feeling stuck, that inner bully is definitely showing up in the moment. How many times do you let that doubt creep in? You allow the inner dialogue to take over and enter stress? I get it. I've dealt with it too. 01:05 Here's a little story for you. My dad used to call me a worry wart, because if I could worry about something, I would find it, and I would definitely worry about it to the end of time. In fact, I had this ridiculous game that I used to play. I called it the if-then game. Yeah, I even gave it a name. It made no sense at all. It would go something like this If I can toss that little piece of paper into the wastebasket, then I'm going to get an A on my test. Yeah, like I said, it makes no sense. Here's another one If I can make that light before it turns red, I'm totally going to get asked to prom. So, spoiler alert, I got asked to prom, but it really had nothing to do with me making the red light. It's ridiculous, right? How the hell did any of this benefit me? What was the value in that kind of game? Reality check, it had no positive impact on my life. If anything, it made me more stressed and I was putting way too much pressure on myself. 02:11 You see, stress consumed me as a kid and it didn't stop there. The smallest things would worry me. I was anxious, I would have panic attacks about things I couldn't control, but the one thing I actually could control was my thoughts about the thing I was stressing about. Imagine that it was a vicious cycle, but I didn't have the tools and I felt the overwhelm and I felt it often and it sucked. And it wasn't just Hillary as a kid, it was also the adult, me as well. Man, adulting, it can be hard, and it comes with its fair share of responsibility, doesn't it? But the bigger responsibility is not the task at hand, it's what I'm about to share with you right now. 03:01 I figured something out you can control much of what you're feeling by changing your mindset, your energy, your thoughts. This isn't woo-woo, this is neuroscience. And when I started to really do the inner work, when I found others who could guide me and support me on my journey, something really changed. I changed, and guess what? It's something I work at every day, because stress doesn't go away, turns up in life daily. The difference is this it's not that you are void of it, you just learn to relate, react, and respond to it differently. That's the gold, right there. Let me say it again Relate, react, respond. 03:55 The moment you get that in check, you open yourself up to a whole lot of goodness in life. But how? Yeah, I ask myself that question a lot, and it is pretty common to have doubt. After all, that's where our brain loves to go Fight, flight, or freeze. Right, Amy the amygdala is like a scared animal running for shelter, and when that happens, you spend a lot of time visiting skeptical city, questioning yourself, your actions, feeling stuck. 04:31 The big shift is deciding how long you want a vacation there. Stress central, please. There are plenty of other stops on this train I would rather get off at, so let's make that happen. And here's the good news. Like I said, march is the Wonder Month, my month, your month, women's month. So the best gift I could receive to celebrate another trip around the sun is to give you the gift of healing. HUG it Out going to together. That is why I am giving one lucky woman the opportunity to work with me one-on-one, for free, to work through the stress that is consuming you, keeping you stuck, stopping you from shining like that bright star that you are. Whatever is holding you back and weighing you down will work through it and we'll HUG it out. All you have to do is take that first step and tell me why you would like to work with me, and then just click the link on the podcast page to give it a shot. The cool thing is we get to have a conversation either way, so it's really a win-win. 05:43 So while I have you for the next few minutes, let's do a moment of mindfulness with my dear friend Lipbone, who shares his music on every episode to accompany us on the journey. 05:59 Let the music guide you as you close your eyes and take a deep breath and ask yourself this question what is stressing me out that I want to work through? How do I want to feel? Joy, peace, calm, whatever it is. Let it show up for you, honor, it be okay, accepting this part of you, and then ask yourself this when is now the right time to step into the tension and know I am being handed the gift of guidance and support? Sit with that for a moment and take a deep breath and, when you're ready, open your eyes and know whatever it is you are feeling, it is valid and you are loved. HIListically Speaking, it's a beautiful possibility, isn't it, to see what is on the horizon and know that I am in your corner the entire way. So, on that note, give yourself the gift of healing and take a chance, a chance on yourself. Book the call and we will continue with a new conversation next week and until then, be kind to your mind and don't forget to laugh.

That negative self talk isn't doing you any favors. But somehow, you keep doing it, don't you? When it comes to body positivity, the roller coaster ride that follows the endless dieting and workout routine can really take a toll on your well-being; not only emotional and physically, but spiritually and energetically as well. And before you know it, self-sabotage becomes the name of the game. Amber Romaniuk knows the story all too well.

What if this or something better is on the way? Imagine that thought instead of trying to plan everything in your life. In other words, what if you chose to let go? Surrender and release your plans to the care of The Universe? For most, the ego would step in and fight you on that. But for transformational teacher and motivational speaker, Kute Blackson, choosing the Magic of Surrender was a game changer. But it didn't happen overnight. A son of a minister, Kute's path was predestined. But it didn't match what he wanted to his life to be. And after a long personal journey that included growth, pain and even loss, learning to let go was not only a path that aligned with his soul's purpose, but it was one that went above and beyond his own expectations. Because…he surrendered. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Kute tells his story about the lessons on the mountain. How the best selling books he wrote were not the one's he wanted to write and what inspired the change. His thoughts on death and the one regret that changed his life for good. Want to take home a copy of Kute's book for free? Enter the Magic of Surrender Giveaway. One winner will win a signed copy of Kute's latest book “The Magic of Surrender”.

"Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about". There are so many variations of this quote. Dating back a hundreds of years. It seems as though bullying has become both an inside and outside job. So much so, that we've gotten into the habit of perfecting it. All of us. This is not exactly a skill set you add proudly to the resume. But whatever version you resonate with, the overall message is this: We all have stuff. So, get curious, courageous and vulnerable. Ask for help. And most importantly, be kind…to yourself and others. And...listen up! During this episode of HIListically Speaking, Marketing & Business Strategist and Coach Vince Warnock shares his own personal experience about how bullying in the school yard was just as present in the board room. Even with his fellow C-Suite rockstars had taken the fall time and time again. Sound familiar? Now, Vince helps entrepreneurs find their voice and face their fears in the most authentic way... personally and professionally. And, we'd be doing Vince a disservice if it wasn't mentioned that Star Wars and Stan Lee may have had something to do with his own success from corporate CEO and broadcaster to entrepreneurial super hero. We're "Chasing the Insights" on this episode of HIListically Speaking. And if you're serious about making an impact as CEO in your own life and those you serve, claim an amazing offer and book a free strategy call with Vince after you listen to the conversation.

What does it mean to have a “good death”? Have you given much thought to what you'd want your transition to be like? This isn't just about the funeral and what people say in your memory.

Nurturing. Healing. Love. Those three words were written on the kitchen chalkboard by 6 year old Jesse Lewis before he left for school in December of 2012. Those three words were also his last. Jesse was one of the 20 first graders and 6 educators killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. For Scarlett Lewis, the only single mother that lost her child that day, the pain and grief may never fade, but neither will her son's message. Jesse's words have sparked a movement led by his mom. A movement inspired by Jesse's final acts of love, and his mother's path of forgiveness. A movement that is giving children powerful tools that teach them how to manage their emotions, feel connected, and have healthy relationships.And the formula is simple: courage + love + forgiveness + compassion-in-action = Choosing Love. The Choose Love Movement is now in over 10,000 schools in all 50 states and 100 countries worldwide. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, hear Scarlett's story and join us in celebrating Jesse's birthday bash. Find out how Havening Techniques is part of the gift that is teaching children to be kind to their minds and embrace each other with thoughtful response, love and fun.

Sixty years sounds like a long time. Well, unless you are Mother Earth. Because sixty is how many years of farmable soil we have left on this planet. That dirt you're standing on has purpose. It improves water cycles, protect farmers, prevents toxic pollution, increases nutrient density, enhances human health resilience, and balances atmospheric carbon. But if you're stepping all over it rather than just standing on it... no bueno. Rob Herring is on a mission to help as many people as possible understand that. And with simple solutions we can all have a positive impact and begin to see a change for good. But the director and producer of the award-winning film The Need To GROW and co-founder of the platform Earth Conscious Life has a health healing story of his own. And over the years, he's used his musical talents to bring awareness to the state of our planet. From his critically acclaimed GMO OMG and world-famous Zeitgeist Trilogy to his songwriting for health and eco activism, Rob's journey is creating a space for all to be touched, moved and inspired into rebuilding a more regenerative future. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Rob opens up about everything from his emotional well-being and living holistically to the small seeds we can plant to make this world a better place.

“Surround yourself with people who will massage your neurons”. My father said those words to me when I was a child... encouraging me to spark new conversations outside my comfort zone. 40 something years later, I'm still at it. And we've reached a milestone on the HIListically Speaking Podcast. One year. One year of empowering conversations of transformational journeys. One year of trauma to triumph stories that continue to touch, move and inspire the podcasting world. One year of thoughtful souls sharing health, healing and humor. What a ride it's been so far. My neurons are just getting warmed up. Dad would be proud. I imagine he's listening from somewhere. So, to celebrate our first full trip around the sun, HIListically Speaking is taking a look back at some of the most inspiring moments from the year. From the words of wisdom to the laughter in the lessons…it's all here as a "thank you" for listening and sticking around. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year”. HIListically Speaking…I agree. Every day that I am offered a chance to have new conversations and connections that touch the heart and encourage you to “be kind to your mind” is the best day so far. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. In a word: Grateful. If you haven't yet subscribed, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Celebrate our first year by leaving a rating and review. And if you've been touched, moved and inspired by one or many episodes, consider sharing it with just one person. My gift is the messages being shared.

What does pride mean to you? For Dawn Ennis, it means finally being herself. She'll be the first to tell you that her transgender journey hasn't been easy. Let alone private. Dawn was the first transgender journalist to come out in network TV news. And that was one top story that brought mixed emotions and reception. Add both personal and professional loss to the national media attention and suddenly Dawn was questioning her choices and her life. One of those choices almost left her children without a mother…and a father. Fortunately, Dawn “sucks at suicide”, as she put it. Her devotion to family and faith is stronger than ever. And the stories she now tells as an LGBTQ+ advocate and journalist have more purpose and power. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, a conversation about living your truth. But also, the responsibility each and every one of us have in a diverse and inclusive world. And for Life After Dawn, she'll be the first to tell you…it begins with kindness. Where does it begin for you? Connect with Dawn Ennis on her blog at Life After Dawn.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius said that. Of course, Confucius never dealt with writing a resume, scouring the internet for jobs, or wondering how many of the 750 million other people on LinkedIn applied. Add social media to that equation (just to kill your ego a little bit more) and you’ve got a nice little recipe for “I’m not good enough”. Well, hello, imposter syndrome. Thanks for showing up. As a professional resume writer and LinkedIn rock star, you would think David Alto had it all worked out. But even the guy that helps get you past the resume bots was struggling with his own self-worth. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, David shares his story of how he turned that struggle into his superpower. But also, he shares some valuable tips and tricks to get your resume in the right hands, get over yourself and get the job. As a bonus, David is giving away five copies of his book “The Fear of Confidence: My journey as a social media influencer living with Imposter Syndrome”. You can find out how to make one of them yours by listening to the episode. If you're interested in learning more about David, connect with him on LinkedIn.

How well are you communicating with others? For Michelle Mills-Porter, she was already an expert in communication, specializing in non-visual and non-verbal communication. But when she found herself in the middle of one of the biggest natural disasters in history, the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004, with little time to think, it opened her eyes to discover the magnificence in humanity. She witnessed the power of true motivation and the limitless possibility of collaboration. In a digital age, we are overwhelmed with so many ways to connect. But with all these options, are we really doing it in a way that unleashes our true potential to connect with others? And do we have to wait until we face adversity to make a change? Through Michelle's own recovery, she worked to capture what she learned, eventually creating a suite of analysis tools that unleashes people power to help you to uncover your magnificence. Join the conversation when this speaker, trainer, author and a leading light in the neuroscience of human behavior shares her story and infinite possibilities with host Hilary Russo.

Imagine being told “you’ve lost your crown and glory” because you’re losing your hair. Ouch! Talk about insensitive! Well, those were the words Dominique Claire heard from a hairdresser when she was just 16 years old. Dominique has alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that impacts the hair follicles. But, hair loss can happen to anyone at any time, for many reasons…sometimes as early as our teens. Roughly 95% of hair loss in men is caused by androgenic alopecia or male-patterned baldness. And close to 50% of all women start losing their hair by the time they are 50. This can lead to feelings of insecurity and shame or even a heightened level of anxiety and depression. Dominique was only five when she went bald. Sure, she has had years to embrace it, but that doesn’t mean she hasn't faced pain and loss…on many levels. On this episode of HIListically Speaking with Hilary Russo, find out how Dominique found her truth through feminine embodiment and turned alopecia into her super power. Learn more about Dominique, her coaching and her events on her website. What’s YOUR Story? If you have a great topic of conversation you’d like to share on HIListically Speaking, let us know.

If you’ve ever wondered why wind chimes are calming or the music played during a meditation relaxes you, it’s not by accident. The healing power of sound dates back thousands of years. It’s why sonotherapist and holistic health coach Leslie McDonald does what she does. In 2016, her health was suffering mentally and physically. And it only took one sound meditation to change the rest of her life. She quit her job and devoted her life to holistic well-being. The healing power of sound was a big part of that. So how did the girl with a gong bigger turn her traumas into triumphs? And why is she sharing this gift with others, including her little girl? You’re about to find out on many levels during this conversation. And if you stay to the end, prepare to raise your vibration with a full sound meditation, a gift from Leslie and HIListically Speaking. You can learn more about Leslie and her sounds meditations by connecting with her on her Instagram, website or on Insight Timer. What’s Your Story?

News flash: Divorce sucks. And it’s not uncommon for men and women to experience this life changing event differently. But one thing is the same, divorce can be exhausting on many levels. Emotionally, physically and of course, financially. For Brian Kelsey, a dad of two boys, his biggest fear was being that divorced guy renting a one bedroom apartment over some bar in his hometown. So, finding a new foundation for himself and his kids was priority number one. And that’s where he got creative in his approach. Like REALLY creative. When you’re a guy who spends a lot of time on-camera sharing your master carpentry skills and quick witted humor, you can only imagine what was stirring in his mind. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, a man’s perspective on divorce and how a little creativity and a lot of determination can help you rebuild your life. You can learn more about Brian by visiting his website Ten Minutes With and his YouTube Channel. What’s Your Story?

Do you remember what happened the last time you went against a gut feeling? I imagine you were not too happy with the outcome. Our intuition isn’t messing around when it comes to the messages we receive. It just knows. And yet, all too often we love to put up a good fight thinking we know better. Vincent Genna fought it for years. Thinking he had all the answers about what his life was meant to be. A famous acting career was in the cards. But message after message kept telling him a different story. Now, that doesn’t mean Vinny didn’t have some success on the stage and screen. He did. But, his gift had nothing to do with accepting a Tony or an Oscar. It had everything to do with receiving something even more powerful…the messages he was being sent day after day until he finally stopped ignoring the signs. Those signs unveiled his true mission as a psychic medium and spiritual teacher. And this was not a part he played on TV. On this episode of "HIListically Speaking", Vincent shares more about his journey from trauma to triumph. He also reveals how doors began to open once he realized he already had the key to his deepest passion and purpose…just like you. You can learn more about Vincent by visiting his website: https://vincentgenna.com/. What’s Your Story?

When you think of the word “inclusivity”, what comes to mind? More importantly, how do you incorporate it into your own life? Do you know your own blind spots and are you asking questions that spark deeper conversations? Let’s be honest…inclusivity is more than an office buzzword. It’s about making everyone feel valued, changing unfair practices and providing the same opportunity to everyone to make a positive impact. One way we are seeing this more and more is through art and expression. Anti-racist educator and screenwriter, Ashwini Prasad is doing her part from the office to the theatre. Her screenplays focus on bringing people who are erased and marginalized onto the screen. And when you add her recent book, “How To Write Inclusively: An Analysis & How To Guide,” and new podcast, “The Inclusive Storyteller” to the mix, you know she’s on a mission. This powerful episode creates the space for Ashwini to share her own battle with racism, oppression and social injustice. But also, how she’s turning things around for the silent voices to be heard. You can learn more about Ashwini by visiting her website: theinclusivescreenwriter.com What’s Your Story?

“You can do hard things”. Whenever Michael Roderick questions a difficult task, he’s reminded of these words often shared with his daughter, Juniper. Life is full of trials and tribulations. Ups and downs. Successes and failures. And for Michael…who is in the business of “turning thoughtful givers into thoughtful leaders”, connection is everything. And making sure people know what you need (what Michael calls “The Givers Fix”), could be the turning point in your life as an entrepreneur. I often call Michael “The Connector of Connectors” because as the CEO of Small Pond Enterprises, this guy knows how to make messages memorable and unforgettable. He is also the host of the podcast “Access to Anyone”, which shows how you can get to know anyone you want in business and in life using time-tested relationship-building principles. Michael's unique methodology comes from his own experience of going from being a High School English teacher to a Broadway Producer in under two years. If you're ready to get the scoop on what it takes to be a connected entrepreneur, join the conversation.

Recently I asked listeners this question. “When it comes to a healthy relationship, what is most important for it to thrive?” These are the answers I received. Communication. Respect. Trust. Honesty. Unconditional love. Listening. Validation. Just to name a few. The truth is, whether you’re getting into one, getting out of one or still on the lookout…love can be messy. And if we don’t do the inner work first, and give ourselves that “in between time”, we’re setting ourselves up for a rinse and repeat relationship cycle that knows no end. Talk about dirty laundry. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, New York Times best selling author and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Katherine Woodward Thomas shares her own journey on Calling in “The One” and also, how to face a Conscious Uncoupling when things don’t work out; a term that put her on the map after Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s divorce. If you’re ready to have a greater understanding about your trauma self versus your true self and be committed to a future that is not fixed on your past, this conversation is a must. You can learn more about Katherine Woodward Thomas, her national best seller, Calling in “The One:” 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life; and her New York Times best seller, Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After or any of her workshops, by visit her website https://katherinewoodwardthomas.com/.

We all have a story. But sometimes sharing it isn’t always easy. So, how do you turn your mess into your message with confidence and connection? Melissa Ruiz has been in front of an audience most of her life. From small-town community theatre and the Miss New Jersey stage to most recently, TEDx. So, It’s no surprise speaking in front of others comes naturally. But owning the story took time. And so did understanding the importance of self-care, self worth and self-preservation. Today, she helps leaders in their fields get over their fear of public speaking to create a bigger impact in the world. On this week’s HIListically Speaking, Melissa shares more about how your story can be therapeutic and not therapy and how you can find your power when you Show and Tell with Mel.

What’s your clutter threshold? That’s the question Decluttering Expert, author and blogger Dana K. White always asks when it comes to getting organized. Whether it’s your home, a room, or just your desk. Clearing up the clutter not only helps your physical space, but your head space too. But keeping things organized isn’t always easy. The older we get, the more stuff we collect. And before we know it, we’re facing a growing pile of emotional distress. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Dana shares some empowering tips on how “A Slob Comes Clean”. (Spoiler alert: she was that slob). But also, some realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy.

If you think body dysmorphia is gender specific, think again. Christopher Krietchman battled it for years. As a professional bodybuilder, numbers mattered. Add a learning disability on top of that fit fix and you have a potential formula for disaster. It took years for Chris to turn his life around. But when he did, the shift created a wonderful opportunity to serve others in healthy living…and Wellvyl was born. Then COVID hit and his results came back positive. Ten months have taught Chris a lot. To the point where his own health and wellness journey has him running for office with hopes of serving his community in a whole new way. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, get to know how this strong man is lifting much more than weights to make the world a better and healthier place.

What do you think of when you see or hear the word FAT? For far too long, the word has been seen as negative, insulting and even embarrassing. But, as Executive Presence Coach Joanna Lovering of Copper + Rise shared, “it’s just a descriptor”. Fat is merely a word that should be seen the same way as you describe the color of your eyes. Joanna spent years battling the ups and downs of her weight. And with it came emotions to match. That is, until she turned a new page and saw the power of being present. The confidence, character and style that blooms when you decide to own it. Just like we are all more than our numbers, we are also more than those every day descriptors too. Get ready to be empowered as we…chew the fat, on this episode of HIListically Speaking.

How well are you sleeping, eating, performing and well…living? If you struggle with any area of your health, it may come down to missing some important information that could change your life. Justin Roethlingshoefer gets it. Because he’s been there. He lived and breathed hockey for years. It kind of comes with the territory when you’re from Canada. He’s worked as a performance director in the NCAA, NHL, and even runs a private camp for pro hockey players. But loving hockey didn’t mean living well. Injury, addiction, depression and anxiety were getting in the way of life outside the arena. That is, until he had a wake up call about the one machine he needed to manage better…himself. Today, his knowledge of performance, health, recovery and sleep space has made him a leader in using data to drive decision making. Not just on the ice but in the corporate world as well. Because, any one has the ability to own their inner athlete. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Justin shares more about scoring those goals.

It’s not uncommon for tragedy to bring people together. There’s a feeling of “I’m not alone” that can be both healing and empowering. And can even spark the most miraculous shifts in life. Jessica Cordova Kramer can attest to that. She’s a former Wall Street lawyer and podcast producer who lost her brother after a long battle with addiction. And when she heard fellow podcaster Stephanie Whittels Wachs share her own story of loss, after her brother died from an overdose, a bond was created…and then some. Together these women have gone on to create Lemonada Media, a podcast network that Jessica says, is on a mission “to make shows that help people get out of bed in the morning, that help people deal with the hardest sh*t in their real lives.” On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Jessica shares more about the humor behind the healing and the journey from lemons to lemonade.

You can learn a lot about a person if you just take time to listen to their story. Michelle Hobgood came into my life as my health coach. With over 15 years in the fitness industry, keeping me accountable on my wellness journey was second nature to her. And frankly, she continues to inspire me, which you'll soon find out. But, what I didn’t know about Michelle at the time was that she was fighting her own health and wellness battles…and then some. Michelle is fit, feisty and has an infectious laugh that you just can’t help but love. At first meeting, you’d never know she is the mom of an adult son with Autism. You also would miss that she is in a multicultural marriage. And likely, it wouldn’t dawn on you that she faces unconscious biases every day; professionally and personally. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Michelle shares more about her own journey on why being considered a “strong, black woman” can sometimes set the stage for biases we don’t even realize we are creating. But also, this intimate conversation opened some doors where there were once walls. Doors to a better understanding that if we spend more time listening to one another, we can learn to turn awareness into action in a positive and productive way...for all. You can find more of Michelle’s transparent musings and how she juggles it all with a smile (most of the time) on her Instagram and website.

Jeffrey Small had everything going for him. Friends, family and a great job back in his hometown. When you’re a news anchor, you’re in many ways a celebrity in your local community. I know this because Jeffrey and I were co-anchors in Louisiana during our early days in TV News. But a move to St. Louis brought a different kind of fame. Something that changed his entire world when cocaine and meth came into play. Suddenly, the respected guy on TV who loved to party, was now on the front page of the newspapers for all the wrong reasons. Addiction took it all away from Jeff and somehow he lived to tell about it. After hitting rock bottom, this two time Emmy Winning Journalist had no choice but to look at life differently. Small is now an outspoken voice for others in need of hope and healing and shares his story on this episode of HIListically Speaking.

The healing arts is big business. And for anyone who works in health or healing, there’s a responsibility that comes with showing up for yourself and others. If you’re one who is seeking guidance rather than providing it, that overwhelming feeling that has you asking, “who is right for me” can be just as challenging. It can also leave you with a lot of questions unanswered. David Gandelman knows this all too well. His journey took him from playing hockey in New Jersey to working mindfully in Hawaii. From ashrams to improv and Cornell to Colorado, the creator of Meditation School shares some valuable lessons about what it takes to honor yourself and the business of being zen. And he's bound to make you laugh along the way. David connects energetic experience, ancient wisdom traditions, and humor, to create a safe atmosphere for people interested in learning to meditate, and develop their natural spiritual abilities. He is also the host of both the Energy Matters Podcast and Grounded Sleep Podcast. Get ready to put the “yay” in namaste with some powerful lessons and little laughter on what it takes to live your best life.

If there is one show that has brought me to happy tears each time I watch, it is definitely The Kindness Diaries on Netflix. Every episode, Leon Logothetis takes us on an epic journey across the globe relying completely on the kindness of strangers. Many have little room to spare or food to give. Or do they? There in lies the lesson. So, why is a former stockbroker from London choosing to travel this way and ask for a helping hand? Well, having it all doesn’t necessarily mean feeling complete; as you’ll soon find out during our conversation. The real riches come from each person he meets during his travels. It’s more than room and board. Time, kindness and connection pave the way for so something so much greater…for the giver and the taker. Get to know The Kindness Guy, and more about Leon’s quest to inspire the world to be a little bit kinder with whole lot of “Winnie Love” on this episode of “HIListically Speaking”.

My grandmother used to say, “be sure to taste your words before you spit them out”. The problem is, we aren’t considering the impact those words or that inner dialogue has on ourselves before it leaves our lips. Imagine if coming from a place of love and kindness started with embracing the source. When I first read Sarah Peyton’s book Your Resonant Self, I was shocked at some of the sabotaging self-talk I was using. Bullying myself came with ease due to my own traumas and upsets. To be honest, we’re all guilty of it…being hard on ourselves is nothing new. But, self-love isn’t just a trend or a hashtag, it’s a way of being… IF we have the right tools. And for Sarah, her work as a Certified Trainer of Non-Violent Communication and neuroscience educator, provides us with those tools that can help us better understand the unconscious contracts we make with ourselves.

We tell ourselves a lot of stories about why the right kind of love hasn’t entered our lives. To the career driven woman out there, we’ve whined and wined over a number of them, haven’t we? Here are a few of my favs. My success is intimidating to men. There’s no good ones left after divorce. I’m “too busy” to date because I’m so career focused. They want the young ones anyway. And the ever so popular…I’m too old for this crap. OK, now that we go that out of our system, let’s try something different. Ladies, I get it. But, now, it’s time to own it. And do I have the perfect guy for you! Barry Price has been a relationship and dating coach for powerful women since he was 8 years old. You learn a lot when you’re sitting at the kitchen table with your single mom, breaking down her dates. Since then, he has been trained as an ICF Coach and by renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel. He has coached thousands of successful women to transform their relationship with themselves in order to create healthy, lasting relationships with the right man. Barry offers a level of male insight coupled with genuine empathy that no other coach offers on your dating & relationship journey. And fellas…he’s the bro you wanna know. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, get to know Barry, his mission and what it takes to Lean In To Love.

What does it mean to be an empath? If this question sparks curiosity, it’s likely you are one. But, let’s dig deeper, shall we? Do you tend to take on the emotions of others as your own? Are you someone people (even strangers) often come to for help and/or advice? Perhaps you have found yourself in narcissistic relationships time and time again. Maybe large crowds feel overwhelming. Does the energy or vibe of the room affect you? You may value alone time as a chance to connect with something higher. Or, like many empaths...you just feel misunderstood. Any and/or all of these are just a few examples of what it could mean to be an empath. If you’re still reading, this likely resonates with you. The good thing is, you’re not alone. As Super Sensitive Empaths, Sara Green and Jason West can certainly relate. They are co-founders of MetaPhysical Lighthouse. A love-based, non-profit organization founded by psychics and scientists working together to create social change through empathy. Their backgrounds are so different, yet so aligned. This creates the perfect balance for what it means to build bridges instead of walls. Get to know their energy, their karma and their light during our conversation. If you questioned your empath journey or were looking for a greater connection, you may have finally found your way home on this episode of HIListically Speaking. To learn more about Sara, Jason and the Metaphysical Lighthouse, visit their website at metalighthouse.org And if you would like a chance to win a copy of Sara and Jason’s book, “MPath: 8 Steps to Illumination”, signed by the both of them, visit my Instagram post for this episode for details on entering.

If moments of gratitude make up a symphony, then Chris Palmore is the conductor. But finding the light can be difficult after loss. And it certainly didn’t happen overnight. In 2015, Chris’ mom Laura lost her battle with breast cancer. A few months prior, he was writing her a letter of gratitude. That love note and tremendous loss paved the way for a new way of being. Soon after, this coach and creator of GratitudeSpace not only opened a new door, but his heart; creating a revolutionary movement to change our world and encourage radical acts of gratitude. His first book, “Dear Gratitude: An Anthology,” releases Thanksgiving. And most recently, he launched a non-profit that supports Gratitude PopUps booths with a goal of collecting 10,000 gratitude moments. Talk about bumping your party experience up a notch! His podcast GratitudeSpace Radio is a weekly dose of inspiration and I’m grateful to be part of his lineup. In fact, if you click below and listen to that conversation, I have a special gift of gratitude for those who tune in. To learn more about Chris and GratitudeSpace, visit gratitudespace.com or email him at hello@gratitudespace.com.

“You have cancer.” These are three words an organic-eating wellness-teaching yoga-loving gal like Bethany Webb never thought she would hear. But her boobs were telling her a different story. And after going through every emotion possible, this Yoga Therapist/Mindset Coach went from cancer survivor to cancer thriver. But it wasn’t easy. That BS (belief system) can get in the way. You need to check yourself, before you wreck yourself. And Bethany did. Anger, fear and shame turned into excitement, engagement and empowerment. Her book My Guru Cancer is the one she wishes someone had written when she was going through it all. Now, Bethany is living life to the fullest in the mountains of Colorado. And when she’s not writing and teaching, you can find her hiking, adventuring, cooking, and thriving! On this week’s episode of HIListically Speaking, get to know Bethany, her story and what it means to kick cancer’s ass - mind, body and spirit. I guess you can say her story is now a survival guide for others. If you want a chance to win a copy of Bethany’s book, My Guru Cancer, just leave a rating and review on Apple podcast. You can also visit my Instagram @HilaryRusso for more chances to win.

In this episode, I've taken up temporary residence in a safe and tranquil space in the swamps of Florida, surrounded by frogs, birds, crickets and other wildlife. Songs and talk of the end of history and the beginning of something new.

I met Lawrence "Lipbone" Redding the night he played at my friend Kathy’s backyard concert. I hadn’t heard of him before and promised her I’d be there to catch the show. Well, I sure was glad that I did because, although I only had an hour to catch a portion of his show, I was enthralled by his playing and what he can do vocally with his mouth, I mean the sounds he can make are unbelievable, and, all real, no trickery here. He can sound like a train, a plane or any instrument you can think of. Not only was I was floored with his musical talents, his story telling was truly captivating. He makes you feel as though you’re living it right there and then. And, let’s not forget about the humor in his show, he’ll keep you in stitches. I knew I had to get him on the show. I happened to post a short video of his performance on my IG account and said something to the effect “I’d love to get this guy on the LDG show” and he replied with a comment stating that “he’d love to be on the show”, well I couldn’t begin to tell you how thrilled I was. So I’m excited to say, he’s here with us today. A bit about Lawrence “Lipbone” Redding: He's an award-winning vocalist, guitar player, voice instrumentalist, storyteller, songwriter, author, teacher and traveler. He is best known for his one-man orchestra show; simultaneously playing, singing and making the instrument sounds with his mouth and without the use of a loop pedal. Lipbone incorporates a full spectrum of musical styles from American Roots and Jazz to throat singing and Indian Classical. In his interview today, we talk about: The importance of doing the “work” yourself, not waiting on others to do what they said they promised to do. What performing in the NYC subway tunnels for 6 years taught him about the industry as well as how it honed his skills as a performer. How he travels around the nation in his "beautiful flying machine" (what he’s coined his van). His upcoming tour “A Man With A Guitar and a Backpack” - 250 Days Around The World. The classes he teaches, (one of them will put you to sleep and that’s a good thing). The importance of keeping an art journal. And, so much more. So come along for the ride, grab your headphones, pour yourself a tall glass of your favorite beverage and come check out Lipbone’s interview.

Lipbone Redding is an award-winning vocalist, guitar player, voice-strumentalist, storyteller, songwriter, author, teacher and traveler. He is best known for his one-man orchestra show; simultaneously playing, singing and making the instrument sounds with his mouth and without the use of a loop pedal. Lipbone incorporates a full spectrum of musical styles from American Roots and Jazz to throat singing and Indian Classical. Origins A free-range child, native to the swamps, farmlands and beach towns of coastal North Carolina, Lawrence “Lipbone” Redding cites his mama's Soul, Boogie, Blues and Disco records as early stylistic origins. As a young man he became interested in Art, Opera, Books and Theater and often dreamt of travel to exotic places. At 21 years old, no longer able to be contained by a small town, Lipbone escaped to New York City and discovered Improvisation, Comedy, Jazz, Modern Art, Dance and Performance Art. Lipbone's decade at the cultural crossroads sparked his curiosity and paved the way for future influences from around the globe. New York became a launching pad for what was to become a lifetime of travel and collaboration with artists and audiences alike. After a brief stint as an actor, carpenter, bartender and producer for the Museum of Sound Recording, Lawrence Redding accidentally became a NYC subway musician and adopted the name “Lipbone.” He made “funny” sounds while playing guitar. Curious folks would often ask, “what do you call that sound?” He would tell them, “It's my Lip Trombone!…My Lipbone!” Hence the name. It was there in the underground caverns that Lipbone Redding experienced artistic redemption, and honed the skills that eventually allowed him to travel and make a living wherever life took him: India, Europe, South America, New Orleans, San Francisco, and points between. “Music is like pollen that drifts through the air and becomes a seed in the imagination. Music is a carrier wave for revolution. With music, I speak with friends who I have never met. We tell each other, ‘Everything is alright. You are not alone.'” - LB Traveling the world making friends and music, Lipbone spends most nights on the road in his small RV, “The Beautiful Flying Machine.” Outfitted with solar panels, a kitchen and comfortable living area, he boasts waking up to some of the most stunning views on planet Earth. From his mobile headquarters, Lipbone makes art, writes songs, records music, perfects his vegan recipes, interviews fascinating strangers for his podcast, and shares photos and video of nature's beauty. Recently Lipbone's live show was featured on PBS, On Tour with Lipbone Redding. The program has been seen by viewers nationwide. Most recently, Lipbone has released a digital album on his own label, Beautiful Flying Records entitled Return Of The Beautiful, co-produced by Mashti (Mads Nordheim). The two have collaborated on an earlier record entitled Runaway Snail, recorded in Goa, India. Both albums are available in digital format from www.LIPBONE.com, on Spotify and iTunes. With the decline of CDs and physical music merchandise, Lipbone has taken a new tact. Already making art and writing on a daily basis, he has been making small runs art booklets with full album Part of his DIY aesthetic, the physical objects that accompany the albums are a thought provoking collection of art, stories and lyrics.

HOLLY GOLIGHTLY started her musical career in the United Kingdom as a co-founding member of all girl garage band Thee Headcoatees. Holly made her first solo album, The Good Things, in 1995. After playing with The White Stripes in the USA, and supporting them at a few London shows, Holly and her long-time US band mate Lawyer Dave, have a new side project under the guise of Holly Golightly and The Brokeoffs. The two will be performing material from their new CD called "Medicine County" which is chock-full of ghostly blues, gut-bucket slide guitar, with a smattering of ol' time country. LIPBONE REDDING is an inventive singer/songwriter and former subway musician who creates original songs that effervesce with New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves and New York City style. Known for his ability to use his vocals to sound exactly like a trombone, it's hard to tell the difference -- unless you witness the phenomenon live. Lipbone and his two-man orchestra (the Lipbone Orchestra) make for a show greased with uncanny riffs of vocal trumpeting, booming mouth percussion, hilarious side moments and esoteric lyrics.
