About Tami-Adrian George: Tami is the founder of Tami's Take On…Pilates. Rehab. Nutrition. It's Tami George's passion to help people do the things they love…better and without pain! Tami's many years as a dancer and busy working actor & model (Starship Troopers, In The House, General Hospital, 50+ National Commercials) meant she needed to be in peak physical condition.  Since her initial Pilates certification more than 30 years ago, she's had the opportunities to learn from Master Level Pilates Instructors, trained under top Physical Therapists, and incorporated my many fields of study to help her clients achieve their fitness goals.  She's worked with everyone from CEOs to nationally-competing athletes, from weekend warriors to fitness fraidy-cats, from little kids to grandparents.  Tami-Adrian says it's about so much more than dieting and exercises…It's about laughing, learning and celebrating!  Let's talk about taking back our fitness! What We Discuss in this Episode: We all have that voice in our heads that's chittering away non-stop. What is yours saying? Is it even your voice? And, if not, who let them in? After encountering so many clients who based their fitness & wellness goals on what other people had to say about them, she developed an easy to use system for filtering out all the “shoulds” and zeroing in on all the “Heck Yeahs!” Real fitness is not about what your weight.  Why in the world do we talk to ourselves in such damaging ways? Why can't people seem to stay motivated? We start off all gangbusters, then fizzle out. In all your years as a performer, what were you most surprised to find out about how your peers were staying camera ready? What's the difference between Body Positive and True Fitness? How does one set fitness goals they can actually reach? How do we change that negative voice in our head?   Free Resource from Tami-Adrian George Real Fitness Starts With The Voice in Your Head:  https://www.tamistakeon.com/ (sign up for Tami-Adrian's newsletter and she will send it to you).   Connect With Tami-Adrian George Website: https://www.tamistakeon.com/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/tami.pilates.rehab   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized & Healthy Women's Club.

Anahi Bustillos was born in the bordertown of El Paso, Texas.  She moved to Los Angeles as soon as she gratuated highschool to get the hell out of Texas, find a place where she felt more at peace and (drum roll) to pursue her dreams of acting.  After nearly a decade of sitting in traffic, waitressing and becoming comfortable in her own skin she began booking on a regular basis and was a bonafide "working actress".  She has booked numerous roles on Primetime including: NCIS LA, NCIS, SWAT, Bosch, Little Fires Everywhere, Insecure, How to Get Away with Murder and over 30 National Commercials.  In 2021, she went on an unplanned 6mth Odyssey in which she brokedown the framework of the life she had lovingly constructed through years of relentless hard work and crying an ocean of tears.  And at the ripe age of 39 she has decided to shut the door on acting to pursue the one thing her intuition has been firmly advising her to focus on for the last 20 years.  To sing the words and melodies that she has kept to private for no other reason then fear it self. "I dont want to pretend to be other people as a profession right now or ever again.  I feel my power lies in speaking my own words and sharing my own stories while giving myself the opportunity to fully express my creative well that has to be expressed. The music in this moment is to save my own life."You can find her at home, in her 1930s kelly-green mohair chair, working through a new creative process while breathing through self-sabatoge in order to reach the level of unwavering selflove.  Her first record will be a Battle Cry.Anahi would also like to add that every single human has a story worth hearing.

Her clients are currently series regulars & recurring on Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon, and Nickelodeon as well as starring in National Commercials for AllState, Farmers, Cheerios, Apple, Audi, Mercedes and many more.   We discuss what makes a great talent manager, the differences between managers and agents, how to get the attention of a potential manager, advice for parents of young actors, the best times to come out to Los Angeles, and much more. Join us!   Some of my favorite quotes from our conversation:   “We work hands-on with the casting directors, and so do agents.” “I look for clients that are genuine.” “Be flexible. Be willing to try something different.” “If a casting director asks you to make a change, it’s often just to see if you can do it.” “The hours on set are very restricted under six years.” “I think the best thing to do for your kid is to put them in plays.” “Put your kid in Improv.” “If I make a connection with a kid, then it doesn’t matter if they don’t have a resume.” “Don’t send me a 13 year old in fake eyelashes and a really short skirt.” “Keep your size info updated, and get new photos when necessary.” “Don’t have over-the-top expectations.” “Do plays. Get into a Shakespeare class. Read.”   Follow Sheila Russo HERE: Website:         http://www.srtalentmgmt.com/ Twitter:          https://twitter.com/SRTalentMGMT   Did you learn something useful in this episode?

Comedian/Actor/Writer Wayne Federman is my favorite comic, and he's just put out his debut comedy album, The Chronicles of Federman. A box set of three CDs (also available digitally) that spans his 30 plus years of unique, killer stand-up.  Judd Apatow, who writes the liner notes, says "Epic, hilarious, inspired and whimsical." And Mr. Apatow goes on and on. Oh, and I must reveal, Wayne is also my best pal. Wayne has acted in dozens of national commercials, with a proportionate amount of them being odd costumed characters. Regardless, Wayne shares his secrets on how he approaches his auditions and gets booked time and time again. We also chat about how he constructed and edited "Chronicles" himself, so plenty of tech talk here. Click here to check out his Geico spot playing poker with Kenny Rogers. I've posted a Toyota spot we did together at jordanbrady.com and you can see tons of Federman in "I Am Road Comic". Be sure to catch him on late night TV real soon. Ya' know he was the head writer for Jimmy Fallon, so figure it out. My next Commercial Directing Bootcamp will be in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, December 19th, 2015 - so sign up for Commercial Directing Bootcamp today! Read the reviews on this site. Pretty flattering. #blush. thanks, Jordan This episode is 80 minutes, give or take, of our banter. Please like the show on iTune

The Best Ever You is proud to welcome the Founder of Girls Above Society - Lauren Marie Galley. Making a Difference has been Lauren's destiny from the start. Growing up in the theater from the age of five instilled hard work, dedication, and responsibility. Embarking on a journey at the age of 16, Lauren traded high school for college and pursued her film/modeling career with greater drive. Pursuing a PHD in Clinical Psychology as an honors student, Lauren's desire to help young teens gain self confidence and leadership led to her launching (at the age of 17) “Girls Above Society”, a non profit organization with a mission to provide mentorship and awareness to young teen girls facing the pressures of today's society. Lauren has combined her film work and modeling igniting the “Girl Talk” program as a developmental, hands-on experience for young teens. Being an excellent role model with drive, determination and an amazing amount of compassion says without a doubt Lauren will continue to make a difference...one girl at a time... Lauren's latest film opportunities include a co-star role as Sparx McCoy along with Matt Lavine as Matt Mercury in “Matt Mercury -  Plot of the Galactic Mastermind” directed by Bill Hughes of Big Tex Movin Picture Company, and “Making of a Serial Killer” directed by Russ Miller of Cynsings Studios, both to be released 2013.  Lauren has been featured on ABC Family's “The Lying Game” as well as National Commercials such as Fox Sports and Jarritos.  http://www.girlsabovesociety.org http://www.laurengalley.com
