Podcasts about Taking Up Space

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the belief that women are "too much" and explores how cultural conditioning teaches many women to shrink themselves to maintain acceptance and harmony. Drawing from personal experience, leadership research, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology, Andrea explains why visibility can feel unsafe, how self-silencing affects confidence and income, and why taking up space is often a nervous system challenge rather than a capability issue. She shares practical strategies for trusting your intuition, setting boundaries without over-explaining, and reclaiming your authority in business and life. This episode is a powerful invitation for women to stop editing themselves and start leading from their full presence....CHAPTERS00:00 A Moment of Self-Abandonment 02:12 The Belief That You're Too Much 04:38 How Girls Are Taught to Stay Small 07:14 Why Visibility Feels Unsafe 10:22 Trusting Your Intuition Over Approval 13:48 The Cost of Over-Explaining 17:05 Taking Up Space and Owning Your Authority 20:11 Practical Ways to Stop Shrinking 23:02 The Ripple Effect of Visibility...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business AuditTAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

Send us Fan MailWhy do you move? Why do you exercise? There are plenty of reasons, but when we ask people if they'd move in the same way, if movement didn't change how their bodies looked, we often hear a resounding NO. You have full autonomy but.....While we believe that everyone has full autonomy over their bodies, we also know how beneficial movement and exercise can be for us. We are very passionate about empowering people to feel stronger, fitter, more mobile, just better. And at our stage in life we fully admit that the prospect of fragility in older age makes us want to build muscles, bone mass and mobility now, so that we can stay active and healthy as we get older. Different Access Points to Movement....There are different access points for different people based on age, physical capacity, time, financial resource - and whilst training for our old lady bodies (more on that in our next episode!) feels very appropriate for us now, if you are a younger listener you might resonate more with wanting to feel stronger, or improving your mental health.Adding In, Not Taking Away....Exercise has soooo many benefits, and we want you to find something you enjoy. And whilst one thing is better than no thing, we invite you to feel the difference if you add something new in. For example, if you love Yoga that's great, but how would it feel if you added some cardio or strength training in? Or if you are into high energy workouts, how would it feel to add in some gentle walks in nature?Can You Reframe Your Why?How would it be to reframe your WHY and instead of focussing on exercising solely for weight loss (not effective), toning (just a marketing term), body transformation (short-lived and unsustainable), we moved with the aim of getting stronger, getting empowered, feeling better, being more mobile, having fun?We'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic, so please get in touch if you have any thoughts or questions!Some links we'd love to share with you:Elizabeth Davies, Training for My Old Lady Body : Elizabeth will be on the podcast next week!Steph Gaudreau: Steph specialised in strength for Women 40+.Tommy Brown, Celebrity Wellness Coach ‍♂️Goal‑Oriented Training for.

Send us Fan MailWhat if compassion doesn't start out there… but within?In this episode of Picture Love, I'm sharing what compassion looks like in real life—especially on the days when things feel heavy, uncertain, or just a little harder than usual.We talk about why so many of us apologize for simply taking up space… and how self-compassion can gently shift that.This isn't about carrying everyone else's emotions or fixing the world.It's about learning to stay open, present, and kind to yourself—so you can show up with more clarity, more capacity, and more love.There's also a simple invitation woven through this episode:To notice the “winks” in your life…the quiet reminders that say, keep going—this matters.And maybe, to offer that same reminder to someone else.New day - marking the 2500 download milestone it was time for a fresh evergreen intro a refresh!

Apparently, speaking in front of people is one of the most feared things in the world. Which… checks out. Especially if you're listening to this.This conversation made me want to use my voice more. Not in a performative, “be louder” way. More in a stop overthinking and just say the thing kind of way.This week, I'm joined by Annelise McCarthy: Speaking coach and the voice behind You're On Mute. She's just wrapped a national tour across Australia, teaching thousands of women how to speak with confidence.We talk about:Why you're not actually “bad at speaking”The gap between what you think… and what you say out loudThought-to-speech fluency (and how you can train it)Why confidence doesn't come before you speakWhat “taking up space” actually looks like (and why it's not about being louder)We also get into the less visible side of it: the self-doubt, the inner work, and the routines Annelise relies on before she steps on stage.If you've ever sat in a meeting, had the thought… and then kept it to yourself, this one's for you.Send it to someone who's been told to “just speak up more.”Or save it for the next time you're about to go off mute.Connect with Annelise: https://www.instagram.com/theannelisemccarthy/Follow Awfully Quiet: https://www.instagram.com/awfullyquietpod/

What does it really mean to "communicate while female"? Dr. Kate Mason — executive communications coach, world-champion debater, and author of Powerfully Likeable — joins Lori to unpack the invisible tightropes women walk at work every single day.Kate shares why likability is a form of power (not a liability), the difference between imposter syndrome and what she calls "imposing syndrome," and why women are statistically the best negotiators in the world — just not when negotiating for themselves.Plus: why the hard conversations you have at home make you better at work, how to advocate for a promotion without it feeling emotional, and the one small daily habit that changes everything.If you've ever toned yourself down to seem more "professional," or held back an idea because you didn't want to bother anyone — this episode is for you.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

Have you ever talked yourself out of wearing something, going somewhere, or simply being seen because of what your body looks like? This episode is one you're going to want to save and share!I sat down with Lise Thorne, who you might know as @walking_this_way on Instagram, after one of her reels stopped me mid-scroll. In it, she walked into the ocean in a bikini on a family vacation, no filter, no preparation, no waiting for a "better" version of herself. That video went around the world because women everywhere saw themselves in it.Lise is 49, a mum, a triathlete, and she is loudly on a mission for women to take up space. We talk about the moment she looked at a photo of her 16-year-old self and realized her body was never the problem, it was the story she was telling herself. We get into how our Gen X generation was taught there was one right way to have a body, why the critical voice in our heads isn't protecting us anymore, and why tiny steps toward being seen are where the real magic happens.This is one of those conversations that will leave you feeling like you just got a pep talk from a friend who truly gets it.Connect with Lise: Instagram: @walking_this_wayRelated Episodes You'll Love:Ep 190: Menopause and Body Image: How to Feel Like Yourself AgainEp 141: Navigating Body Grief in Midlife with Nina ManolsonEp 182: Visibility as Generosity: Rethinking Photos, Aging & Confidence with Kristen VallejoWhat did you think of this episode?

What if you're doing all the right things, but still missing the point? In Luke13, Jesus tells the parable of The Barren Fig Tree that had everything it needed. It had time, resources, nutrients, and opportunity—but still produced nothing. Eventually the owner of the garden says, “Why should it keep wasting soil?” It's possible to be around spiritual things, attend church, read your Bible, and still not produce the kind of fruit God is looking for. Exposure to truth is not the same as obedience to truth. Am I producing fruit or just taking up space?

According to Journal of Clinical Medicine, roughly 62.3% of women report experiencing pain around the back or neck and limb areas.  Most of us have accepted the pain as a normal part of life that just happens in our thirties, what comes with having kids and part of aging. Broads coaches have observed that that happens when women have been conditioned to stay small, move less, and treat their bodies as something to shrink rather than something to build. The women who start strength training do not just get stronger. They get their energy back, their pain starts to ease, and have more confidence to move their bodies.  The goal is no longer to tone the muscles but to chase how to finally feel good with their bodies. We dive deeper into this in the latest episode of Broads with Taylor McGee and T-Ferg, two coaches in the Broads Coach Program who have spent years helping women unlearn the myths of the fitness industry and build something real instead. We also discuss why imperfect action breeds motivation and what actually gets women to show up consistently, why the perfect time to start does not exist and why messy is better than waiting. Taylor McGee is a Philadelphia-based certified coach with seven years in the fitness industry. T-Ferg is a Denver-based coach with over ten years in and around movement and strength. Together they bring a clear-eyed, no-nonsense perspective on what women actually need, not just in the gym, but in how they show up for themselves and for their clients every single day. What's Discussed: (03:20) Why pull-ups are one of the most powerful things a woman can build (08:45) How celebrating your wins without a "but" changes everything (12:10) Why confidence and ego are not the same thing & how women were conditioned to confuse them (18:30) The toning myth: why the word was designed to keep women small  (24:15) Why motivation is a myth and what actually gets you to show up consistently (31:40) How to start so small that showing up becomes inevitable (38:20) Why the perfect time to start is always right now especially when life is messy (44:10) What a coach actually does for you that a workout app never can (51:25) Why real results take five years and why that should excite you, not scare you (57:30) What taking up space actually means in the gym and in your life Thank You to Our Sponsors: BroadsCOACH: Head to broads.com/join and apply for BroadsCOACH.

Leadership journeys are rarely linear. They are shaped by identity, experience, opportunity, and sometimes the courage to step forward when others hesitate. In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with Julia C. Rock — keynote speaker, leadership consultant, and executive coach — to explore how layered identities influence leadership journeys and workplace dynamics. Julia shares how growing up as a first-generation American with Caribbean immigrant parents from Barbados, combined with her faith background and experience navigating corporate America as a Black woman, shaped how she approaches leadership, visibility, and resilience. Before becoming an entrepreneur and leadership advisor, Julia built her career in financial services and the energy industry, where she managed global teams and oversaw billions in operational responsibilities. Along the way, she discovered that leadership growth often comes from raising your hand for the assignments others avoid and learning to take up space in rooms where your voice matters. Together, Lola and Julia unpack powerful lessons about career ownership, sponsorship, burnout prevention, and the future of work. This conversation offers practical insights for professionals navigating leadership while balancing identity, ambition, and wellbeing. What You'll Learn in This Episode ✔ How immigrant upbringing and faith shaped Julia's leadership mindset ✔ Why raising your hand for difficult assignments can accelerate your career ✔ The difference between mentors and sponsors — and why both matter ✔ Why visibility and taking up space are critical leadership skills ✔ How burnout often stems from misaligned expectations and lack of boundaries ✔ Practical strategies for advocating for yourself at work ✔ Why leadership in the future workplace requires human skills alongside technology Key Leadership Insight from Julia “You are the CEO of your career and your life. Focus on what you can control, and don't let the obstacles you can't control define your path.” About Our Guest Julia C. Rock is a keynote speaker, leadership consultant, and certified executive coach dedicated to transforming workplace dynamics and helping leaders create environments where employees can thrive. Julia has managed and scaled global teams across industries, navigating challenges like burnout, disengagement, and inequality. Her work focuses on helping leaders simplify leadership, build strong workplace cultures, and develop practical approaches that improve team performance and retention.

People-pleasing doesn't come from weakness—it comes from survival.In this deeply grounding solo episode of Masks Off: Inner Freedom for People-Pleasers & Perfectionists, Kim Gross unpacks why so many women struggle to speak up, rest, or set boundaries without guilt. Drawing from personal experience, nervous-system awareness, and years of inner work, Kim reveals how people-pleasing is often formed in childhood and reinforced by a culture that equates worth with productivity.This episode invites you to pause, reflect, and gently question the patterns that keep you overgiving, overfunctioning, and disconnected from yourself.You'll hear why:Saying “no” can feel threatening to your body—even when it's necessaryGuilt is often a sign of growth, not failureSelf-abandonment shows up in subtle, everyday waysBoundaries aren't about pushing people away—they're about coming home to yourselfKim also introduces her Five-Step Power Pathway, a practical framework designed to help you recognize patterns in real time and begin unhooking from them with compassion instead of shame.This episode is especially for women who:Feel responsible for other people's emotionsStruggle with rest, stillness, or self-careTie their value to productivity or achievementWant freedom without becoming hardened or disconnected✨ This isn't about fixing yourself.✨ It's about remembering who you are underneath the mask.00:00 The Right to Self-Care00:32 Welcome to Masks Off02:01 The Guilt of Speaking Up04:52 Childhood Conditioning & Survival Patterns09:37 Understanding & Interrupting Autopilot18:23 The Five-Step Power Pathway20:16 Reflective Questions24:16 Final Thoughts & InvitationIf this episode resonated, you're not alone—and you don't have to do this work by yourself.Connect with Kim, explore her teachings, or learn more about working together by visiting the links in the show notes.

Training starts to feel heavy when the goal is shrinking instead of becoming capable. What began as a viral moment around a meatball sub exposed something deeper: how diet culture, fear of “bulking,” and quiet food rules slowly erode confidence and self-trust long before real change has a chance to stick.We dive deeper into this in the latest Broads Podcast with Jessica Burke. We also chat about why “toning” is misleading, the real difference between exercising and training with intention, what actually drives gym intimidation, and why taking up space changes far more than just the body.Jessica Burke holds a Master's degree in Kinesiology and is CSCS certified. She is the host of The Strength Chick Podcast and works as a strength and conditioning coach. Her work centers on dismantling diet culture and encouraging women to take up space in the gym and in strength and conditioning.What's Discussed:(03:39) The meatball sub moment, diet culture, and the food guilt women live by(09:19) Why training to be smaller limits what women's bodies can do(11:16) The truth behind “toning” and how language shapes fear around building muscle(13:34) Fear of bulking as a form of avoiding discomfort and justifying inaction(17:42) The male gaze, gym intimidation, and reclaiming the right to take up space(19:33) Why exercising feels productive but training creates lasting change(34:41) Redefining effort, intensity, and what “hard” actually means in the gym(52:00) Taking up space as an identity decision, not a confidence traitCheck out more from Broads:Website: http://broads.appInstagram: @broads.podcast @broads.appCheck out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: http://taralaferrara.comInstagram: @taralaferraraYoutube: @TaraLaferraraTiktok: @taralaferraraCheck out more from Jessica Burke, CSCS, M.S.:Instagram: @coachjburkeTiktok: @coachjburkeYoutube: @coachjburke

In this episode of Be Truly Heard, coach and voice expert Anne Leatherland explores what it truly means to move “from strength to strategy” as a woman in business. Building on the series theme of Taking Up Space, Anne delves into the two essential types of strength - inner strength and vocal strength - and how combining these can help you communicate with authority, warmth and authenticity.Anne discusses how inner strength is the quiet self-belief that helps you stand your ground, even when your voice shakes or you feel uncertain. Vocal strength, meanwhile, is about control, presence and stamina - using your voice effectively so it carries both authority and warmth. Drawing on her experience as a voice trainer and coach, Anne shares practical advice for women in business who want to be truly heard, including how to use vocal variety, show up in your values, and reflect on your impact.Key TakeawaysInner strength is the foundation of self-belief and persistence, helping you speak up even when it feels challenging.Vocal strength is about control, presence and stamina, allowing your voice to carry authority and warmth.Strategy is the intentional use of your strengths to achieve your desired outcomes - choosing how you want to come across and what impression you want to leave.Use vocal variety (pace, pauses, tone) to highlight key points and engage your audience.Show up in your values - align your words, voice and self for authentic communication.Reflect on your impact and use feedback constructively to improve for next time.Best Moments“Inner strength doesn't always feel like boldness or certainty. Often it shows up more as persistence, quiet courage, that decision to keep going or to speak when you'd normally stay silent.”“Vocal strength isn't just about being loud… it's about having control, presence and stamina.”“Strategy, after all, is about choice. That's when you stop simply reacting to situations and instead begin to choose how you want to come across.”“Strength is not just about holding your ground. It's about recognising what's already within you, developing the skills that allow your voice to flourish, and then choosing to use those strengths with intention.”About the HostWith over 28 years' experience, Anne Leatherland helps clients develop vocal confidence and personal growth. Her holistic approach bridges science, education and the performing arts, supporting women to be truly heard in business.Find out more: https://anneleatherland.co.uk/

Send us a textActor, director, writer, and producer Tijuana Ricks joins At the Podium for a deeply reflective conversation about origin, representation, and what it means to take up space in a life that truly belongs to you.Known for her work across more than 100 episodes of television—including the Marvel Netflix universe (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist), multiple seasons of Billions, and Tiny Beautiful Things—Tijuana reflects on how being raised in a big, loud, Black, Creole matriarchy in Gramercy, Louisiana shaped her voice, presence, and sense of agency.In this episode, Tijuana poses one of the most honest questions anyone navigating high-pressure careers, elite training programs, or long-held dreams can ask:Are you actually happy?She challenges the idea that persistence alone is virtuous, and speaks candidly about what happens when we continue doing what we think we should be doing simply because we've invested so much time and identity into it—even when it no longer feeds us. This conversation explores how representation matters not only on screen, but behind the camera, and how claiming authorship over your life can change the way you move through the world.This is not a conversation about quitting.It's about listening.About joy, sustainability, and self-authorship.

We've lived through the "be as small as possible" trend before and I for one refuse to sit back and just let it happen. I might not be able to do a lot or change the trend, but I can be an advocate for TAKING UP SPACE.  I guess you can say I'm a little passionate about this.

Tenderoni Hotline #10: Hello my love, and welcome back to the Tenderoni Hotline, our soft and spacious corner of the Feminist Wellness Podcast where we explore your most tender questions about healing, nervous system care, and coming home to yourself. In today's episode, we're doing something a little different and a lot of fun. I'm joined by my dear friend and fellow coach Sara Fisk for a warm, thoughtful, and deeply validating conversation about people pleasing, fawning, and how to find your voice again after a lifetime of being trained to shrink. Together, we unpack what it really means to be a “good girl,” how people pleasing shows up as both a social strategy and a nervous system response, and why so many of us freeze or default to yes even when we mean no. Sara also shares a powerful communication tool that helps you speak with more clarity and confidence without swinging into harshness or abandoning yourself in the process. This episode is filled with laughter, real talk, and body-based insight you can start using right away. If you've ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “Why didn't I say what I really meant?” this one is for you. So get cozy, pour yourself a little something soothing, and come laugh, learn, and heal with us. Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?

From Invisible to I'm Here: Midlife, People-Pleasing & the 67-Degree Thermostat   If you've ever walked into a room and instantly shrank three sizes… or found yourself over-giving, over-understanding, and still somehow overlooked… this one's for you. In this episode, I get brutally honest about my own people-pleasing patterns — the “nice girl” identity that kept my inner thermostat stuck at 67 degrees, no matter how much I wanted a 72-degree life. We're talking childhood emotional non-attunement, being #7 of 7 kids, midlife triggers, and why simply “being nice” has quietly sabotaged my success, visibility, and self-worth for decades.   In this episode, I talk about: What it actually means to be #7 of 7 kids and a twin in an already maxed-out household — and how emotional non-attunement forms the “I don't need anything” identity. The two faces of people-pleasing: the over-functioning, doing-for-everyone sister, and the emotion-holding, invisible, “I'm fine” version (you). How making yourself “easy” and “low maintenance” as a child becomes a core survival strategy that follows you into midlife. Why you can be outwardly confident and competent, yet still walk into big groups and feel small, optional, or invisible. The thermostat / upper limit analogy: why your inner setting might still be 67 degrees — and how that quietly caps your happiness, success, and capacity to receive. How your childhood emotional reality shows up in: friendships (being the optional friend) marriage (people-pleasing in partnership) parenting (over-correcting from your own upbringing) business and visibility (struggling to hold momentum). The difference between healthy kindness and toxic niceness that costs you your voice, energy, and self-respect. Why triggers, tests, and midlife “mayhem” are often invitations to rewire, not punishment. The first steps to re-parenting your inner “I don't need anything” girl, so you can finally allow yourself to want, ask, take up space — and stay.   “It was my understanding, very early on, that in order to get any crumb of attention, I needed to be easy and nearly invisible.” “My version of people-pleasing wasn't over-doing — it was shrinking. It was becoming so low maintenance that nobody ever had to show up for me.” “You are the only consistent factor in every room where you feel ignored, overlooked, or ghosted. At some point, you have to look at the energy you're bringing — not to blame yourself, but to finally free yourself.” “I wasn't always fine. I just got really good at surviving my own disappointment.” “You can't upper-limit your way into a bigger life. If your nervous system is still set at 67 degrees, it will shut down every time you get close to 72.” “Being nice is beautiful. Being nice at the expense of your own safety, needs, and truth is something entirely different.”   This work isn't about becoming someone new. It's about finally understanding who you've been all along. If you're curious to go deeper, I host intentional workshops and gatherings through The Experience Project — including the Magnetic Midlife Project cohort and Human Design workshops that help you understand your patterns without judgment. Everything I create is gentle, practical, and designed for midlife — when we don't have time to force things that don't fit anymore. You can explore it all at

Do you ever feel like you need to fix your body before you can finally step into the bigger life you want? If the voice in your head tells you that you're not ‘ready' to be seen, speak up, or go for your biggest goals until you lose weight, this episode is for you. Today, we are joined by special guest, brand strategist, and author Sara Chambers. Sara is the president of Elly & Nora Creative, helping female entrepreneurs step into visibility and claim authority. She joins us to discuss the core message of her new book, Do It Fat: An unapologetic guide for women who are done waiting for a smaller body before they let themselves be seen, heard, and fully alive. In this honest, heartfelt, and fire-filled conversation, we pull back the curtain on how body hatred steals our visibility, dampens our voice, and limits our impact. Sara offers powerful insight into why we hold ourselves back and how we can choose a different story today. You do not have to wait for a smaller body to live a bigger life. In This Episode, We Cover: The Sneaky Link: Why body shame often shows up right when you try to be more visible in your life and business. The Intellectual Cost: How believing you take up "too much physical space" leads you to take up less intellectual space—hiding your ideas and keeping your brilliance quiet. Visibility is Non-Negotiable: Why your decision, actions, and ambition must be separated from how your body looks right now, or how it might look in the future. The Brand That Never Lives: How an unwillingness to be seen in the body you have prevents your brand from truly living and helping your ideal people. Choosing Your Story: Why beauty and body standards are just trends tied to market culture, giving you the power to choose a different, more liberating narrative. The Media Audit: Sara's practical advice for filling your feed with diverse, powerful women doing big things to support your own confidence and ambition. One Small Step Today: Practical ways to feel more powerful in the body you have right now. Key Takeaways & Quotes: "The only true loss is when you hide and no one gets to see what you offer." "You are allowed to decide you disagree. You are allowed to choose a different story about your body, your time, and how you show up." "When you believe you take up too much physical space, you start taking up less intellectual space." Resources Mentioned: Guest: Sara Chambers, Author and Brand Strategist.

In this episode of Be Truly Heard, Anne Leatherland revisits the idea of “owning the space” and takes it further, on how to take up space so you feel you belong in the room and your message lands. She explains that voice is both physical and personal, shaped by breath, alignment and the nervous system, and shares two client wins (Elsa's impromptu graduation talk and Claire's high-stakes Zoom) to show how grounding, breath–vocal fold coordination and seated dynamic alignment can transform confidence and clarity. Anne contrasts rigid “power poses” with natural, responsive body use, then guides safe awareness exercises on head–neck balance (drawing on the Alexander Technique), spinal curves and allowing micromovements to stay balanced. Key TakeawaysOwning the space is essential, but feeling entitled to take it up (you belong here; your voice deserves to be heard) is the unlock for confident speaking.Swap “posture” for dynamic alignment: a responsive, balanced stance or seat that keeps you free to move and speak, never rigid. Think micromovements, not statues.Head–neck balance changes your sound: craning forward, lifting the chin, leaning, or slumping tightens the system; a small “nodding dog” balance frees it. Try counting to five in each position to feel the difference.Your voice is a system: breath interacts with the vocal folds, supported by abdominal and stabilising musculature, so alignment and breathing habits matter.Best Moments“Successful communication begins before you even open your mouth.”“Our head is not attached to our neck like a lollipop on a stick.”“We need to allow what I call micro movements.”“Our voice is the result of lots of different processes.”About the hostWith over 28 years' voice-teaching experience, Anne Leatherland helps clients progress quickly and achieve goals with confidence.

This week we were blessed by the cringe gods for giving us the gift of the absolute disaster of the Blue Origin trip!  We dive into the nitty gritty of the controversies, dive deep into the conspiracies, and have a little chuckle at Jess Bezos eating shit.  Who knew it was possible for celebrities to be THIS tone deaf!

Ray and Lucie talk about the Blue Origin Lady Space Flight, penal systems, gangs, smells, and much more. https://www.patreon.com/RayKump for an extra episode every week!Follow Kump on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/raykumpKump Hand Merch https://bonfire.com/store/kump/Follow Ray on Sound Cloud https://on.soundcloud.com/QbP8SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Instagram.com/EMGECONSTRUCTION
