Here’s some shadow medicine for us all... in this week’s episode of the How To Speak Your Truth podcast I am incredibly honored to be speaking to Rochelle Schieck, founder of Qoya (and extra special guest, her son Desmond!). Qoya is a feminine movement practice based on the premise that through movement we remember our essence. Having danced Qoya for four years, I can say that one of my very favorite parts of a class is to dance the shadow side of the theme. In this episode,...

As fall arrives in the northern hemisphere, the theme we’ll be exploring this month on the podcast is Shadow. When we unconsciously reject our shadow, we cannot show up in our lives fully and authentically. There is medicine in the shadow. So in this solo episode to kick off October, I’ll share stories and reflections about my process of integrating my own shadow. In particular, I’ll share a spontaneous experience I had channeling my matrilineal grandmothers and asking them...

Today’s podcast topic is one of the nearest and dearest to my heart: your voice. So it is an honor that on this episode you’ll be hearing the deeply resonant and soulful voice of my colleague Lynn Singer. In her decades of studying and teaching acting and voicework in New York City, Lynn has worked with some of the greatest personalities in the world. But though she’s learned with some of the best, Lynn’s approach to voice training is fully and uniquely her own. Listen...

Our astrologer Virginia Rosenberg is back in honor of the fall equinox (in the northern hemisphere… and spring in the southern!). Now you may ask: Why is there a resident astrologer on the How To Speak Your Truth podcast? Because knowledge of celestial bodies can teach us so much about our own embodied experience on earth. The story in the sky right now is helping us understand the emotional weights we need to release. Especially as we enter Libra season - a time of exploring...

Meet Briel, my life “wifey.” We grew up together attending theatre camp and synagogue, and now we’ve been friends for 25 years. It hasn’t always been easy… we’ve mostly lived long distances apart, we’ve had our fights (we’ll tell you about the one that happened in wine country), and in many ways we’re two very different people. But over and over through the years, we’ve continued to commit to being best friends. In this week’s...

It's September. Here in the northern hemisphere, the stirrings of fall are in the air and kids are headed back to school. So it feels like the perfect time for me to admit something important: I am changing, and my business is too. 

If you happen to have been following my work as a voice coach for awhile, you know that up until recently I've been primarily teaching vocal health and presentation skills. Twelve years ago I lost my voice very suddenly due to a combination of overuse, acid...

When adults used to ask Alex Batdorf what she wanted to be when she grew up, she’d say: “I’m going to rule the world.” I think she wasn’t wrong... this queen is powerful. Alex is a serial entrepreneur, a business strategy coach, and a sought after speaker who helps women entrepreneurs scale their businesses to $1 million. Why? Because when women have the capacity to build highly successful businesses, the entire economy changes. And that’s the change Alex...

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting directly across from my soul sister Chocolako (yes, on my microphone in Brooklyn!) to record this episode about passion. Choc is an inspiring yoga teacher and wise soul who describes herself as a “spirited glomad with African roots and a rainbow heart.” Since meeting in Bali two years ago, Choc and I have spent hours discussing our hopes, dreams, and passions in life. In the episode you’ll hear Choc share about the importance of finding...

This week, I am deeply honored to be bringing you the voice of Jeff Kober on the How To Speak Your Truth podcast. Jeff is a meditation teacher and one of my greatest mentors. In this episode we talk about the Vedic definitions of truth and desire, and the question of how to find fulfillment in our lives (hint: no seeking required). After the conversation I thought to myself: “Well, Jeff answered our big question… we understand what truth is now, so I suppose I can stop recording...

This may prove to be one of the most nerve-wracking episodes to record ever. That’s for two reasons: 1) I make a full declaration of why I identify as polyamorous and 2) I recorded it live with my Speak Your Truth Membership Community (which I’ll be doing for all future solo episodes!).

August’s theme is Desire. In the episode I start by sharing the ancient Vedic perspective that true desire is not created by our ego, but rather sent by universal consciousness in order to...
