Today I'll be coaching a functional strength set. Functional workouts train your muscles to work together in ways that imitate everyday movements, like lifting groceries, pulling on socks or bending down to pick something up you've dropped on the floor. All while I discuss building a foundation for your business, or a fitness plan, by developing valuable, sustainable habits. There's no shortcut to results, only showing up every day, being present, and putting in the work to progress along a path toward our goals.

In this episode, I guide you through a progression run while I lay out the reasons I'm not worried about being replaced by A.I. clones in my voiceover business, and why maybe you, fellow creative freelancer, shouldn't either.

In this episode, we work on our arms and shoulders while I talk about jealousy, especially professional jealousy. Where does it come from, and how can we deal with these negative feelings that not only impact our mental well-being, but also our business relationships too?

Today, I guide you through a fun run out in the sun while I talk about prevention and what it means with regards to preparing our bodies for a workout and what it means with regards to our creative freelance business.

We're going to cover:

• Backups of files and spare equipment
• Password best practices
• Backup plans, because we need to deliver the goods...no matter what!

I know, no one wants to talk about prevention, it sounds like extra work and expenses we don't need, but what could be the potential costs if we don't do it?

Today, I guide you through an upper body mobility workout while I discuss the realities of our loved ones, friends and family, giving us unsolicited career advice because they want the best for us and don't want us to experience failure, struggle, or disappointment.

How can we be affirmative in our choice of career path, while not impacting our relationships with people who only want us to succeed?

Just remember:

• Don't be defensive. Stick to calm, measured counterarguments.
• Explain your process. They probably have completely the wrong idea about what you do.
• Have boundaries. Listen with respect to their opinion, but still stick to your guns.

Today, I'm going to guide you through a core strength workout while I contemplate multitasking in the workplace, and whether that means we are being more, or maybe less, productive.

We multitask a lot within our businesses. I know I do. Especially at the beginning when you are a one-person show. Not only do you provide the core service, but you are also the accounting, shipping, marketing, sales, etc., departments as well.

And you have to squeeze it all into your day, and the list never seems to diminish. It's frustrating.

Can we find a way out from under all the hats?

I'm going to guide you through a no-equipment, limited-space cardio workout while I ponder what it means to be authentic personally and professionally.

That word authentic gets used a lot, especially concerning our online presence, but in practical terms, how do we apply it? And should there be limits?

Here's what I think:

• Don't play it too safe. Bland marketing is forgettable
• Don't chase trends. Make them instead!
• If you feel too vulnerable sharing it, then don't
• Your uniqueness is your strength!

The important thing is to do what you feel good doing. Not what everyone else thinks you should do.

In this episode, I'm going to guide you through a hip and spine mobility workout while I tell you about my struggle with Imposter Syndrome and how I'm working through it. Not easy to feel like you have a seat at the table when you have an employee count of one, right?

I don't know about you, but I struggled with imposter syndrome for years. It took me a long time before I told people I was a VO artist when someone asked me what I did for a living. Or get business cards. Or hand them out after I finally got some, and instead hid them in a secret inner pocket of my purse next to my lack of self-worth.

The only comparison that really matters is between your day 1 and where you are now. The only permission you need to declare yourself worthy of your job title is your own.

We are all just at different points along our journey. Instead of letting ourselves be intimidated by others who are further along than we are, what if we let ourselves be inspired?
