Muse Room Podcast

Welcome to Episode TWENTY of the podcast! Yay, 20 episodes! I know it is a small mile marker but it is still one that I am proud of. Thank you to everyone that has shown their support. I am excited to continue to make this content better and to continue making new connections.

In this episode I share a conversation I had with my friend Regina. She is the founder and director of Dance Arts by Regina, a dance studio here in the Cleveland area. We talk about fear, failure, how she tunes into her intuition, how she started teaching dance, what it took to open a dance studio and more! You do not want to miss out on this conversation. It is long, organic and left me feeling really inspired afterwards. Happy listening!

Once again the internet has connect me with new friends! In this episode I am sharing a conversation I had with the hosts of the Finding Your Shine Podcast, originally known as the Wine and Shine Podcast. I found them a little over a year ago because I found out that Katie Dalebout was a guest on their podcast and I listened to Katie's podcast, So I started with their episode with Katie and have been listening to them ever since. They are the perfect combination and balance of bubbly chatter and thoughtful questions. We talk about Nina's journey into health coaching, Liz's relationship with food and money, podcasting and body image. I so happy I got the opportunity to chat with them and I hope you enjoy our conversation. Happy listening!

Here is how to connect with Nina and Liz:

Thank you so much for tuning into episode 18 of the podcast! I am so excited you're here. I met Lindy through the internet which is how I've met a lot of people lately. I really do think platforms like Instagram are a gift because it allows me to connect with people I normally wouldn't even come into contact with. It feels good to turn an interaction on the internet into something that is real and tangible. And because of Instagram I was connected with today's podcast guest. Lindy has a blog called A Linderella Story where she shares stories of the humans behind super cool brands and creative projects. Just like I use podcasting as a way of connecting with people, she uses writing as a way of connecting with people. In our conversation we talk about her journey into starting her blog, writer's and creative blocks, our interview processes and more. Lindy cares deeply about supporting women and the creatives in our community so I think you'll fall in love with her right away. So, enjoy our conversation and if it does resonate with you please consider sharing it with a friend.

I chatted with Sam from She Collective just a few days after Kavanaugh was appointed and this episode comes out soon after the Trump administration announced that it is working towards defining transgender people out of existence. So I am feeling the pull to use this platform to talk about some of the pressing issues we are facing as humans. I love talking to creatives about their businesses but I am also starting to wonder about how things like creativity, intersectional feminism, inspiration, anti-racism, wellness, entrepreneurship and activism are intertwined. And how do we make things like women's health and self care accessible to a wider range of people? I think this episode is a good place to start. I sat down with Sam and we talked about what is inspiring her, how to maintain momentum as an activist, her journey as a doula and lactation consultant and why she felt the need to provide a space that became the She Collective. Among other things, Sam talked about how human to human work is what is important right now and how leveraging privilege is harmful. So I hope you enjoy this episode and thank you so much for tuning in.
