So there’s this local tea & coffee shop where a weird reflective voice actor tends to hang out. Grab a cup! Everyone's welcome at this table. 

Today we’re talking bodies and connection. “You know your body best. I trust your body.” How do we find ways to choose, change, and create environments where we want to steep? We are the authorities of our own bodies! That includes anatomy (sound, air, vibration, breath) and giving ourselves grace on low-capacity days (especially when we’re the household cook). 

Sarah also talks you through their/her physicality process while voicing characters:

Additional stuff:

Breath exercise options ~ in • out | in • out • pause | in • pause • out | in • pause • out • pause

Song mention ~ “Unbecome” I am the Imperatrix

Roz in Monsters Inc was voiced by Bob Peterson

The 8 senses (because even though I let the memory lapse go I HAD to go look it up later) ~ visual (sight), auditory (hearing), olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste), tactile (touch), proprioception, interoception, vestibular 

My episodes tend to be rated E because I cuss ;-)

You wander into your local tea & coffee shop...and find Sarah, a weird and reflective voice actor. Grab a cup! Everyone's welcome at her table.

Today the gab topic is childhood. Oooo there'll be rants about a culture that doesn't value children, parentification, dealing with aging parents (and overcooked broccoli). We'll talk about nostalgia, curiosity (shoutout to Neil deGrasse Tyson), child psychology and neuroscience, whimsical easy bake covens, and of course chocolate chip cookies.

Steep a strong cup today! There are tears and deep breaths.

We're talking about repair, connection, trusting ourselves, and breaking free from generational communication expectations. 

"I have to believe there is something after the rupture."

I'll gripe about that one relative who hogs the room at a family dinner and how noisy humans are.  I'll share a few weekly family traditions that began in 2020, pizza tips and shortcuts, and a key turning point in my life. 

"As we look inside to ourselves, in those sparkles of electricity, there are sparks of joy. There are things we might have forgotten that light us up, that bring us hope, that make us want to play and experiment. And I truly believe that within those things are the answers that we're seeking for our world."

Some of the spaces I spent time in, researching for this episode: 

Sound Credits

This is me in a deeply emotional moment while recording episode 10. It's an audio of me crying and utilizing my breath to regulate in a moment of overwhelm. As I was listening back to and editing the episode, I decided this audio needed to be shared in its own file. A year ago, I might not have been brave enough to share for fear of seeming weak and imperfect and messy and human. But I'm proud now. What a remarkable thing that I can witness myself feeling super intense things and processing it and getting through it.  

I always love watching and listening to outtakes. It shows how raw and real the creative process is. 

In episode 10, we reflect on the arc of our season of sound, science, and storytelling; how we begin, how we build, and how we let go. We talk about endings and what they offer us: closure, integration, gratitude, expansion, movement, and transformation.
