This month, we’ll be exploring a few themes to get you ready to keep your word, and to fuel your Voice, your expression and your projects in 2021.

This week it's all about the difference between changing and adapting. And for that, I'm traveling back to last February when I discovered Martin Crimp's new adaptation of one of my all-time favorite French plays: Cyrano de Bergerac. Four weeks left of 2020 - You're nearly there, lovely Voices. 

Voice work and breathwork are for everyone. As long as you have a voice and use it daily, you should learn to prepare it. To warm up. No singing scales here: this 5 point Voice Prep checklist is part of the foundation of your Vocal practice.

Voicelessness is not always a mechanical issue.

Do you find yourself with a strained and tired voice a bit too often to your liking? Have you ever been told to “speak louder”? Maybe you struggle with volume control when giving talks or working on recording. Or Perhaps you already speak at what you feel is a “loud” volume, and yet you can see your Voice is not acknowledged?

Let's look at the 3 pillars of your Voice and anchor it into today.

You've probably had people tell you to "find your flow" when it comes to movement, or work... But what about in creation? What should you do to get that flow going, to make space for it?

Today you shall breathe and I'm taking you on my 3 steps approach to getting the ball rolling when you're apprehensive, anxious or stuck about your creative process. 

This week, I felt the need to talk about the anger going on in the Arts industry after the recent government funded advert about "Retraining". This episode is here to honor the people and the reason that pushed me to create The Artful Athlete in the first place, back in 2018. To every Artist and Creator of all industries combined: you are brave, and you are seen. 

I'm preparing the next batch of episodes, so feel free to let me know what you'd like me to talk about next! Remember, this podcast is here for YOU. 

Catch you next week. 

In episode 9 I told you about the pain and anxiety I would get at the idea of writing, and the 5 steps I used to start healing my relationship to the Written art. 

Today I'm taking you on the second part of that healing process. And this week's key words are Silence and Listening. 

And because I haven't mentioned him in a while, expect a little Steven Pressfield quote to boost your Creative Adventure.

Do you stop yourself from speaking your mind?  Do you get anxious at the thought of sharing something you've written? Do you wish you could express yourself with more confidence, with more ease?  Quite often the reason we end up being blocked in our expression is because of an imposed or self-made belief. However it's one thing to be aware of it, and quite another to relieve your mind of those barriers.   Here's the 5 steps I used to reconcile my Expression and let myself be heard.
