Your Story Matters

Do social expectations get your heart beating fast and your head spinning faster? Have you ever struggled with what American society tells us about knowing what you're meant to do when you're in high school or college? Have you ever come to a crossroads in your life/career that surfaced the question "what do I do next?"

If you're anything like me, I struggle with knowing what to do next in terms of my job/career.  I share some insight into why that is (in my opinion) and provide some helpful resources so we can learn to stop overthinking about not having anything to show for our lives and just learn to live our life one day at a time.

I am so excited to introduce my best friend from college, Camara Rhodes.

Camara is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and vocal instructor from Pittsburgh, PA. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies from Kent State University and is in pursuit of his Estill Figure Proficiency certificate. Camara specializes in stylizing voices to create signature pop and rock sounds. Using Estill Voice Training, he teaches the anatomy and physiology of the voice and concentrates on the 12 isolated muscles that are responsible for making specific sounds when speaking and singing. 

When auditioning for rock musical theatre, Camara stresses the importance of understanding the time period to truly grasp the emotion and essence of the show. He teaches musical theatre history to help students remember that pop music and Broadway tunes are one and the same. He's helped fellow performers to audition for rock musicals from Grease and Hairspray to Rent, Spring Awakening, and Bonnie and Clyde. Performing credits include Rent (Angel), Hairspray (Seaweed), and Little Shop of Horrors. 

Camara released his debut single "Better Now" in the Spring of 2021. His video has 16,000 views and counting. He is in the process of his releasing his EP.

In this episode we talk about:

Welcome to the very first episode of Your Story Matters. I'm your host, Michaela Elizabeth, and I'm grateful you're here!

I'm always reflective every new year, and I'm even more so when I took a look back, not on the last year but the last 10 years.

You're invited to come along as I share my journey from high school to college to Covid-19 to finding my husband. It's been a wild ride and while I thought I'd always be doing theatre, I never expected this is the way my life would turn out. I'm grateful and very lucky but I'm not where I thought I'd be. And that's okay.

Are you not where you thought you'd be? It's okay if you're not. I believe 2023 will be your best year yet as you come to realize again or for the first time that your story matters.

New Year... New Podcast! 

I'm so glad you're here. This quick episode is another insight into the beginnings of this podcast and my hope for the coming days.

Hello and welcome to Your Story Matters Podcast. My name is Michaela Elizabeth and thank you for joining me on this journey. My hope for this podcast is that we will experience the power of storytelling and understand that we are the main characters in our own stories in order to break free from the false narrative that has been playing in our minds. I’ll share from my life and I’ll chat with friends about theirs on a variety of topics like relationships, Enneagram, seasons of life, and more. Your story matters. My story matters. And I’ll continue to tell both.
