One thing I’ve learned in my performing career is that I can never receive what I’m actually worth if I don’t see that worth in myself before anyone else.

For years, I hated my voice. She and I were always in a fight.

I wanted her to be something she wasn’t and she fought back.

It wasn’t until I started focusing on what I LOVED about my voice that we became amicable.

When I started to cherish her is when that really started to be reflected back in more consistent career results.

Artist, you have to go first always.

You have to love you and your work before the industry will match you.

You have to believe first.

Because only then will you show up with the energy and embodiment to match what you want to receive.

Only then will you ask for what you want with confidence and settle for nothing less.

Only then will you remain fiercely committed to arriving because you KNOW you belong there.

You go first and everything else will fall in line.

❤️

Did everything go perfectly this year? ❌

But was I blessed enough to be booked all of 2023 doing what kid me always dreamed of? ✅

As always, I’m swimming in gratitude.

A very long, long time ago (3 weeks) a show was opened, but I’m bad at social media so let’s pretend it’s still exciting. 🎉🙌🏾

Self validation is the MOST important validation for overall success.

Here are some ways you can build this skill:

1. Show yourself regularly how you’ve overcome challenges, learned new skills, and grown in ways that have blown your mind in the past.
2. Show yourself regularly what you already do well and what you like about what your artistry.
3. Track your progress. Simple, but truly one of the most helpful things to get better at validating yourself.

AND JUST TO KEEP IT CLEAR: I LOVE straw phonation. The reason straw phonation is uniquely helpful is because it creates an extended “narrow tract” for greater resistance and you can increase or decrease resistance by incorporating substances like water (my favorite)

So, yes, I know there are benefits to having alternative tools, the point is, you don’t need to break the bank to take advantage of these benefits. Use a straw! Use your body! Use other tools you already have around the house. Learn the why behind these accessories and then be resourceful like the greats before us who didn’t have access to all these fun toys. 🥰 by @theandreality

1. Prioritize what you’re doing well
2. Create boundaries around the number adjustments you give yourself
3. Build self trust by using your critical thinking to try and solve the problem yourself first
4. Give yourself an actionable first step

I bet you can think of 10 performers right now who are never prepared and confident as ever. Then, 10 more who are the most type A people you know who are freaking out before every audition or performance.

It’s not your preparation. It’s your thinking, your tolerance for difficult emotions, and your ability to self sooth.

You’ve got this! by @theandreality

I know it’s not fair! But we are gonna have to keep filtering through our masks in work settings and in our expression. But how can you still make this adjustment “be more authentic”/“just be yourself” useful?

It’s a balancing act between your real internal experiences and broadcasting through a mask.
