28 MAY. 2024 · Louise, Actor and Yoga Teacher, talks about when her voice suddenly became an issue for her during performing.  She carried on performing but knew it wasn't right.  She talks about how she was treating her voice as a "diva" and how she brought in some of her mindset thinking from her Yoga teaching and Mentor to view her thoughts.  She realised how her self-talk was not helping and illustrates how she turned this around.  "You are not your thoughts" and she talks about noticing without judging and her realisation that she was not broken.   Her insights and journey are fascinating and I hope you will something that resonates with you.  Thank you for listening.
