  • 13 | The End of an Era: The Pro Podcast Playbook Comes To A Close... and with it, The Music Fit Podcast: Remastered.
    Jan 14 2024

    As we turn the final page on the Pro Podcast Playbook, I invite you to consider what your life would look like if you chose to pivot. Movement, as many of you know had been an integral part of my life and a pivot is just another way to move. To navigate, to overcome obstacles or to get back on the right track.

    For me, it's been a ride filled with passion, pivoting from an Olympic speed skating dream to sparking a wellness revolution in the music industry, all inspired by a chance encounter with the Intergalactic Lovers and a transatlantic epiphany. This episode is a "see ya later"; a cap to a bunch of solid lessons that led me to have the option to move in a direction that feels more aligned with my purpose while I'm here.

    Today I share with you the backstory that ignited a movement, the inception of 'The Musician's Guide to Surviving the Rockstar Lifestyle,' and the podcast that brought this important dialogue to the forefront with mentors, friends, and industry peers. We even get into it with Busta Rhymes backing the crazy-ass ideas and the people that make them up. The irony of the power of connection I learned from just doing my thing in the world I'm super passionate about leading me right back to where it all began is palpable. And now I'm back to my crazy-ass idea of uniting creativity and wellness...
    I'm at the intersection where personal fulfillment meets professional evolution and it feels really good!

    Thanks for a wonderful time letting me be of service to you and your brand.

  • 12 | Igniting the Spark Within: Separating The "Business" from The "Owner"
    Jan 6 2024

    As an entrepreneur or business owner, how do you blend the essence of who you are with the pulse of your business? My guest, Sarah Malone, Hypnotherapist and Alternative Health Coach for businesses, delves deep into how the intricacies of our identity shape our entrepreneurial ventures, and vice versa. Together, we investigate the spiritual connection within business, the impact of traumas, and how acknowledging these elements can lead to profound personal and professional growth.
    In today's show:

    • We explore hypnotherapy, a tool that promises more than just relaxation— a path to the subconscious that can untangle the deepest knots of our past. 
    • We discuss the myths surrounding hypnotherapy, demonstrating its power to align business owners with their true north
    • We also navigate the shift towards holistic wellness, forging a space where physical, mental, and spiritual health coalesce, setting the stage for a collective rise in healing and success.


    Step away from the grind of hustle culture and into a flow that respects your limits and amplifies your strengths. Tune in, ignite that spark within, and integrate y

  • 11 | Crush Your 2024 Podcast Goals!: My 3-Step Formula For Successful Goal Setting
    Dec 30 2023

    Ready to crush your 2024 goals and make them a reality? That's exactly what we're here to do in this power-packed episode where we peel back the curtain on the transformative three-step process I use with all my mentees when helping them take control of their future. 

    In today's show, we:

    • Say goodbye to wishful thinking and hello to strategic action as we explore how the simple act of writing down your aspirations can turn the intangible into something you can tackle head-on. 
    • Discuss the infamous theory presented by Dr. Wayne Dyer; "change your mind, change your life", and how language is the root of your mindset.
    • Practice a couple of exercises; are you "10-ply"" and "Shouldin'" all over yourself? Let's give you actionable takeaways to follow through on your 2024 goals. 

    You'll also learn the art of holding yourself accountable with social accountability, and why 'selling yourself' on your own dreams isn't just motivational speak—it's a critical step toward making your podcast top the charts.
    So, grab your journal and let's get ready to script a year of success stories that we'll be celebrating together when
