Episode 34
On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation
This week, I’m talking to talented musician and published poet, Lauren Best. As an experienced vocal coach, Lauren talks about the power of voice and how singing is a gateway to many of the fulfillment foundations – things like relaxation, movement, connection to others, connection to our bodies, intuition, etc. Whether you’re wanting to sing or build some other skill, Lauren has some great insights and advice that applies to all of us.
We take a deep dive to discover that attitude is a product of mindset and energy (attitude = mindset x energy) and that preparation is a combination of managing your expectations and doing the work (preparation = expectations + effort). We also discuss the importance of “3 P’s”: preparation, presence and purpose.
One of my favourite parts of the conversation was building Lauren’s equation together:
14k + 7h + 7fd + 7e + 7fi + 7n + 4le +20w
We can drag ourselves down before we’ve had a chance to blast off
