Dealing with self-doubt is something that creatives have to learn how to compartmentalize and cope with. This week, let's take a look at strategies that yoga in mindfulness offers us for dealing with self-doubt.

Here's the song from [title of show] that I mention early in the episode: https://open.spotify.com/track/6Jdjzn2YDarrZYjogvRelM?si=2d52cf031fa7414b

Also, you'll notice the sound's a little different. I recorded this while waiting outside my son's school to pick him up, so there is some road noise. And at 91 degrees and the car windows rolled up, there's some extra mouth noise as I got progressively dehydrated!

Do you feel like your voice is stymied?

Maybe it feels that way because of physical challenges with our voice.

Maybe we feel like an external or internal force tamps down our voice.

Maybe we are at a loss of words to express a big or complicated feeling or emotion.

Let’s look at three ways to address how to unblock your beautiful voice.

Be sure to check out the special modified sun salutation I created just for this episode!
