Silly face! In the spirit of Friday and a dang fan

Silly face! In the spirit of Friday and a dang fantastic live session, I just want to say - you can do it.

Whatever ‘it’ is for you. You CAN and, frankly, should, do it.

But here’s the kicker - no one else can do if for you. You have to do it yourself. Instead of thinking of this with a sigh, think of the version of yourself you want to be.

My good friend and coach, Hailey Thomas, coached me through that particular season of my business (and recently, might I add).

I had too many thoughts and FEELINGS about what I was doing that were not serving me. All the feelings. About doing what I actually wanted to do.

So you know what I did? I freaking did it. Despite those feelings and thoughts. Not without days of complete exhaustion or laziness or stumbling over my own feet... but I kept going and continue to press on. Because I’ve had a taste of the Melanie ahead of me and I want to run with that lady.

I kept auditioning.
I kept reaching out to potential clients.
I kept putting myself out there in ways that totally stretched me.

Saying ‘this is who I am and how we can work together’. And that silly face you see is the giddiness I feel after having a bomb A session with a new and wonderful client I hope to work with again.

Wherever you are. However you feel. It will get better. But you gotta do the work, sister.

Someone once told me, ‘you’re doing this for your future self, and your future self will thank you for it.’ And doggon it... they were right. #voiceactor #voiceover #remotestudio #livesession #voactor #volife #confidence #youcandoit #doit

The idea to ‘work with what you have, until you

The idea to ‘work with what you have, until you have more to work with’ has been on my mind a lot lately. ⁣
⁣
This pic is me writing a script for the first podcast I created three years ago. From my RV dining table. On a remote part of the coast of Oregon. With a mic and my old MacBook Pro. ⁣
⁣
I wasn’t playing around with fancy tech and I sure didn’t have a nice, soundproof room to record in. And while my editing chops, studio, and general knowledge of podcasting has grown exponentially since then, I think back on this time with fondness. ⁣
⁣
It’s through deciding to create with what I had that I got to have conversations with people across the world - friends and strangers alike. And now I get to share those conversations and my story with many others. ⁣
⁣
Everything we do is about continuing to show up.⁣
⁣
Work with what you have, until you have more to work with. ⁣
⁣
Physically, emotionally, financially... whatever you perceive to be lacking, understand you probably already have what you need to get started. ⁣
⁣
Now, go do it. #podcasting #podcastersofinstagram #creating #audioproduction #voiceactor #remotestudio #justdoit
