Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

2021 is ending. The podcast season is ending. And our resident astrologer Virginia Rosenberg is back to share what's going on in the cosmos. The big highlights: there’s Pluto/Venus conjunction in Capricorn this month, a Venus Retrograde, and Saturn and Uranus are directly square again. Virginia explains it all with incredible clarity. Basically, our life as we’ve known it is ending. And it’s time to sow seeds for something new. Sending so much love on this last episode before my sabbatical.

89. About harmony (and why I’m taking a sabbatical), with Elissa

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

For me, harmony is about living in alignment with and acceptance of all that’s going on. In this last episode of the season, I share how over the past six months I’ve started listening to the voice inside me that’s letting me know I need a break. I’ll explain my plans and reflect on the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next. I know that by taking this step, I’m living in harmony with my inner truth. This episode is a vulnerable share and a pep talk to encourage you to do the same.

88. About looking out for each other, with Harper Spero

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

In 2012, Harper Spero learned she had a tumor in her lungs. After surgery, Harper radically changed her health routines and started her business so she could be in charge of her work habits. In COVID, Harper became outspoken about her experience and the importance of making decisions that support the collective. In this episode, Harper shares her story and speaks to the resistance many feel about vaccines and masks. We may not like these measures, but they’re the way we look out for each other.

87. About grit and redemption, with Coss Marte

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

When he was 23, Coss Marte was sentenced to prison. Coss quickly learned that he was in extremely poor health. So he started working out in the prison yard. Soon others joined him. Then, an organization called Defy Ventures showed up and helped him learn to turn his passion into a business. Coss returned to the Lower East Side and opened CONBODY, a prison-style Bootcamp. Coss’ story is a journey of grit and redemption. He highlights the importance of caring for our bodies and our voices.

86. About talking to people you disagree with, with Josh Trent

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

This fall, I saw an IG post from a friend. It was a screenshot of a response to President Biden’s mask mandate. The caption read, “I DO NOT comply.” He also said that he really wanted responses, especially from people who disagreed. So I took him at his word. Thank you so much Josh Trent for speaking with me in a way that most of us avoid. We agree that these conversations are the keys to creating change in our world. If this ignites something that you want to share please reach out to us.

85. About resistance, with Elissa

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

When you think of resistance, what comes up for you? Do you think of resistance as something bad? Something to be avoided? But let’s ask a different question: What is resistance good for? I would argue that resistance - which I’ll define as the experience of feeling pressure between ourselves and something outside of us - is good for helping us understand and define who we are. Join in a somatic experiment around the feeling of resistance, and explore why it can be a useful experience.

84. About elevating disability pride, with Tiffany Yu

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

Tiffany Yu is on a mission to elevate disability pride. She is working not just to lift the stigma about disability, but to celebrate it. In this episode, Tiffany shares her own disability origin story, and we discuss what it would look like to go from living in a supremacist society (where a certain way of being is “correct”) to truly living the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s not as impossible as you might think… sometimes it just involves stepping up to cut someone’s steak.

83. About staying creative and inspired, with Sean Brennan

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

Sean Brennan is my friend and collaborator, an incredible musician, and the editor of this podcast. Today I’m bringing him in to share about his creative process. Many of us have been taught being creative requires diligence and routine. Sean argues that routine can be the enemy of creativity. What can you do today to mix things up? To change your perspective? This is all stuff I needed to hear! And for a treat, at the end, you’ll get to hear the latest song from his band, Strange Weather.

82. About fall (equinox) 2021, with Virginia Rosenberg

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

Virginia Rosenberg is back for her quarterly visit on the Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth podcast. This episode comes to you in the middle of Mercury Retrograde, and includes a discussion of the major 2021 transit of Saturn square Uranus, entering the Age of Air. These movements in the sky lead us to ask: How do we achieve balance during this time? How do we take care of both ourselves and others? And how do we allow independence and interdependence to co-exist?

81. About balance, with Elissa

Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth

Welcome back to a new season of the podcast. This month our theme is Balance. In this episode, I want you to examine your understanding of that idea. You may think balance is a fixed, perfect point that you have to strive for. In reality, balance is dynamic and spacious. And falling or failing are important parts of continuing to find balance. We’re living in a world where a new normal is unfolding. It’s important to examine our idea of what it means to be in balance.
