in this podcast Jen & Louise chat about finding your voice through song, how women's voices change throughout their lifetime, how hormones shift voice, how the diaphragm, pelvic floor and vocal chords work together and a whole lot more... watch to the end to see Jen have her very first ever singing lesson! Louise McDonald: I began my singing career at Scottish Opera then specialised in concert and oratorio (sacred choral music), working extensively in Scotland and internationally. The experience of my own voice loss following thyroid surgery in 2006 has given me precious knowledge and skill to help you build your voice again with confidence, step by step, as I have done. For a long time I kept it quiet so that those in my profession wouldn’t know, in case I didn’t get work. Silence is too great a price to pay, so I now have the courage to live a more authentic expression of who I am, so that I can serve others in fully recovering, getting their voice and confidence back. If this is you, I’ve done all the hard work so that you don’t need to try out many approaches to singing again. I discovered a more mature, rich and satisfying sound and have been able to continue professional performing to this day. If I can do it, so can you! If you’re prepared to do the work over six months, the skills you will have gained won’t go away, as I’m teaching you to use your voice in a sustainable way.

When Mary McManus received the diagnosis of Post-Polio Syndrome, a progressive neuromuscular disease by Western Medicine Standards in December of 2006, she refused to take the diagnosis sitting down. She was told to prepare to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair and expect an accelerated decline in functioning as she aged. She was at the height of her award-winning career as a social worker at the Boston VA Outpatient Clinic just 3 years shy of retirement. In February of 2007, she got still and asked for Divine Guidance as she often had when facing challenges throughout her life. The poem “Running the Race” flowed out of her followed by an anthology of poems that harnessed the power of the mind/body connection. The runner within Mary was born in her imagination. In May of 2007, Mary took a leap of faith leaving behind her career to heal her life. What a wondrous path unfolded before her. She is a 2009 Boston Marathon finisher and has had many adventures as a most unlikely runner. Mary is an inspirational author, motivational speaker, blogger, poet and the author of 7 books that chronicle how she survived and thrived in the wake of childhood paralytic polio and trauma.

Solo episode welcoming in the new year. I started out talking about easing into the year, moved into fascia work and ended up ranting about feminism... what a tangent that was...
