Expect actionable advice about public speaking, confidence, nerves, in-office communication, etc, as well as deeper discussions on what power looks (and sounds!) like, how to let go of perfectionism and use fear to your advantage, and how to show up as your authentic self in a world full of unconscious bias.

Whether you are giving a speech, leading a sales appointment or a brand new team, pitching your big idea for funding, or just finding the courage to make your voice heard, co-founders Julie Fogh and Casey Erin Clark’s extensive backgrounds in speech coaching and professional acting give them a unique perspective on what makes people want to listen. For the client, the result is your voice: amplified (not just louder).

GUT with Christy Harrison

Dec 4, 2019

Julie and Casey sit down with prolific podcaster and Anti-Diet revolutionary Christy Harrison of Food Psych to talk about the racist and sexist roots of diet culture, the Health at Every Size movement, and why "trusting your gut" requires . . . well, trusting your gut.

TOP TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

  • Your voice and your ideas have value - if you know you have something to offer, don't let a lack of confidence (or vocal fatigue) hold you back from getting your voice out there.
  • Weight loss as a health intervention wasn't a thing until the thin ideal was demands and deified by other sources.
  • Anyone outside Audre Lord's "mythic norm" will be extra affected by diet culture - and diet culture is a potent political sedative, because we don't have the time, energy, or brain space to think about or act on more important things.
  • Progressives in particular have work to do around fat phobia.  We tend to be more conscious of other issues of diversity and inclusion but still default to jokes about bodies.  We gotta work on this.
  • Struggle with seeing pictures of yourself? Fill your social feed with diverse bodies!
  • Your gut has actual wisdom - indeed, science thinks that our "gut" is actually a second brain.  But we can't listen to it when we aren't truly IN our bodies - and we can't be IN our bodies while diet culture has its claws in us.
  • Power is the power to uplift, to include, to make changes that benefit everyone.
