Julie Fogh and Casey Erin Clark, co-founders of Vital Voice Training, are excited to share "Voice (is)" - a podcast where they have conversations with people whose voices they love to dive into the good, the bad, and the messy of what makes your voice YOURS.

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.

Vital Voice Training is a voice, public speaking, and communication coaching company founded to help clients communicate with savvy, charisma, and confidence. 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).

Julie and Casey sit down with Georgia Lee Hussey - artist turned financial planner and founder of Modernist Financial - to talk about another taboo subject: money.  We learn about "money stories", "punk damage", whether it's possible to reconcile progressive values with financial success, and figuring out what you REALLY want.

TOP TAKEAWAYS:

  • Your money stories are the inherited and unconscious beliefs you have around money, and they are always pulling the strings in the background. Excavate and examine to make more empowered decisions.
  • "Punk damage" = the idea that all wealth and success is inherently bad. Spoiler: it ends up upholding traditional power structures.
  • The questions to ask are “how can I make decisions in line with my values within the structure that I exist in, and how can I work to change those structures."
  • It's time to update the money story of the "American Dream".
  • We can use down times to nurture our anxiety or to nurture our future. Investing in yourself and in your future is an empowering choice, even now.
  • Maybe you don’t need a vacation HOUSE.  Maybe you need a VACATION.
  • One of most radical things we can do as creatives and entrepreneurs is build ourselves into our own budget.
