See you at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET for a YouTube training with me 🙌 We'll talk about how to come with powerful video ideas that get thousands of views. And if you can't make it live, don't worry. You'll be able to watch the recording. See you later!

This is only tangentily related to the imposter syndrome conversation. After yesterday's call I kept wanting to encourage everyone to just start recording and playing with the platforms. Even if the name, art, music, etc are still in progress. That way when you're for real for real recording you already know the buttons to push and have gotten over some of the tech stress. Plus you have the speaking practice and you get used to your own voice and face. It took me some hours of editing my stuff before I got okay with hearing my voice and many more hours for the video. The video still bothers me a bit and gets me stuck on doing more recording but doing more of it gets me closer to okay with that. Go head in to descript (or riverside) and play. Maybe invite a friend on to get the hang of how interviewing works. Then mess with the editing and the AI stuff. Push all the buttons! That'll at least help with the tech hangups. And you can stick with the free trial until you're ready for the real deal, so no reason to not start now. I think it's also good to practice the intro/outro and reading other copy, to make sure it sounds good out loud and you don't trip up on the words. I've found a lot of copy I end up stumbling and so I can tell it's not in my voice. Or that I'm not super excited about it. But I had to record it to figure that out, and then to play it back to see that it wasn't as awful as I thought. (Although some of it was still pretty awful.) So at this point I've recorded dozens of solo hours of me doing and saying stuff, and a lot of it I won't use. So I think it's helpful to start doing that sooner. When I first tried out riverside, I recorded a test run where I read through all of the settings and pushed the buttons, and it made a "magic clip" out of that, which it named "David laughs through confusing tech setup." I'm sharing that here for your amusement. 😂

Here is the microphone we discussed on the group call today

Hello All, Would love your feedback please on our podcast description Advanced Access: Catalysts for Community Healthcare Access and Prosperity If you’re tired of watching your community struggle to access basic healthcare—and just as tired of experiencing the negative impacts this has on your community’s economy —this podcast is for you. Whether you’re a municipal leader fielding daily complaints, a healthcare provider stretched beyond your limits, a policymaker seeking clarity, a community advocate fighting for solutions, or a resident who still can’t find a family doctor… you’re not alone, and you’re not imagining the crisis. Advanced Access: Catalysts for Community Healthcare Access and Prosperity is where truth meets action. Hosted by the Community Healthcare Systems team: Valerie Nicol, Dave Saunders, and Mark Holland, the show reveals what actually drives the healthcare shortages impacting communities across Canada—and more importantly, what local leaders and residents can do about it. No jargon. No blame. No false promises. Just clear, grounded, community-powered solutions that work. You’ll hear real stories from communities overcoming the very challenges you’re facing, insights from experts who’ve stopped waiting for systemic rescue, and practical strategies you can bring back to your own town or region. Each episode helps you understand why access has collapsed, how to build the local conditions providers need to stay, and what steps you can take to create a healthier, more prosperous community—starting right now. If you’re looking for a place where your frustration is understood, your leadership is strengthened, and your ideas can become action, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Advanced Access—where communities reclaim control of their healthcare future.

Hello loves! I've had my podcast Awakening: The Podcast running for 7 years. Perhaps it's time for a rebrand? Especially since Justin & Celine advise NOT including podcast in the title? I'd love your feedback on an upgraded podcast name for a possible rebrand. Here are some new options: Goddess Awakening The Higher Self Goddess The Goddess Frequency Awakening the Goddess Background/intro to give you more details on my podcast: Welcome to Awakening: The Podcast, the show that helps you be your Higher Self, aka your Goddess Self, during this wild & crazy time on Earth. I'm Dr. Heather Kristian Strang (but you can call me Kristian), a metaphysical psychologist & bestselling author. In 2008, a "health crisis" turned into almost dying which turned into a spiritual awakening that forever changed my life & gave me healing & psychic gifts that I previously did not have. Since that time, I've supported thousands of women and their families in living in radiant out-of-the-matrix health, overflowing wealth & love. Thank you so much! @Justin Moore @Celine Moore @Dawn Petrin
