Today we'll be talking about our voice. What does it mean to find your voice? How do I find my voice as a parent? If you were to use your voice authentically, respectfully, and effectively to communicate your feelings, what would it sound like? How can I teach my children to find their voice? And in communicating with our kids, understanding what we want to say and why we feel compelled to say it is going to make a huge impact on how we say things.

We’ll kick off our show with The Raise a Glass Series, get on to our questions to explore, and end with A Short Story Before We Go. MFA is the sometimes-musical, dramedy, in 3 acts, 1 intermission, the length of a sitcom designed to give mama’s (and any caregiver) a break in the day to breathe and reset along with a much needed audio hug.

Quote: “What a liberation to realize that the voice in my head is not who I am. Who am I? The one who sees that.” Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

Act I: The Raise a Glass Series - a space for reflection and gratitude centered around the topic of the day and inspired by lyrics from Hamilton the Musical.

Today’s lyrics – “I know I talked too much I'm abrasive, your incredible court, your succinct, persuasive.”
