Welcome to the 39th episode of the Give A Heck Podcast!
Join Dwight Heck and his guest, Elissa Weinzimmer, to discuss how she lost her voice at a young age and the healing process she underwent that rekindled her vocal skills and a new purpose. As someone vigorous and creative before as a student, Elissa admitted to getting obsessed with not working at one point in her life. Unfortunately, because of overworking, Elissa developed a case of mononucleosis that eventually led to her losing her voice.
In this episode, Elissa and Dwight discuss yoga and meditation, body and mind connection, the effects of hustle culture, and more.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Growing up with a love for singing and experiencing vocal hemorrhage at 21
- Hustle culture normalizes ignorance toward the outcries of well-being
- Yoga and Meditation: Tackling the stimuli of discomfort and anxiety
- How to be more present?
- The associations and connections you make, matter more than you think
- And much more!
