21. Finding Your Voice

Hello and welcome to the wander mom diaries podcast! I’m your host Mandie and during season 2, we have the theme of self-care, overcoming adversities, and women empowerment, this episode dives into all three! I would like to give a preliminary warning that suicide is talked about during this conversation which can be triggering. With the pandemic, suicide and depression statistics have increased, so I have added suicide prevention resources in the show notes for your reference. During this conversation, you’ll hear Dr. Marisa Naismith’s incredible story of overcoming one challenge after another and hear empowering messages about self-care and finding your voice. Marisa grew up in Australia and has been in the music industry as a singer from her early teens and is now a singing coach and music industry mentor. Marisa also fosters singing communities around the world so my original intent was to discuss that, but as she kept sharing her story, I ended up scrapping the questions I originally planned and just went with the flow of the conversation and I think the result is truly impactful. I hope you enjoy this moving conversation with Marisa!
