Here’s a gem from October 2024 talking with our friend, Amber Mogg Cathey of Evolve Vocal Studio, about how we can motivate ourselves with kindness.It’s our first episode of Season 4! This week on Honestly, Dear Listener, we welcome vocalist, voice coach, friend, and frequent contributor to the show Amber Mogg Cathey back to the podcast. We discuss our strategies for how to positively motivate ourselves instead of what comes naturally to us: kicking our own butts into submission. We talk about positive versus negative motivations and how effective each is at motivating us. We also discuss what it’s like being the kid who stuck out and how we felt like, in order to escape the scrutiny of others, we took our own selves down a peg or two which only ended up hurting our self-esteem.Where to Find Amber:Website: evolvevocalstudio.comInstagram: @EvolveVocalStudioYouTube:  @EvolveVocalStudio  Facebook: @EvolveVocalStudioTikTok: @EvolveVocalStudioListen to our past episode with Amber HERE!We’re diving into our vault and pulling out episodes we want to make sure you don’t miss!
