In todayʻs episode Sarah is talking to Stephanie Kong.

Stephanie is a former vocalist who performed in theatre before shifting her gift from entertaining others to helping others. You might recognize her performance work on Hawaii Public Radio and with the Hawaii Shakespeare Festival.

As a Mindful Voice coach she helps clients “Sing with confidence.” “Speak with purpose.” and “Think and write with clarity” using the power of their own voice. 

She is also an educator of yoga who specializes in Sanskrit mantra, nāda yoga (the yoga of sound) and fascia-focused yogāsana sequencing. She teaches privately and publicly in Honolulu and all over the world through classes, teacher trainings, workshops.

Today Stephanie and Sarah discuss voice and vulnerability and how the two build confidence and make you a better communicator. 

They also talk about…

• How she became so comfortable with her voice from a young age.
• Why she eventually had to have surgery to get it back.
• The theory behind Nada Yoga.
• The ways using your voice can sometimes be depleting. 
• What she does with her clients during Mindful Voice sessions. 
• 
  

Stephanie even gets Sarah to sing on the show. Yup. Sheʻs hiding her face in her hands as you read this.
