In this midweek podcast episode, the host addresses her audience of "movers" with a brief, live embodiment exercise designed to shift listeners from mental overload to physical presence. She guides them through standing, stretching, grounding, and moving to boost energy, confidence, and the habit of taking up space—key traits for effective speakers. The monologue emphasizes that embodying the body helps speakers find their voice and make a larger impact. The host also announces a forthcoming Movers Live session focused on a crucial persuasion question for speakers, and a December training on planning a speaking business for 2021, inviting listeners to engage, request more dance parties, and watch daily one‑minute videos to stay in the right headspace.
Chapters
Well, hello movers! It's your midweek dance party. Now I don't know about you, but my kids are right out there. I just asked my husband to step out of our office so that I could have this space to myself for just a moment and start to move because it's midweek. The brain is weighing me down this week. It's too much, too much. We gotta get in our body. Squeakers! That's what we've got to do. We've got to take it from just we say words to we live them. So wherever you are right now, I really want you to stand up. Stand up. I don't care what everybody else sees or what they think. I want you to stand up and move with me for a second. Oh, and stretch, stretch it out, because part of getting in our body is not just upping the energy, it's grounding ourselves. So find your legs, find your legs, feel the ground beneath you and just bounce a little bit. Feel the energy coming up through the earth, it's filling you up. I want you to take up a little bit more space, my movers. You are a big deal. You are. And for us to really live that, we've got to just take up more space and live out loud. And who cares what everybody else is saying? We just gotta fill up the room. Yes! Now, I don't know if you need this right now, but I am needing it right now. Okay, I want you to just feel the back of your neck for a second, and then bring your hands down along the sides of your neck like this. Gently, very gently, roll your neck around like that. Excellent. We're not going to go through the whole thing again, but A little pick up the energy, feel the rump, and then remember that you get your energy from the ground up and out. The energy comes from the earth. It comes from underneath our legs. It is not just here and out. It's from down here and out. And I don't know about you, but ooh, I've been in my head. I've been in my headspace for too long. And I needed to re-find my body. And I hope you have had a chance to re-find your body just a little bit. Yay! I'm gonna turn down our sound effects just a little bit. And happy midweek dance party to you, my movers. If this was fun for you, if you want to do this again, let me know. I like doing them. They are something I look forward to and I need. And for us as speakers, we've got to get really used to stepping into the discomfort and doing things that everybody else is like, what are they doing? Why are they talking to themselves? Why are they practicing? Who are they talking to right now? Why are they having a dance party? Because this is how we find our voice. This is how we find our feet. And this is how we make our mark and step into a bigger version of ourselves. I had to tell one of my speakers this week that she is a big deal, and we have to remember that. You're a big deal. We're a big deal. This is a big deal, so dance like it. Yes. Yeah. Woo-hoo. It doesn't mean dancing well, as you can tell. That is not the point. All right, my movers. I am on my way out. I hope this is fun for you. I will see you for sure on Thursday. Is that tomorrow? At noon, we are doing a really quick Movers Live all about the really important question we have to ask ourselves that too many of us are not asking ourselves. I just had this conversation with my husband this morning as he was prepping for a presentation. That he just got finished with. And it's a question that is central to persuading people. So I will talk more about that tomorrow. Hope you're enjoying the B series. Let me know where you're at. Answer that question every day and be sure you watch the quick 1-minute video every morning just to help get us in the right headspace as we are shifting into 2021. And quick announcement, in December at some point, date to be determined, we're going to be doing a really quick training all about planning for your speaking business in 2021. So if right now you're like, I would love a little more revenue. I would love to utilize speaking as a part of my revenue in 2021. Well, we're going to talk about what that looks like. So more info on that, but be on the lookout. That'll be sometime early December so that we can include it in our planning as we look at 2021. Okay, that's it for me. Bye everybody, have an awesome rest of the day, and yeah, I will see you tomorrow on Movers Life. Bye-bye!
