Step Into 2026 Intentionally by Creating a Vision Board (for Adults & Kids), with Host Julie Berman (Shorties ep.)

Singing Facilitator, Fiona Maria, uses singing circles to help people reconnect with their voice... even when they&apos;re convinced they can&apos;t sing.  Fiona leads singing circles that help people release previous voice shame, calm their nervous system, and experience the joy and belonging that come from singing with others. She teaches the songs by ear, so no musical background is needed. There&apos;s no sheet music. She never mentions soprano, alto, intervals, chords. For many, it&apos;s an unexpected tool that helps them feel more empowered when using their voice, both for singing and in other ways.    This episode explores:<ul><li>Why singing is one of the oldest tools for healing and connection</li><li>The myth of tone-deafness and how most people can sing more accurately than they think  </li><li>How singing activates 10 areas of the brain</li><li>The power of harmonizing with people you’ve just met and why it brings diverse people together</li></ul> Fiona has been singing &amp; performing professionally for over 20 years. She was part of a vocal/instrumental Latin duo, Caramba, for many years before she started holding singing Circles and workshops in workplace and community contexts.  Contact Info: Fiona Maria - Guest <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-maria-09b882300/'>Fiona Maria</a> (LinkedIn)<a href='https://www.instagram.com/singhighsinglow/'>Sing High, Sing Low</a> (Instagram)<a href='https://www.singhighsinglow.com.au/'>Sing High, Sing Low</a> (website) Julie Berman - Host <a href='https://womenwithcooljobs.com/'>www.womenwithcooljobs.com</a> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/culturebeerandcheese/?hl=en'>@womencooljobs</a> (Instagram) <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/julieberman/'>Julie Berman</a> (LinkedIn)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1195658/open_sms">Send Julie a text!!</a>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of &quot;Women with Cool Jobs&quot;, where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.

Singing Facilitator Helps You Befriend Your Voice Through Singing Circles, with Fiona Maria

What if curiosity isn’t just a personality trait? In fact, it could be the compass that points us toward who we’re meant to become. In this special 5-year, podversary episode of &quot;Women With Cool Jobs,&quot; my amazing friend and award-winning musician and filmmaker, Jillian Speece, joins me for a  deeply personal conversation about how this podcast came to life...and how curiosity has acted as an unexpected guide along the way. Inside this celebratory episode, Julie and Jillian explore:<ul><li> How curiosity undeniably ties every woman featured on the show together  —  from smokejumper and cheesemonger to 3-D printing scientist, lipstick artist, general contractor, and butter maker</li><li> The argument for “doing it scared,” and why some of the most important leaps in life feel the most terrifying</li><li> Visibility, vulnerability, and courage to let go of being liked and allowing yourself to be seen </li><li> Why curiosity makes us better humans and why we don&apos;t have to all agree to navigate differences with grace, compassion, and genuine interest</li></ul> What began as a spark of curiosity and a leap into the unknown turned into 5 years of celebrating remarkable women doing the work that lights them up.  Thank you to all the incredible, inspiring women who have been guests during these past 5 years. I am so, so grateful!

 A Powerful (and Free!) Tool to Find Your Next Cool Job: Informational Interviews, with Host Julie Berman

I went to a great women’s event and was fine talking to everyone EXCEPT for one woman, who was intimidating to me because she did such cool things. She was empowering women by helping share their stories. When I got home, I reflected on why I felt so awkward and why the conversation didn’t flow as easily as with the other cool ladies I chatted with previously (whom I also admired.)  I came up with The Power of “Too” Thinking to help me and you flip feelings of being intimidated or feeling like an imposter when you’re in spaces and places with super cool, impressive people you admire!  Rephrasing the sentence into a positive, affirming statement PLUS adding “too” allows you to create a bridge for your brain to see how it’s possible for you as well.  I’m cool, too.I can figure it out, too.  I can be that, too.I can do that, too. Once we realize that what we see and admire in others is often a reflection of the characteristics and traits we have ourselves, we can use this tool to create more possibilities in our own life and be kinder to ourselves. [Note. Please excuse the low-quality audio in this episode. It was not my intention. I was editing it while still sick, pushed an incorrect button, and voila...it is not my normal goal and I realized upon upload. I do love this content and concept and have chosen to keep it for that reason until I can re-record.

It all means so much. &lt;3

<description>&lt;p&gt;I went to a great women’s event and was fine talking to everyone EXCEPT for one woman, who was intimidating to me because she did such cool things. She was empowering women by helping share their stories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I got home, I reflected on why I felt so awkward and why the conversation didn’t flow as easily as with the other cool ladies I chatted with previously (whom I also admired.) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I came up with The Power of “Too” Thinking to help me and you flip feelings of being intimidated or feeling like an imposter when you’re in spaces and places with super cool, impressive people you admire! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rephrasing the sentence into a positive, affirming statement PLUS adding “too” allows you to create a bridge for your brain to see how it’s possible for you as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m cool, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can figure it out, too.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can be that, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can do that, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once we realize that what we see and admire in others is often a reflection of the characteristics and traits we have ourselves, we can use this tool to create more possibilities in our own life and be kinder to ourselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Note. Please excuse the low-quality audio in this episode. It was not my intention. I was editing it while still sick, pushed an incorrect button, and voila...it is not my normal goal and I realized upon upload. I do love this content and concept and have chosen to keep it for that reason until I can re-record.
