IT IS HEATHER'S FAVORITE HOLIDAY! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, LOVERS! 

Muahahaha! Today's episode explores the reasons why Heather loves Halloween so much - her Halloween origin story so to speak - and then dives a little deeper into why she enjoys dressing up so much. 

Segway into her fitness journey and how she discovered She Hulk and PiYo at the same time and how dressing up ---- or her discovery of "cosplay" ---  has become more about empowerment than about putting walls up and hiding who you are. 

Here's the thing, you are enough as you are. It shouldn't take a costume or a mask to make you feel like you are worth something. But if putting that costume on gives you confidence you never had before, by all means, DO IT! Because little by little that confidence will stay with you. You are a rockstar.

“You should always say, ‘I’m worth more.’” - Ethan P. 

 This is a piece of advice from Ethan that I think we should all take to heart. 

He's a coach. He's an actor. He's a director. When Ethan says "Know Your Value," he isn't kidding. He preaches this to his clients, his friends, and most importantly: himself. Learning this at a young age sparked a confidence in Ethan that he carries out every day. Because of this confidence, combined with his natural curiosity, Ethan developed a business mindset that helped him launch his acting career and keep it fueled for over 14 years. This also lead to a successful coaching and directing career. 

However, because Ethan is a human, he's not *always* confident. There have been times in his life and career where he hasn't felt 'in control' of his body. 

“It really is that little difference - a pound or two here and there can make my pants feel different and that makes me not want to go into an audition room. At all. Or it makes me not want to stand up in front of a room full of actors and direct them because I don’t feel like I have any control over myself, how am I gonna have control over them?”

But once he gets back to his routine and starts feeling like himself again, he's able to feel in control again and do what he truly loves: give himself to others in his own controlled and confident way.

“If you’re aware of your body and you’re aware of how it functions - which I have illustrated I at least try and attempt to do that every day - if you are focusing on how you feel and not how you look, I think that one of those will be your ‘head’ and the rest will follow.” - Frank Hartley 

This week's guest Frank was also a panelist on the Out of the Box Theatrics discussion! He is a jack of all trades and has a lot on his plate so we talk a lot about how he keeps himself SANE while still maintaining his health, jobs, and whatever else life throws at him. 

This is an episode about mental health, being self-aware, and knowing your baseline for whatever it is you are going through or trying to start. We cover so much from grief and loss to meditation and planning. We don't even get to Out of the Box until the very end!

This week's guest, Liz Flemming, is not afraid to let go of something if it is no longer serving her. Not to say that letting go is easy. She was severely bullied in school as a young girl so she left and was homeschooled. She became an actress and theater became a huge release for how she was treated as a child. Acting served her for a while but once she lost her joy there, she re-evaluated herself and wasn't afraid to take a big leap of faith in herself by starting her own theatre company. A company that focuses on inclusiveness, diversity, and making theatre more handicap accessible. 

Her journey is one of resilience filled with ups and downs. Being bullied caused her to emotionally turn to food. Then she became a diet-er and used her need for control to become underweight. She hit rock bottom and decided to focus on health above all else. One thing we talk about a lot is how women are always complimented on looking "thin." What is so great about being thin? Why are women automatically congratulated for "thin-ness?" 

We talk about all of this and so much more. Thank you to Liz for being so open about your experiences!

"I've seen people who have these insane gifts but for one reason or another choose not to cultivate them ... and even though it's not my dream, it's really disheartening to see. It's like, 'oh you could have made the most out of this and you've chosen not to.'" - Carrie Greenberg. 

Today's guest, Carrie, is here to tell you that YOU DO have potential. It's there deep inside, even if you can't see it. She's been there - going through the motions, complying with everyone around her just because she wanted to be liked, she didn't want people to have a reason to be mean to her. She struggled with confidence and believing that she had something valuable to offer. Over time, her mental and physical health journey has lead her to a whole new place. She's found that confidence and wants nothing more than others to see that THEY are worth it, too! 

Carrie is small but mighty. She was sent to a nutritionist at the age of 10. She was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure in her early twenties. Her health has been filled with ups and downs. Yet here she is to tell us her story of finding a healthy balance and - here's the KICKER - SHE'S ONE YEAR HBP MEDICATION FREE! That's right, it's Carrie's ONE YEAR anniversary off High Blood Pressure medication!!! How did she get there? Listen today to find out!!
