From Safety to Singing | Elise Besler

Want to free your voice? Want to live with more ease? Start by “befriending your body” says Elise Besler. This is a truly radical way of being in a culture that prioritizes thinking over being, but Elise is an expert at guiding folks into this experience through nervous system regulation.

In this episode of the Free Your Voice, Free Your Life podcast, Davin goes deep with his friend and colleague, Elise Besler who is a voice and embodied leadership coach. As a singer and performer herself, Elise knows first hand what it is to overcome the impacts of trauma and conditioning of experience to actually be able to stand up and grab the mic. Now she coaches leaders to do the same using the wisdom of the body as her guide.

In this conversation, Elise shares a bit about her own journey as a singer, performer and coach and she breaks down specific exercises that she now uses with clients so that they can understand the inherent wisdom of their body and the nature of their nervous system response in the face of perceived threat (hello, performance!) There are so many practical gems and reframes in this conversation, you might need to listen a couple of times to soak it all in.
