In this episode, Dr. Leah and Taraleigh talk with musician and singer/songwriter Liz Bills about her evocative ways of delivering healing and transformation through music and collaborative performance. Liz shares her own journey with mental health, chronic pain, and sobriety, and how her music has evolved to facilitate more healing experiences along the way. Liz describes how she sees herself as a “nervous system tuner” as a musician and how she focuses on creating co-regulation through live music. In the “Did you Know” Dr. Leah explains what nervous system regulation means and how it can be done through co-regulation with another person or through self-regulation on one’s own. Taraleigh gives listeners a couple of techniques to use for self-regulation in the “Daily Jam.” 

Liz Bills is known for her entrancing high energy performances and emotionally charged power vocals, passionate and honest in her songwriting and stage presence; Liz is unapologetically brave yet incredibly vulnerable and real. Taking you on a wild ride that is intoxicatingly sweet and dangerously ferocious.

Liz’s highlights include the 2020 and 2021 Boston Music Award’s ‘Singer/songwriter of The Year’ nomination, winning ‘Pop Act of The Year’ in 2021, ‘Roots Act of The Year’ in 2019 and ‘Rock Act of the Year’ in 2018 for the New England Music Awards, opening for Bon Jovi at Mohegan Sun in 2017, runner-up in the 2016 Aloft Rising Star with Daughtry, and a semi-finals appearance in the WZLX’s 2016 Rock Rumble. Liz was a top 30 female finisher in the 2013 American Idol competition, and has been compared to singers such as Grace Potter, Janis Joplin, Florence and the Machine and Susan Tedeschi. https://www.lizbills.com/

Melinda shares her journey from recording artist living the rockstar life in New York City to transformative sound healer vibing out in nature in Vermont.

In this episode, Dr. Leah and Taraleigh talk with Annabel Lukins from Cloud 9 Adventures about spirituality in daily life, sensuality in live music, and facing your fears. Annabel shares her current quest of finding a healthy balance of live music for optimal wellbeing, including letting go of FOMO and leaning into JOMO (the joy of missing out). For the "Daily Jam" Dr. Leah expands on why working with your thoughts to move through fear can be so powerful. Taraleigh breaks it down into easy manageable steps for the “Daily Jam.” 

Standing tall at a massive 5-feet, this little wonder's infectious enthusiasm charms artists and fans alike. Annabel has been with Cloud 9 Adventures, producers of international live music events, since 2003 and can be found welcoming guests during a toast on stage, dancing through the crowd, and flying like a hummingbird behind the scenes making things happen. When she’s not galivanting around the Caribbean on Jam Cruise, Panic en la Playa and other destination concert events or working at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, she’s trail running or hiking with her golden retriever, skiing at Mary Jane and Eldora trying to get her 10-year old daughter and husband (who snowboards, let’s not judge him) to keep up with her, or seeing as much live music as possible. Annabel makes the best of this short time on earth and is beyond grateful for such a beautiful life.

In this episode, Dr. Leah and Taraleigh talk with financial coach Berkeley Ramsbottom about how to be financially responsible while seeing as much live music as possible. Berkeley shares how her approach differs from other financial experts, who are going to tell you to forgo concerts because they’re frivolous. As if! She lets listeners in on the tool that can change everything and guides you through an exercise to learn more about your spending patterns, or as she calls them, money grooves. Listeners will learn small steps to move forward in becoming financially savvy and a mindset shift that will change the way you relate to money. For the “Daily Jam” Taraleigh encourages listeners to take on Berkeley’s money mindset to improve their financial health. Dr. Leah follows that up with information on why changing your mindset can improve other areas of your life for the “Did you Know.”

Berkeley is the founder of Money Grooves, a financial literacy & coaching business. During her $20,000 debt payoff journey, Berkeley saw how learning about money transformed her life, but also how the personal finance space was fraught with judgment, misinformation, and overwhelm. She has dedicated her life to teaching others in our community how to crush debt, build wealth, and feel confident about money in a way that's relatable and fun. Her mission is to prove that you can build massive wealth while still hitting all the shows. Follow her on Instagram @moneygrooves.
