The Passion Project with Hallee Smith

Back in September I decided I wanted to overcome my fear of performing in front of audiences and learn to think quicker on my feet. So, I signed up for an intro to improv class at Spitfire Comedy House in St. Petersburg, FL. I documented the entire process for a YouTube video, so I originally filmed this conversation for that video; however, this full conversation was too good not to share. Join me today in my discussion with my Improv instructor & Improv performer, Carolyn Ramsey as we discuss how Improv can change your life and help you to build relationships, improve communication skills, cope with stress & anxiety, & so much more.

I originally filmed this conversation for my 30-day Jiu Jitsu Challenge video, but the full conversation was too good not to share.

So yeah... I dropped off the face of the earth with posting episodes. Things got a little chaotic in my life this summer, between weddings, work trips, & a horror story of a first-time homeownership. I appreciate every single one of you who tune in weekly, or even just listen here & there! I hope this podcast has inspired you to get out of your comfort zone, follow your passions, and go on a journey of GROWTH. Thank you for being here.

Let's just face it: social media can be SERIOUSLY toxic. At the same time, it can be an incredibly powerful tool to connect, make friends, start a business, and follow your passion project. So let's talk about it: the pro's the con's and the ways to make it sustainable for you and your mental health :) If you're enjoying these episodes, send me an email or leave a review & let me know what topics you want to hear me speak on :) Email me! ➡️ podcast@halleesmith.com Shop the merch ➡️ https://www.hallee.shop/ Join the free email newsletter ➡️ https://view.flodesk.com/pages/61b7b91bdf87be04c2387523

Today I wanted to talk about something that has helped me show up consistently and reach my goals, even when I'm feeling down: Radical Confidence. This term was coined my Lisa Bilyeu in her book called Radical Confidence, and when I read the book I realized that it was the perfect term for something I was already doing. So let's talk about how it helps me (even today) and how you could apply it to your life!

With TikTok and short-form video, it often feels like we have no choice but to follow trends. It can be SO overwhelming. There's this intense pressure to stay cool, relevant, and "on-trend." But what about being innovative? What about standing out? What about being truly creative? I think it's easy to get lost in trying to go viral, so I wanted to talk about it. The pro's, the con's, and what I think you should do instead. What do you think? Do you like following trends or do you stray away? Send me an email or leave a comment on our IG page :) Email me! ➡️ podcast@halleesmith.com Shop the merch ➡️ https://www.hallee.shop/ Join the free email newsletter ➡️ https://view.flodesk.com/pages/61b7b91bdf87be04c2387523

Today's episode was inspired by advice from a TikTok I recently watched where Professor Scott Galloway says he believes that following your passions is the worst advice someone can give you. I disagree, and today I wanted to talk about WHY. If you liked this episode, let me know what other advice/videos I should react to!

I've been creating content for almost 3 years now and there’s been a lot of different era’s so I wanted to talk about them as we enter a new era.
