Bonus Ep w/ Bente and Michael
<p>We spent the season Reading The Room, but the real work began when we finally had the courage to look in the mirror. In this Season One bonus episode, Bente and I are dropping the "expert" mask to get raw about the parts of this journey we didn’t see coming—like the subtle pressure to perform for the mic and the trap of sprinting toward forgiveness before the heart has even had a chance to catch its breath. I’ve learned that while it’s a gift to sense the energy of a room, the ultimate mastery is found in the unvarnished honesty we offer ourselves when no one else is watching. We’re diving into the simple, quiet ritual that has completely shifted how we show up for our own lives: the power of the whisper. It’s about lowering the shield, quieting the noise, and building a true internal alliance one breath at a time. We’re taking a little time off so we"ll leave you this question: When was the last time you were truly honest with the person in the reflection—not the teacher, not the coach, but the soul beneath it all? </p><p><br /></p><p>The IG post I'm referring to on the podcast is <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@ShayYourLoveDiva" target="_blank">@ShayYourLoveDiva</a> . The post is from March 14, 2026. Thank you for a beautiful first season! We'll see you soon.</p>

<p>In this episode of Reading the Room, Michael and Bente sit down with singer, songwriter, and musician Elise Burchard.</p><p></p><p>In her early twenties, Elise was struck in the throat by a hockey puck during a charity tournament — an accident that damaged her vocal cords and silenced her overnight. What followed was a years-long journey to reclaim not just her voice, but her truth. She's now turning that story into <i>What the Puck</i>, a one-woman musical.</p><p></p><p>In this episode, we discuss:</p><ul><li><b>The Impact:</b> What it feels like to lose your voice in an instant — and what it forces you to face.</li><li><b>The Fifth Grade Silence:</b> Why so many of us stopped raising our hands long before any puck ever hit us.</li><li><b>The Recovery:</b> From blowing bubbles into a water cup to performing at Chicago's House of Blues and New York's Sid Gold's Request Room.</li><li><b>The Show:</b> How Elise is writing her way back onto the stage — and inviting the audience to sing with her.</li></ul><p></p><p>Settle in, find your frequency, and leave with permission.</p>
