The Madelyn Moon Show (Previously Mind Body Musings)

Episode 303: Best known for his portrayal of Walter "Flynn" White for five riveting seasons of AMC'S Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award winning dramatic thriller "Breaking Bad," RJ Mitte is an actor, advocate and philanthropist who has carved out his niche in Hollywood by breaking down stereotypes and changing people's mindsets with his easy going demeanor and positive outlook on life while coping with cerebral palsy. He will be seen next starring alongside Terrence Howard as a high school wrestler overcoming all odds to be seen as "normal," in TRIUMPH; premiering in mid 2020. Show notes: Allowing space for change arriving as a result of the coronavirus COVID-19 crisis. We can now make an impact in a small area, that affects a large group of people, in a way we haven't been able to before. RJ moved to Texas to focus on his foundation - www.mittefoundation.org/ Sign up for background acting if you're trying to break into the industry. RJ's pre-Breaking Bad background/extra work included appearances on Hannah Montana, Weeds, 7th Heaven. Acting as creating entities or alter egos as a form of therapy. Recently completed Inclusion Films' Carol of the Bells with Inclusion Films - inclusionfilms.com/carol-of-the-bells/ 70% disabled cast and crew, goal to be a platform for encouraging hiring of people with disabilities. "Our job as actors is not to be us; it's to be a completely different person that we create for that world." People with the right skill-sets don't always get the jobs, while people without the skill-sets might get the jobs for various reasons. On combating discrimination: thinking in terms of tearing down walls, but using walls as leverage. Find where you belong and where you want to be. "Right now there's a lot of people at home that don't want to be at home, but they don't know where they want to be. They know they want to be somewhere, but they don't know where. They don't know how they're going to get there, but they know when this is done, they're going to go do that." Using this time to hone who you are and hone what you want to do. "Find the target you want to hit now - when everyone is so wound up, everyone's going to fly. Just make sure you're pointing in the right direction." What exactly are we in a rush to "get back" to? Creating healthy habits - isolation is a struggle. Right now people aren't doing things that have been keeping them sane. Cooking, swimming, video games, working - but maintaining positive settings - are some of RJ's healthy habits. Everyone is born a leader - but you're taught to not follow internal instincts.

Episode 301: In this episode, Madelyn talks about an amazing book, The Missing Element, that she just received from a previous podcast guest, Astrologer - Debra Silverman. This book discusses the four elements — air, earth, water, and fire and how they affect your inner world. Many of us are on a quest to learn more about ourselves and others, and perhaps now more than ever — when we're deep into the Coronavirus quarantine, it's a great time to go within and learn more about how you function as an individual. The Missing Element was written for all of us who have ever felt that something was “wrong” with us, that we are odd and outside the norm. This book helps you to see beyond your perceived flaws to find your 'true' self, your gifts and your place in this world. You don't have to have an extensive Astrology background to understand these profound teachings. This is a fun playground to explore so you can learn more about yourself and others. Show notes: Madelyn's Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-w4gLHHkYF/ How can you nurture yourself while you don’t have your current “medicine”? Do you need more nurturing or discipline?

Emotional, very intuitive, more empath, love the spiritual side of life, want to numb out because your feelings are so strong, personal space is very important, great healer, overly guarded sometimes, very important to get to know your moods/periods/moon cycles, take showers/baths. Fire: can be very destructive, very transformative energy, the life of the party, likes to figure it out as they go along - not a lot of structure, judged a lot, helpful to find forms of movement that create heat in your body, impulsive, it’s okay to slow down, they love to love and to be adored, learn how to listen if you’re a fire sign, very competitive, impatient, enjoys traveling. Earth: loves stability, rituals are very important, safety/security is a top priority, have a hard time investing in themselves, great with their hands - get the job done, plant the metaphorical seed, dependable, they can sometimes lack fire/spontaneity, never give themselves a pat on the back.  Air: more inclined to see us all as one, they love information and learning, very curious, auditory, co-dependent, flirtatious, must be balanced with earth, they talk super fast, do more earth grounding work, work on your voice, stimulating conversations, not great listeners - cut people off.  Embodying the elements Qigong practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Y8QSVyYhM The Quarantine Cocoon - a stay-at-home resource guide: maddymoon.com/cocoon Connect with Maddy:  Facebook: https://facebook.com/moonfitness/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/ Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes: http://maddymoon.com/itunes Download my Four Favourite Feminine Embodiment Practices: https://maddymoon.com/freegift Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Episode 299: Joe Towne is an award-winning writer and director who got his degree in Acting from the University of Southern California. He’s been a coach for the past 19 years for both businesses and performers – some of whom are selling that product you just bought or starring in that movie you Netflixed last night. This work compelled him to write a book about how our inner reality affects our outer experience, which led him to be a guest on the Dr. Oz show.  As an actor, Joe Towne has worked with people like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Hillary Swank and you can see him opposite Rebel Wilson in Isn’t It Romantic, which premiered in February of 2019 and is now available on iTunes. Joe Towne is also an acting coach at one of the top studios in Hollywood where he co-created their audition technique program. He works with professional actors and athletes, as they transition from their sport into the entertainment industry.  He also works with corporations bringing Mindset into practice in the workplace.  Last summer Joe helped coached up the top 24 high school quarterbacks in the country at the Elite 11 weekend in Los Angeles. The Actors Mindset program has been in Los Angeles (both independently and at The Aquila School), at USC, UCLA and most recently at the Vancouver Film School. To learn more about Mindset check out this interview on THAT ONE AUDITION podcast. Show notes: Why artists need boredom. Why you are an artist. Grab Madelyn's Free Gifts: maddymoon.com/freegift Being an artist doesn't mean being in deprivation and scarcity. The alarming financial statistics with being an actor. Madelyn's struggles with feeling scarcity while exploring the artist's world. "The myth of the tortured artist" The old model that there isn't enough for me unless I suffer. "Nothing abundant comes from burnout. When you're not embodying abundance, you're not going to attract it." The reason why we can't speak generally about abundance. If you're wanting to be a full-time actor, how do you not get into burnout? The principle of sustainability. "Take your rest as seriously as your hustle." How Feng Shui and your environment ties into an abundant mindset. Your environment reflects you whether it's seen or in a drawer — everything creates this constellation of energy that affects what's coming up. "That is which is closest to you has the greatest impact on you." Our entire home is marketing to us all day long and our home is a vision board. The stages of a Feng Shui makeover. The pitfalls of Feng Shui. Every culture has their own version of Feng Shui. "Joy is the vehicle that you travel your life with." The "flow state" or "runners high" - the optimal state of being.  Must-read book: The Alchemist https://amzn.to/2RtX2FN ; Peak Performance https://amzn.to/34aASxk Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Episode 298: This is Madelyn's second episode where she discusses the Coronavirus and the stay-in-place quarantine. It feels silly to talk about anything else during these vulnerable times. Today, she's coming at you with applicable thoughts for your life outside of the quarantine. She dives right in on how the masculine and feminine containers are being affected, not only for us individually, but for the planet. It's not a secret that our world is lacking grounding and footing and it's impacting us all. In this episode, you'll learn how you can show up and give yourself the structure that you're craving. You'll also learn Madelyn's tangible advice for the quarantine and what her daily routine consists of. You'll also hear why it's okay to not feel super productive right now and how to give yourself a break.  One thing's for sure — we're all in this together. We're feeling the same things — the ups, the downs, and the 'all-arounds'. We've never had as much emotional polarity in our lives, right? It's true that not much is constant right now and this episode helps us to be okay with that. Show notes: "When our world is lacking grounding and footing, it’s really challenging to go as deep as we'd like in other areas (business, relationships, etc)." When there’s no grounding, it’s hard to fly.  Why our nervous systems do not feel safe right now.  In order for the feminine to feel emotionally and creatively expressed, she has to know that the alpha (masculine) has got her. We don’t have harmony right now.  How to create your safe, grounded container.  Why it will help you look for the masculine wherever you can right now. Any time you have discipline showing up in your life, that’s your masculine.  You are your best teacher - act like it right now.  Why women struggle with feeling mad. 'Gaslighting' and how it applies to the quarantine.  This is a time that people are feeling two different emotional polarities at the same time. i.e., secure vs terrified Madelyn's tangible list of things to do to help you throughout this time.

Doing the things that make you come alive, is what makes more of you available for love and life.  Fear is your thermometer for how close you’re getting to the thing you need to do in your life.

Why Dan Doty doesn’t use the phrase “men’s work.” How to bring this energy into our family dynamics so that we don't push them away. How Dan Doty got to the place where he no longer blames his father. Distinguishing between fault vs responsibility. One of the most powerful ways to get to a man is by being an example of someone they respect. "Men are fragile." How Dan navigates being the protector to being open with his feelings/emotionally available.  Reevaluating why we need protection from men — why are we putting pressure on men to protect us? What mothers and fathers need to be aware of for their little boys. How can we as parents slow down enough and unhook our agendas and allow our kids to have their own truth to come through?

Episode 294:  Do you have a hard time owning and blending all of the parts and pieces that make up you? If so, you're not alone. Many of us shut down the parts of us that we don't think are appropriate for the current situation we're in. We feel uncomfortable wearing red lipstick to the office. We feel shameful for having pics of our gurus on our desk for fear if someone sees them and thinks we're a weirdo. We hide our truest self, every single day. Here's the thing — doing the thing and being seen doing it, liberates you. And more importantly, it makes you more available to love and to be loved. More of you is available. By connecting to all of the parts and pieces that make you, you... you soften something in your body that simply becomes magnetic. Blending the feminine and masculine energies of who you truly are makes you electric.  Because at the end of the day, it's YOU who thinks you're too snobbish. It's YOU who thinks too loud. It's YOU who thinks you're too intelligent. It's YOU who thinks you're the black sheep. The moment you realize those truths, you can't turn back. You all a sudden know that if you think that, then it is up to YOU to make a choice to change it. All a sudden you're responsible and everything is in your hands. This is where healing gets done — when you reveal a part of you that you've been hiding for all of these years. This episode will teach you how to own who you are and the importance of blending the "work" you with the "real" you. Show notes: Madelyn’s juicy, seductive ritual of letting pleasure lead her for 24 hours. Madelyn's favorite toy - her cervix wand: https://bit.ly/2SK5a5X Blending your energies — how can I be a feminine embodied creature while also running a masculine business? Why Madelyn is over the traditional business hustle and the discouraging feeling of overwhelm.  “It’s up to me to allow myself to step back.” “Let your feminine heart - your yearning to let go, to run the show for a bit.” How to start training your masculine with meditation and breathwork. How to create harmony where you have a choice in what energy (masculine/feminine) you lead with.  The reframe with feeling judged and how to release those stories that we tell ourselves. How to create more ownership to make a different, more empowering choice.  Fun fact: Egypt is the #1 feminine country. The sobering thought that you are going to pass and how Madelyn uses it as the biggest motivating factor. “Any outward focus is you’re really trying to numb the inward experience.” More of you is available to love and be loved when you’re taking ownership of your desires.  When you connect your heart to your yoni lips something softens in your body that is magnetic.  How to become more available and open yourself to all the versions of you. “You can’t truly love all that life provides if you can’t love all that you provide.” “Everything is a reflection — start taking ownership of that reflection.” The Embodied Retreat with Jamie Wollrab: maddymoon.com/events Connect with Maddy:  Facebook: https://facebook.com/moonfitness/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/ Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes: http://maddymoon.com/itunes Download my Four Favourite Feminine Embodiment Practices: https://maddymoon.com/freegift Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
