Soulful Ambition

The podcast for ambitious people yearning for more soul. Formerly known as A Balancing Act, Soulful Ambition explores what it means to live inside out and go after our deepest longings. Analisa Leaming is a Broadway actor turned down what would have been her 5th Broadway show to move her family to the mountains of Colorado and become a full-time coach. Soulful Ambition might sound contradictory at first… Because we’ve let society define ambition as striving for individual success, monetary gain, and personal achievements. But that’s not what the soul really craves. In each episode, we’re calling back the parts of ourselves conditioned to society’s grind and external pressure. And awakening the longing in your chest that is so big it threatens to swallow you whole. So you can shine unapologetically, source from within, and work towards your dreams with abandon.

We have so many tools to prep for auditions, but we rarely talk about how to manage afterwards. The waiting, the doubt, the uncertainty. 

In this short solo episode, Analisa explores some ideas to build the capacity to manage all that arises post audition in order to have a more sustainable, joyful journey.

In this short solo episode Analisa shares the framework she's currently using with her clients: 

What is the new way that we can approach our dreams? 

  • Reflecting on and releasing what doesn't work
  • Redefining and getting clear on how you want to move forward even mid-audition season
  • What's your why today?
  • What is a successful audition?
  • Creating ritual or a practice from the New Way 
  • Creating new habits around auditions and everything "big dream" related

Today's guest is the incomparable J.J. Caruncho - read his full bio here. This episode is filled with truly life changing ideas and inspiration. Here's what lies ahead:

  • His powerful story of being a first generation American with a neurodivergent brain who lost his voice for 10 years after a botched surgery but then spent a decade training members of the Special Forces, NFL, and Film/Broadway Stars in fitness, martial arts and wellness, and then returned to performing!

 

  • The main topic of our conversation emerged: How our beliefs dictate our life and how to build beliefs that support our greatest potential

 

  • An explanation of how we get stuck in limiting beliefs and fear

     

     

  • The magic question: Is this true? 

     

     

  •  Fear of success 

     

     

  •  Perspective on the gift of failure + failure as a scientiic model 

     

     

  • How he uses the brevity of life to be courageous and present

     

     

  •  How losing his voice for a decade (due to a boched surgery) was the greatest gift of his life 

  • And so much more!
