Off Duty

on Instagram I guess. I posted a video this week which literally flopped. It had me questioning if I should ever sing again! I mean not really, but a little. So here we are using my podcast as a full on venting and therapy session. xx Deana

I watched The Voice. I asked myself why did I stop singing? Then I feel into a rabbit hole and started to think about American Idol auditions, sending demo songs to Hilary Duff, and why can't I start over? xx Deana

What better way to celebrate my 300th episode with a real chat, unedited of course, of how I am not dulling my light for anyone... not lowering my excitement because you're just not a "morning person" and really because you would feel more comfortable if I was a different way... EHHHHHH (the sound of a buzzer) because nope, no thank you... not this girl! Sassy, proud, and yes... I am...

Friday 7/31 I will step up to a new level... my bday that is.

So here is to another level, and for all those continue to hang out with me on the way! xx Deana

I love a good horror film I love a good eerie moment... but I am obsessed, obsessed with Obsession. So let me obsessively talk about it today on the podcast! xx Deana

Making more room for what I need is not giving up. Making more room for what needs space in my life, is not giving up. It is what is needed for me to continue to grow, succeed, and be happy. xxDeana

Me not giving you energy, is different from me not caring.. I promise. xx Deana
