#127: How to Improve Your Mindset and Have Personal Growth with Elisa di Napoli
As a performer, Elisa di Napoli enjoyed creating and sharing stories through her music. But with severe performance anxiety, it became nearly impossible to actually take the stage. Elisa tried drinking wine, using beta blockers, and taking improv classes, but nothing worked until she learned how to be kind to herself.
Today, she’s an artist coach, hypnotherapist, and multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, producing 12 albums under the stage name Elyssa Vulpes. She helps others approach their next journey with the right mindset, allowing them to overcome stage fright or whatever obstacles are in the way.
We’re chatting through some of her mind hacks, how to address your fight or flight response, and ways to unify your brand across everything you do.
