The BE Way: Episode 1 featuring Eden Espinosa & Patrice Covington

Our opening episode of Fit for Broadway’s new podcast, The BE Way, is with two of our favorite Broadway heroes, Eden Espinosa and Patrice Covington.

Patrice Covington discusses her transformation in a body she has always loved; “Don’t be a star, be a galaxy”. And Eden Espinosa revisits a blog post she wrote a few years ago about living in her truth; “Don’t let fear get in the way of what you want to do.”

“I am Patrice Covington and Broadway inspires me to BE tenacious” -Patrice Covington

“My body is my instrument. I suppose that means.. My body is loud. My body is bold. My body has a lot of crescendos and decrescendos. It is brassy and it has a lot of solos.” -Patrice Covington

“It was an 8:00PM class. It was totally dark. It was candlelit only. They had awesome music. Nothing like what I thought yoga was. I felt comfortable body-wise there, which I did not expect at all. I thought yoga was for like, young white ladies. Like, that’s what I thought. I never saw anybody thick, curvy, plus sized, and definitely not black in yoga. When I went there that night at the end of the class I laid in a puddle, I sometimes get emotional when I tell this story… I laid in a puddle of what I could not tell what was sweat and what was tears. But I knew I felt good about it.” -Patrice Covington

“I’m Eden Espinosa and Broadway inspires me to BE better.”- Eden Espinosa

“I am more than just someone who has been on Broadway.” -Eden Espinosa

“Grow and cultivate all areas of your life so you never ever have to question your existence or what you’ve been brought into this life to do. If there is something you want in your life, don’t let fear take it away from you before you’ve even tried to get it.” -Eden Espinosa

“You are enough. Fear is a liar.” -Eden Espinosa

“The more transparent we are about everything, the more we realize we’re not alone. We’re all in this together.” -Eden Espinosa

How To Start Singing

So you want to start singing? Great! You might be so excited you can’t wait for your first lesson. If you are like most people, you may also be filled with a little trepidation or even outright anxiety. Here are 5 pieces of advice to help make that first lesson a great one.   1. You Are Not Supposed To Know Anything Yet. Your teacher is not a judge on American Idol. Remember that when you walk into your first lesson and first learn how to start singing, it is their job to teach you, not your job to impress them. Relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy   learning how to sing   from someone who has dedicated their life to it. They will appreciate you acknowledging their expertise, and you will be relieved from the pressure to perform.   2. Love Your Mistakes. Mistakes are not mistakes, they are part of the learning process. Imagine that instead of learning to sing, you were learning to   play guitar . Would you cringe and crumble every time you plucked the wrong n...

We value our partnership with Fit for Broadway, not least because of the ways it prompts us all to think about fitness. Typically, when people hear the word “fitness,” they think of the ways we use the body to become more healthy. Whether through strength training, cardiovascular exercise, high-intensity intervals, calisthenics, or any of the enormous number of fitness activities that have arisen in recent years, our culture has seen the evolution of incredible diversity in the ways we train our bodies. In addition, as we learn and perceive more about the connections between mind and body – meditation, yoga, and other practices to train ...
