Episode 8: Can I get better at being loud? (and other diaphragm things)

This is in response to a submitted question, "Can I get better at being loud?" This person has noticed that she isn't able to raise her speaking volume to match the crowded spaces she is returning to after years of quiet pandemic life.

Main points:
1. There are 7+ diaphragms in our bodies.
2. They are areas that separate one area from another and help to manage internal and external pressures/forces on our bodies.
3. They need to ascend and descend together to facilitate the movement of air and our bodies in general. 
4. Working on the body position extremes (positions of exhale and inhale) and then gradually working on the control of airflow and speaking volume to build stamina will help!
