Getting Under The Surface (GUTS)
Getting Under The Surface is a podcast that helps listeners improve their mental, physical and emotional health by digging into the connections between mindfulness, meditation, self-care and relationships — including the relationship we have with ourselves. Topics covered include: anxiety, burnout, caregiving, consciousness, grief, illness, loss, meditation, mindfulness, self care, stress, and trauma. Your podcast host, Joey Donovan Guido, is a certified Teacher of Presence Life Coach who works with people to help them be in the present moment more, instead of being ruled by thoughts and emotions. This has an array of benefits, as it helps individuals approach whatever they’re dealing with in life from a place that’s less anxious and stressed — and more calm and connected with their deeper selves.

- Helping new artists by sharing how Camille got started, herself, as an artist
More About Camille:
Camille is a neurodivergent artist living in Charlottesville, VA. While her Narcolepsy and ADHD present challenges to running a business (and doing all the normal things grown-ups are supposed to do), she prefers to think of these conditions as her artistic superpowers! Narcolepsey causes her to experience colorful hallucinations during the fuzzy state of awareness between wake and sleep, and ADHD allows her to hyper-focus on the creative process and turn these waking dreams into reality.
Growing up in the 80's & 90's influenced Camille's love of shapes, patterns, and color — especially rainbows.
Her creative practice, specifically time spent in Flow State, is essential to her well-being, and a key component of managing her chronic health conditions.
Camille is also the mom of two kiddos who keep her busy.
