This week on The Salisha Show, Salisha Thomas reflects on a season of pause that ultimately expanded her understanding of what was possible for her life and career. After years of performing in Beautiful on tour and on Broadway, followed by preparing for a new show, the world slowed down and so did the industry she had built her identity around.

Rather than seeing that moment as something being taken away, Salisha shares how it became an invitation to look beyond a single dream and recognize new ways of creating stability, fulfillment, and creative expression. From building a sound studio in her apartment to exploring voiceover work and creating a podcast rooted in connection and storytelling, she walks through how this chapter allowed her to redefine success on her own terms.

In this solo episode, she reflects on
• How a pause can reveal opportunities you may not have seen otherwise
• The importance of building a life that supports your whole self
• Why diversifying your skills and income creates freedom rather than limitation
• How creativity can evolve without losing its core
• What it means to build a life that feels aligned, sustainable, and expansive

This episode is an honest reminder that sometimes life does not take something away. Sometimes it simply widens the path.
