In this episode, Salisha shares a story from her time in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical that still makes her heart race! A costume pin in the wrong place. A set malfunction. A forgotten line. A voice that suddenly refuses to phonate. And thousands of people in the audience watching everything happen in real time.

In this solo episode, Salisha reflects on
• Why performers often have to smile through chaos to keep the show alive
• How unexpected moments reveal a performer’s strength and presence
• What losing her voice onstage taught her about recovery and resilience
• The power of slowing down before burnout takes over
• Why giving yourself grace is essential in any high-pressure environment

Her story offers an honest look at what it means to be a working performer and how even the roughest nights can become the moments that teach you the most about who you are and what you are capable of handling.
