This week, Salisha reflects on what it means to live and create in the space between acts. As a Broadway performer, life is often defined by auditions, rehearsals, and curtain calls. But there are moments when the show pauses and something quieter begins to unfold.

Salisha shares how stepping back from auditions, honoring her body, and navigating her new pregnancy journey opened the door to opportunities she never could have planned. What began as a season of rest became a reminder that when artists listen closely, life has a way of placing them exactly where they are meant to be.

She reflects on
• What it means to honor an intermission without fearing the end
• How stepping back can create room for unexpected opportunities
• Trusting timing even when the path looks different
• Balancing ambition, artistry, and real life
• Recognizing when a moment arrives that feels both surprising and familiar

This episode is a reminder that some of the most meaningful moments in an artist’s life do not come from chasing the stage, but from being ready when the stage appears again.
