I had an amazing time chatting with Reena Friedman Watts on The @BetterCallDaddy Show. We got into the nitty-gritty of my life as an American actress, screenwriter, and podcaster living in Germany. I shared my wild ride into the acting world, and we talked about the importance of just jumping in and taking those first steps, even if they’re not perfect. We went back to my film school days and the big leap I took getting back into acting after a 16-year break. It wasn’t always easy balancing family life with a demanding career, and I spilled the tea on my rebellious teenage years and the complicated relationships with my parents. I also got real about forgiving my mom and how that shaped my own parenting style, showing just how strong and resilient we can be. This conversation is packed with heartfelt moments, stories of overcoming adversity, and a lot of laughs. So, join us for a deep dive into embracing imperfections, choosing light over darkness, and finding inspiration in every twist and turn life throws your way.

"What if you've already created the reality of what you desire, and now you just need to step into it?" Let's talk about how this episode is about getting yourself into the right mindset to step into the reality that you've already created. Feeling stuck in your acting career while others seem to move ahead effortlessly? You're not alone. I share my personal journey and the pivotal insights that transformed my acting career. When I restarted my acting career at 47, I faced many challenges. I was an American living in Germany, struggling with the language and the casting opportunities. Despite these obstacles, I was determined to succeed. I went through a process of overcoming limiting beliefs, learning about the business side of acting, and continuously improving my craft. Along the way, I discovered the ABCs of a thriving acting career:

• Achiever’s Attitude: How developing a positive, confident, and resilient mindset made all the difference for me.
• Business Savvy: The importance of understanding the business side of acting, from branding to marketing.
• Craft Mastery: Why continuous improvement through classes and workshops is key.

Building on this, I developed the 5 Pillar Framework:

1. Mindset: Overcoming limiting beliefs and developing a success-oriented attitude.
2. Branding: Creating a strong personal brand that highlights your unique 'unicorn factors.'
3. Marketing: Effectively promoting yourself within the industry.
4. Networking: Building meaningful connections and a supportive community.
5. Community: Engaging with like-minded actors for support and collaboration.

Tune in for actionable tips and inspiring success stories that will motivate you to take charge of your future. Here are a couple of tips to get you started:

1. Define Your Brand: Identify what makes you unique. What kinds of roles are you naturally drawn to? What are your special unicorn factors?
2. Invest in Yourself: Don't wait for the perfect moment to invest in your career. Take action now and believe that your efforts will pay off.
