Actor Edwina Findley takes us on a deeply moving journey through the entertainment industry, revealing her journey from humble beginnings to Netflix's "The Residence" while maintaining her integrity in a challenging business.

Edwina shares stories of powerful moments that shaped her career and affirmed her belief that surrendering to a larger calling would yield greater fulfillment than pursuing self-generated dreams alone.

Early career obstacles tested Edwina's resolve when agents told her "Hollywood is for beautiful people" and pressured her to compromise her values regarding content. These challenges forced her to develop resilience and clarity about her boundaries. Her approach to maintaining health while working in entertainment offers practical wisdom for anyone navigating creative industries—build community, serve others, and avoid idolizing your career.

Academy Award-winner Viola Davis, who wrote the foreword to Edwina's debut book "The World is Waiting for You," describes her as "a life force" who alters lives upon contact. This conversation demonstrates why—Edwina's authentic vulnerability, wisdom, and joy create space for listeners to reflect on their own purpose beyond professional achievements.

Check out Edwina's book "The World is Waiting for You," available for pre-order wherever books are sold.
