Not Famous Yet

We all do it... we set expectations. And how often is it that those expectations don’t match with the reality of the situation (answer: almost ALWAYS)!? Episode 10 brings you real talk on these ever so frequent situations + how we navigate them.

If you could do anything else... what would it be? Sometimes it’s important to have a back up plan! Things don’t always go as we planned and that’s ok! But being prepared and having a plan B can help gear you toward something to get you back on your feet. Especially w/ actors having a different type of “job” and not being as stable as others, we are often prompted to fall back on the back up plan!

Week 8 takes a venture down documentary lane and detours onto environmentalist boulevard. While Becca is heavily consumed by her feelings about the current state of the world, Grace ties in documentaries that shed light on real topics such as What The Health, The Inconvenient Truth, Ted Bundy Files and more.

Below are ways you can help save the Amazon Rainforest, Bees, Coral Reef + more information about the Cameron Boyce Foundation

The Amazon Rainforest act as the lungs of Mother Earth contributing to over 20% percent of the world’s oxygen alone and it is on fire. Not only that but in replacement of oxygen we now have smoke + pollutants. There have been over 74,000 fires since JANUARY 2019. This is an 83% increase since 2018. This is huge + demands our attention and help.
