S2E7:Stillness Is Not Stagnation: Navigating the Slow Seasons


Listen Later

The industry feels quiet. Auditions are slower, projects are paused, and a lot of us arewondering, “What now?” In this episode, I lean into the stillness. Not as failure, but as a vital part of the creative rhythm.

Whether you're a working actor, a storyteller, or a behind-the-scenes creative balancing motherhood, this episode is your reminder that rest is not a setback and you are not alone. We explore practical ways to stay grounded and creative, even when the calendar is thin.

We also touch on my growing fears around AI and the shift in the industry while also sharing how to stay present.


Todays Topics:

  • Why slow seasons aren't wasted seasons
  • Creative ways to stay engaged without burning out
  • A mindset shift for redefining “progress”
  • How to connect with other moms in the biz right now

  • A creative mom feeling unmotivated or anxious about industry shifts
  • Wondering what to focus on between gigs or during strike-like lulls
  • Curious about how to keep showing up for your creativity
  • Feeling weird about AI and where the biz is going (you’re not alone)
