In this episode, Darren Darnborough and I dive deep into themes like unhooking from results and the importance of coming from a place of wholeness in a world often beyond our control. We discuss the 50 percent rule, which emphasizes focusing on what you can control and letting go of the rest—essential for building confidence and reducing overthinking. Darren shares insights from his journey as an actor, including the challenges of auditioning and the brilliance of WeAudition.com, a platform that empowers actors to refine their craft. I also share my personal experience with WeAudition.com and the benefits it provided me, highlighting how it allowed me to enjoy the fun of being of service and playing with other actors. We explore how to shift our perspective on comparison, using it as a source of healthy motivation rather than a path to unhappiness.

Rebecca’s reminder of the importance of opening the heart was nothing short of transformative. Our conversation felt like a deep, healing shift—a call to release the barriers around my heart and allow more love, connection, and possibility to flow in. The way she brings this wisdom into her work is incredibly powerful, and it’s already opened something new in me. I’m excited to witness how this heart-centered approach ripples out and impacts others. I can't wait to see how it opens you, too—it's the kind of transformation that touches everything.

In this minisode, I reflect on my recent interview with my mentor Cathy Heller, exploring how childhood wounds shape our present lives. I share Cathy’s painful seventh-grade experience and her mother’s struggles with suicidal thoughts, explaining how these events inspired Cathy to create a supportive community for women.
I then discuss my own wounded seventh-grade self and, inspired by Cathy, write a healing letter to that younger version. I invite you to do the same, experience the power of confronting emotional pain for your growth and transformation. I conclude by expressing gratitude for my sensitivity, calling it the "gold" in my story, and inviting you to share your own journeys with me right now.
