For a long time, I believed that if I wasn't exhausted… I wasn't working hard enough.
Long rehearsals.
Eight-show weeks.
Always chasing the next opportunity.
I wore busy like a badge of honor.
But somewhere along the way, I realized I had tied my worth to how hard I was pushing myself.
In this episode, we're talking about what it really means to build a life you actually enjoy living.
You'll hear about:
- The unexpected paycheck that completely changed how I viewed my career
- Why Broadway will always have my heart—but can't be my only dream
- How stepping away from something you love doesn't mean you're giving up on it
- The difference between being busy and being fulfilled
- Why hobbies might actually become the careers we're meant to build
- What success without burnout looks like
- The question I've been asking myself that has completely shifted my perspective
If you've been questioning your next chapter, feeling burned out, or wondering if there's another way to build your life…
