Today’s solo episode is a special one as we celebrate our fourth podcast anniversary! 

Reflecting on this incredible journey, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all our listeners, guests, and supporters who have been with us for six amazing seasons. We're delving into an important and often overlooked topic: grief in our careers. Join me as I share my personal revelations from a recent voice lesson, where my teacher pointed out the grief and tension I was holding in my face, impacting my ability to learn and grow as an artist. We'll explore how acknowledging and processing grief can open doors to new skills and opportunities.

I'll also discuss the significant changes in our industry, the shift to self-tapes, and the resulting loss of social interaction—a crucial aspect of our artistic community. Furthermore, I'll touch on the evolving landscape of my voiceover career and the lessons learned about financial stability as an artist during these uncertain times.

Whether you're an artist or anyone navigating life's pivots, this episode is for you. We'll reflect on what we're grieving, how it affects our growth, and how we can move forward with compassion and understanding. 

Plus, don't miss out on details about my upcoming cabaret, "In Pursuit of Joy," on October 20, 2024, at The Green Room 42 in New York City!
