Have you ever wondered what is actually happening inside the brain of an artist? How does this mindset stuff actually work and is there science to back it up?

Adding habits into your life can feel like a grueling process. While on one hand you're excited to start something new, on the other you may be wondering if this will be just another thing that comes and goes like the wind.
You want to be consistent, but it's like there's something working against you and even if you're been doing something for a while the habit may not feel as good as you thought it would....

Have you ever been on a contract or been in a relationship and suddenly realized you had lost yourself amidst it all?
Things were moving so quickly and whether you noticed it at first or not, one day you woke up and looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the person that was looking back at you.
I've been there... multiple times and so I'm here to reveal to you the not so pretty truth about why you lose yo...

There are so many avenues you can go down in the Performing Arts Industry that it can be easy to feel like you have to "fit" yourself in each one. But, what if I told you that by "fitting" yourself in the box you think they want you in, you're actually hurting your chances of being booked?
Your energy is unique to you, but if you're tucking away the bits that make you unique and you're only sh...

Have you found that the "no"s are getting harder and harder to hear? Are you thinking that this should be getting easier since you've been auditioning for a while already? This week I am answering the question of how to make it easier and by the title you already know not caring isn't the answer.
So many people think they just need to not care about the jobs, not care if they are being told no and not care ...

In this Bonus Episode Susanne Puerschel and I are talking about our next topic for the Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop on February 28th. 
VALIDATION

We're diving into why we chose this topic and our own experiences with Validation. As performing artists, we are taught to look outside of ourselves for validation not only for our art, but also for our worth. This, as I'm sure you can tell, is a problem because...

Creating experiences that are dedicated to our growth, spiritual development and pure enjoyment can feel easy when it is a designated practice, but how often are you creating those moments throughout your day?
How often are you experiencing gratitude for the tiny moments that some may argue are insignificant?
This week I am diving into the idea of integrating magic into the mundane with my amazing guest Carson Robertson. <...

Have you ever walked into the first day of rehearsals, a new dance class or even a group of friends and asked yourself "do I belong here?"
Do you find yourself shapeshifting and changing who are you to fit in with the group that you're with?
All of these things are symptoms of already deciding that you don't belong and feeling like you need to be part of the group rather than trusting that the unique com...

James Jin is a visual artist in NYC. He is passionate about showing up in a way that helps people...

As artists it's so easy to feel pinned in as one thing or another. Flowing and pivoting within the arts is so normal, but I don't think it's talked about enough and therefore it may seem like you're not committed enough or like you aren't a real performer because you aren't focusing all of your time on one thing. That's why I'm so excited to have Claudia on the podcast this week!

The Next Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop is happening January 17th and we are diving into POWER! When Susanne brought this up to me she expressed how it wasn't until she realized that power meant something bad to her that it made sense why she had been pushing it away. As I began to think about it I too had some negative experiences with power and it was that, that was stopping both of us from claiming our personal power. 

It is 2022! How are you feeling?

When talking about manifestation it's so easy to get caught up in where you want to go. You have goals and dreams that you are achieving and you have a life that you are creating, but what about your life right now? Are you finding yourself just going through the motions? Have you felt like you're acting on auto pilot? Are you an active participant in your own life or are you just putting your head down, shutting the worl...
