The abundance you seek, is seeking you. Isn’t that nice to know?  Here’s the catch…. What might be standing in the way of you receiving all the outer abundance you desire? Feelings of lack, limitation, or any scarcity thinking you may have consciously or subconsciously picked up along the way from those around you. Once these limits fade away you will be able to tune into your own inherent worthiness + abundance. “Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.” ~ Wayne Dyer How do you do tune into your own abundance?  Here are 3 ways: You…

The holiday season can bring up a lot of emotions. So often, we get preoccupied with our long to-do lists + family obligations, that before we know it, we feel overwhelmed, run-down or even get sick. The radio may tell us “it’s the most wonderful time of the year,” but when we have sadness, anger, frustration or other emotions that we don’t take the time to express, experience and move through to completion, they tend to get stuck in the body. Years ago, I faced debilitating back pain after a snowboarding incident. When the pain kept recurring, a friend gave…

The number #1 cause of suffering for creative entertainment professionals? Attachment…wanting the role, the screenplay to sell, the interview to lead to getting hired, the series to get picked up, the agent to sign you etc. Any time you are truly detached from needing something to happen, you are actually allowing it to materialize much faster + easier Or as Deepak Chopra wisely explains…. As the year begins to wind down, it’s easy to feel like you “need” certain things to happen to feel good about yourself, to feel good about 2014, how you look to others, your worthiness +…

Haven’t you noticed with some people, success just seems to find them…over and over? Things align for them.  Success comes easily. What is their secret?  Connections, training, looks? None of the above. If you interviewed 100 successful people in our business, the common denominating factor in their success would be their…consistent state of mind. More often than not, they don’t get stuck in a state of struggle, but find reasons to feel good now, matter what obstacles they may be facing. They make feeling good #1 on their To Do List. From the outside, it may seem as if they…

Do you know how powerful you are?  Really?  Do you know that whatever you can conceive as true, you can bring into being? But here’s the catch:  You don’t get what you want. you get what you believe, or as Wayne Dyer simply states, “When you believe it, you will see it.” So, if you’ve been taking lots of action to achieve your goals + not getting the results you desire, odds are, at a deep subconscious level, what you believe to be true about yourself + your dreams being realized needs to shift. When your beliefs change, so do your actions + ultimately…

With a few more months left in the year, now is a perfect time to clear the clutter + create space for what you want to invite into your life. When you get rid of anything that doesn’t serve a positive purpose in your life, you make room for things that will. Clutter-clearing is modern-day alchemy.” ~ Denise Linn To invite more of anything into your life – career success, a loving relationship, money or anything else, you need to make space for it to show up + for it to want to stay with you.  It’s almost like preparing for a…

Do you ever dim your light so those around you won’t feel threatened?  Do you ever make “less” of booking a job or doing something fabulous so you don’t shine too brightly or seem boastful?  I have. Maybe it’s a “nice-girl-from-the-midwest” thing, but it never leaves anyone feeling good…not me, not them.  Once I realized that “dimming my light” was not helping anyone else shine brighter or feel better, I realized it was just a learned behavior that I could undo.  And I did! Imagine living from a place of knowing: As Marianne Williamson says, “Your playing small does not serve…

I have learned over the years that handling rejection in a positive way is one of the most valuable skills you can hone to create a long-lasting career. Whether you’re an actor or work in any part of the entertainment industry, you are going to get rejected….a lot. So, when you don’t get a callback or don’t get the job you’ve auditioned or interviewed for, do you beat yourself up or do move on easily? It might be comforting to remind yourself that every successful person has been rejected along the way. No exceptions. Here’s some inspiring proof… “You ain’t…
