Episode No. 20 You're Allowed To Change Direction (In Your Goals, Life + Career)
Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be an actress. So I did what most aspiring young artists do-- I uprooted my life and moved away from my family and friends to pursue my acting career. I invested tens of thousands of dollars on headshots, classes, the whole nine. I went to audition after audition and heard hundreds of “Nos” until 2015. In 2015 my luck finally changed and I started booking major acting gigs, but guess what? I wasn't all that happy.
You see, 2015 was also the same year that I started NoRealJewelry.Com and what started out as just a creative outlet for me quickly turned into my new found passion. My little blog showed me that there were other sides to me. I wasn’t just an actress like I thought I was my whole life. I discovered that deep down inside of me I was also a writer, a photographer, an encourager and many other things. So my dreams began to shift drastically. Being on stage, reading new scripts and auditioning no longer appealed to me. I was more interested in building a community of Dreamers + Doers and turning my "hobby" into a full-fledged business.
In today's episode of The Sunday Jumpstart Podcast, I get super real and vulnerable about the new direction I'm taking in my life + how scary it is to give up on the one dream and goal i’ve had my whole entire life! This week I got an email that was super scary but was just what I needed to let go + move forward on my new journey and that’s what inspired today’s episode.
So if you're anything like me and at a point in your life where your spirit has been itching to switch gears and you're ready to change direction or pivot in your goals, life or career--then this episode is for you!
