29 | How to Move Past Labels and Expectations
Show Notes

Are you feeling stuck because of labels or expectations you have heard from others or put on yourself?  I get it, when I decided to leave a career in theatre I was lost.  I defined myself as a theatre person.  What was I if I wasn't that anymore?!

In this week's episode I give you three challenges and exercises on how  to get unstuck!  1) Remove the labels and realize you are so much more than your career.  2) Let go of expectations of others (or of yourself).  3) Figure out what makes you genuinely happy.  Easy peasy :)  Seriously, I walk you through it all, take a listen!  And I'm here to help if you want to connect!
