On to the Next Quarter
Navigating young adulthood is a rollercoaster of an experience. We all begin pursuing different walks of life, but feel lost about our path and purpose. My name is Shweta Loomba and in this podcast I want to take you along the journey of individuals who are CURRENTLY in pursuit of their passion. Join me along with other inspiring individuals as we navigate this next quarter of our life. Together we can take risks, grow from our failures, celebrate our successes, build a community and inspire others while living our purpose. But most importantly we will learn to enjoy the process of our self-discovery. Because after all, life is all about the journey!

Zina Wilde: “Success came when I was in my JOY, not my suffering!”

Today’s conversation is with actress, writer, and producer Zina Wilde, who is known for her work on Billions and 80 for Brady.
We spoke about what it really feels like to chase a dream for decades: moving to New York alone at 17 from Greece, navigating rejection in the film industry, redefining success, burnout, creativity, loneliness, community, and learning how to find joy again.
This conversation felt less like an interview and more like an honest reflection on ambition, identity, and the pressure so many of us feel to “make it.”
We also dive into:
- the emotional reality of the acting industry
- self-worth and rejection
- why achievement doesn’t always equal fulfillment
- healing through travel and nature
- the importance of play, movement, and community
- social media, authenticity, and creative pressure
- learning to be kinder to yourself
