The Hollywood Success Podcast

When we're pursuing a big dream, it's scary and uncomfortable. We're living in the unknown everyday. Because of this, we often seek out formulas or easy-to-follow steps, to make the pursuit feel less risky.

But when you're pursuing something extraordinary, you can't take ordinary steps.

This episode is a deep dive into why that's actually awesome and hwo you can use it to your advantage.

This is something I've never spoken about before. I share what consequences you'll experience when you pursue a dream that's close to what you want but not exactly what you want. You'll hear real examples of how it has played out in my life, and why I think it's life-changing to understand.

.....And we're back!

Hello, Season 5. This episode is about dreams that aren't logical—so much so, that it can be hard to find people who support them. 

What do you do when people don't support your vision? Or when people don't believe you can't do it? What do you do when other people's doubts start to make you doubt? I share how I've navigated those obstacles in the past year and a half as I produced my first TV special.

See the pinned post on my Instagram @hollywoodsuccesscoach to watch the trailer for my special!

Every 3 years our (the people who work in the crew for television and features) contracts are re-negotiated with the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers). This year, we've asked the AMPTP to stop the abuse with the 14-16 hour days, the lack of proper rest periods, the "new media" contracts, no meal breaks, and unlivable wages. AMPTP basically told us to go f*ck ourselves. Please listen to this important and pressing episode, with a very important vote coming up next week!

Oh, rejection! You're so annoying! Am I right?! Rejection pops its head up a lot in our Hollywood careers and can have a big impact on our next moves. What most people don't realize, is our response to rejection is a completely unconscious pattern that creates predictability in our careers. So if we want exciting new things to happen, we have to change how we handle rejection.

If you've ever experienced rejection before, this episode is for you! This episode might blow your mind. Get ready!

This is my favorite episode to date! In this episode, I'm talking with one of my course students, Nikole Mitchell (who is pursuing an acting career after creating a massively successful Life Coaching business) about the reality most of us have been living -- fear based limitations that are passed down from person to person.

We are not interested in what most people consider "realistic expectations," we are much more interested in the reality we choose to create (that goes way beyond the limitation most people buy into).

Today's episode covers two versions of a similar question:

1. What to do when you feel paralyzed in overwhelm and you're not sure what action to take, so you're stuck where you are.

2. What to do when you feel stuck because you're interested in a few different avenues and you're not sure which one to take.

If you feel either of those, this episode is for you! Also, if you've read a bunch of mindset books on money, law of attraction, goal setting, or any other personal development topic, there is an important message in here for you, too!

Today I'm chatting with Cassandra Nuss, alumni client and actress extraordinaire. I'm thrilled that Cass agreed to sit down with me on the podcast and share her story because she is ALL OF US.

Cass's story is so relatable -- less than a year ago, she was on the verge of quitting. She felt stuck and unfulfilled and didn't know what to do. Then she made some major changes, and as a result, completely transformed her career.

If you want to know what upleveling looks like, this is it. Cass takes us through her journey and shares what worked for her. I hope this episode inspires you to take a leap and go after your own dreams! Your potential is infinite.

Oh my friends, this is such an important episode! I'm talking all about TIMING -- why things take "so long".

If you are anything like me, you are probably impatient when it comes to your dreams. You want it and you want it NOW. Every hour that goes by without it is gut-wrenching.

Sound familiar? This episode is for you. I talk about WHY things take so long and what you can do to speed it up.

On today's episode, I'm going deep. I'm sharing two really impactful failures/rejections in my career. It's still a bit triggering to relive them, but I wanted to share how they impacted me, and what I chose to do with them in relation to moving forward.

Failure is something we need to normalize. The fear of it can be so paralyzing that it stops you from taking risks or actions, and therefore, never realizing your dreams.

If you are terrified to take a leap, if you're afraid of failing, if you're afraid what others will think of you if you "fail", then this episode is for you!

Come join me in Los Angeles for my live workshop on January 26! There are still tickets left (although they are going fast!) and early bird price ends on Dec 18.

I also mention the first self development book I ever read that had a big impact on my career: The Success Principles by Jack Canfield.

This episode was soooo fun for me because talking about my dream home is my happy place. I hope it's enjoyable for you, too! 

I break down what manifestation is all about, how you can be intentional with it so you can manifest what you want, and why it feels different when you're trying to manifest something "big".

I share what I've been doing behind the scenes over the last few years to manifest my own "big" dream - a multimillion dollar house in the Hollywood Hills. 

If you are curious about manifestation, or about how to manifest something really "big," then this episode is for you.

If you're curious to hear how I've been doing it myself for my house dream, then you'll love this episode too!

Sometimes your dreams feel HUGE and so overwhelming  you just freeze and wonder "How can I do this?"  It's hard to move forward when we freeze like this.  It brings out our fears.  So try breaking it down into baby steps to get out of that fear - anything to move you forward.  I'll give you some examples, and then help bridge you into taking bigger steps so you don't get stuck playing too small.

Other people's opinions about what your experiences should be like often mirror the results that we get in our career. These "stories" seep into our subconscious and end up dictating the way in which we go after our dreams.

But these stories can be rewritten. Your career can look however you want it to look. You can experience it however you want to experience it.

Sorry I missed last week! I was busy attending Jack Canfield's live event in Los Angeles and being a total fan girl!

In today's episode, I share inspiring content that I learned at Jack's event. Starting with Jack's famous formula: E+R=O, Event + Response = Outcome.

Most of us live our lives switching that formula to Events + Outcome = Response. Events happen in our life, determining out outcome, and then we respond to that. But our outcome is actually determined on how we respond to the events that happen in our life.

When events happen in your career, that feel out of our control, all we can do is control how we respond to them.
