I didn’t give up on my dreams after all. From working at Starbucks, & decades of odd jobs to becoming a working actor, writer, & director.

I’ve gained immense personal freedom through the knowledge that comes from the ups and downs of growing up. At this age it’s wonderful to no longer be tied up with people pleasing. You really start to understand how short life is and that your dreams are too important not to pursue.
How do you stay fabulous?Honestly, as cheesy as it may sound, filling gratitude into the start of every day has changed my life. Slowing down, going outside for a few minutes in the morning has brought my stress and anxiety down notably. I’m just happier carving out time in the morning to enjoy the world.
What would you do with the $40,000?This money would change my life. As a very small business owner of an acting studio I could invest in my business and my incredible students. We are currently nomads, and I’m teaching classes in various locations. It would be incredible to put down roots with a long term location. I also have medical and disaster debt. We could wipe that out completely!
