"What Was I Thinking?" about Theatre and Life Lessons

Experiences, thoughts, and feelings that shaped my words.

Ever wonder what it really means to “know your role”—on stage, at work, or in life? In this episode, I share the surprising lessons I learned from missing out on a lead role, only to land it later, and how listening to tough feedback transformed not just my singing, but my entire approach to leadership and learning. We’ll talk about why the best leaders aren’t always in the spotlight, why you should never let perfect be the enemy of good, and how accepting praise with grace can change your mindset—and your impact. If you’ve ever felt like a background character in your own story, this episode is for you.
