The wheels are finally turning, y’all—and this entertainment career of mine? Fully in motion. After months of prepping, building my portfolio, and putting in consistent behind-the-scenes work, I’ve hit a streak of wins that feel like pure proof that when focus meets aligned action... magic happens.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my very first agency meeting. I’m spilling everything I researched before walking through the door—from digging into their socials and poking around their website to prepping questions about exclusivity, market focus, and red flags. I’ll give you the full breakdown: the pros (personalized attention), the cons (a few broken links, yikes), and why I still said yes to the offer despite a few hesitations.

But we’re just getting started! I also got featured on The Model Workshop’s Instagram (!!!), booked a fire test shoot with the incredible Chelsea Bradway—think road signs, red pumps, and a jacket so good I had to buy it on the spot—and finally started building my acting website after putting it off forever. Shoutout to my dream designer, RuthAnn at RArtspace, who made it happen with a payment plan that actually worked for me.

The thread running through all of this? Intentional energy. When you commit to your craft, show up consistently, and trust your timing, the glow-up starts to unfold in ways you never expected.

Your journey might look different than mine, but the formula still applies: show up, stay ready, and trust the work you’re putting in.

Let’s glow up together—because your breakthrough moment might be closer than you think.

Ever wonder what really makes an audition successful—besides booking the role? I’m back on the mic after a little hiatus, and today I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a personal experiment I ran during a recent in-person callback at CP Casting.

Instead of letting nerves take over, I walked in with a clear intention: to embody that “it factor” energy—neutral, grounded, and fully present. I turned the waiting room into a little mindset lab, noticing the difference between holding space versus shrinking under pressure. And when the teleprompter glitched (first way too fast, then painfully slow), I stayed rooted in the moment. The feedback? They loved my grounded choices and direction-following—major win, even if I didn’t walk away with the role.

That experience ended up shaping my entire Q1 review as an actor. From callbacks to finally liking how I look on camera (!!!), to creating this podcast—there’s a lot to celebrate. I’m also being super real: I haven’t booked yet this year, and that’s okay. I’m not chasing just any role—I’m creating space for the right ones.

Looking ahead to Q2, I’m focusing on fresh headshots, reel upgrades, coaching, and showing up like the version of me who’s already booked and busy.

Oh—and I just got back some gorgeous model digitals from a workshop I did, and I’m obsessed.

Let’s talk about something that’s totally flipped the game for me.
I used to believe I had to audition for everything—every breakdown, every opportunity, every maybe-fit role. But let’s be honest: that mindset is exhausting and lowkey soul-crushing.

Here’s the plot twist: my best gigs? They didn’t come from the hustle of constant auditions. They came from clients who found me directly through my agency’s site. Yep—they picked me.

That realization changed everything. I stopped scrambling for roles that didn’t feel aligned and started getting really intentional about the ones I say yes to. I’m no longer bending myself to fit every part—I’m finding the parts that actually fit me.

This isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing it smarter. It’s about taking back some power in an industry that often feels like a never-ending audition room. Already this year, I’ve turned down multiple auditions that didn’t feel like a match—and instead of feeling FOMO, I felt free.

Outside of that shift, I’ve been leveling up in other areas too—adding fresh e-comm photos to my portfolio from an amazing workshop, researching new markets (hey Connecticut!), and gearing up to update my demo reel. I’m building a brand that feels like me, not just checking boxes.

So if you’re an actor, a model, a multi-passionate creative—whoever you are—just know this: saying no isn’t closing doors, it’s clearing the runway for the right ones to open.

Stick around for more glow-up strategies, and remember: your next big move doesn’t have to be loud. It just has to be true. 💫
