You have permission to eat a lobster.

Not really much else to say—@littlepondfaerie hit the nail on the head.
​
What I will say before I go off to a wedding (currently typing in the lounge of a very cute country club in Rhode Island—the Ocean State if you didn't know!) is that I have been working on a FREE offering for my actor community! Woo!!
​
Or really, for anyone who is curious. I personally think it can be helpful to anyone. :)
​
So, I've decided to give you all a sneak peak before the official launch next week! I've included it below. It felt in theme.
​
I hope you all enjoy!!

A Guide for Actors Who Are F***ing Exhausted
​The One Where You Stop Trying to Fix Yourself.

As actors, we are trained to do, right?
​
Do the research, do the script analysis, do the self-tape, do a vocal warm-up, do the emotional prep, eat right, workout, sign up for workshops, do three plays at the same time and get paid for them in Domino’s pizza.
​
We are even taught that acting is all about ACTIONS. Wild. Always be doing. Always know WHAT you’re doing? What are you “doing” in the scene? Do, do, do.

And what do most of us do when we feel anxious, burnt out, or overwhelmed from all the doing?
​
​Find MORE things to do!
​
Whether it’s meditation, seeing two therapists at the same time, or taking yet another acting class where the teacher tells you that you aren’t “doing the scene right”, it feels never ending.

In Organic Intelligence® (OI), we look at your physiology through a completely different lens. The reality is, you’ve probably already done all the work–and then some. You don’t need another task to perform, class to take, or mindfulness retreat to go on. And deep down, you probably agree.
​
​Your body isn't broken. Quite the opposite: it’s been working 24/7 to support you all along.
​
Instead of something else for your to-do list, I have a few simple offerings for you; an invitation to allow your system some possible moments of relief…

TO BE CONTINUED...​
