When I first moved to Los Angeles, I was 23. I wanted to get a record deal. And that's a whole fun journey. I did get a record deal. I was signed to Interscope. I got dropped from Interscope. I got signed to Atlantic. I got dropped from Atlantic. I wound up writing music for TV shows and films for 10 years, like Pretty Little Liars and Criminal Minds, and Switched at Birth and McDonald's commercials. And I made a career out of that. And that was what I thought was going to be like it for me. And I had a couple of my Two first daughters at the time. And then I wound up actually continuing to follow the breadcrumbs. And I, my whole world opened up so much more than I ever thought. And I started a podcast and wrote books and all that stuff.
But when I was first in LA, I didn't have a trust fund. My parents are divorced. My mom was a single mom. We lived in an apartment growing up with very, very little. I, you know, slept in the living room and had to work a couple of jobs just to kind of have enough money to pay for lunch. School, you know, that kind of a thing. No big deal, but like it wasn't a silver spoon kind of a life. And um, when I was in LA, I got my, you know, whatever job I could get to pay my bills and I had my roommate and everything. And I would take $200. That's a lot of money for me when I was 24 years old. And I would take $200 and I would spend it to go to the peninsula and go to the spa at this beautiful. Five-star hotel in Beverly Hills.
And I knew that if you bought this massage, you had access to the spa for as man as long as you wanted. So I was like, you know what? That's such a great way to spend the day. Because I'll go get a massage and then I'll spend an hour like in the steam room. And then afterwards, I'll go in the sauna and I'll use those lavender icy towels with the eucalyptus. And my friends would say to me, You should be careful, like that's so much money, you can't really. Afford that. And I would say, like, I can't afford not to do that. That day would give me so much. The way I would expand, the way I would feel, the way I would start to allow more of what's possible to seep in, the way I would start to align with that the amount of things that would happen afterwards were just giant.
And it's always been that way. Like you always go first. First, right? We go first. We cosign scarcity or possibility. And so I was always like, I would go first when it came to abundance. When when I started my podcast, like I didn't think What's going to be the ROI? How fast are people going to listen? It was just like, I'm doing this. End of story. So it will be. And then, yeah, for every 16 people in the beginning I asked to be on, there will only be one person who said yes. But it didn't matter. And it was the same thing with writing music. When I got dropped from the label, I had a day job for a couple of years. And I thought, oh, this is what I have to do because my dream didn't work out and I have to be practical and get a job.
But I was so unhappy. And finally one day I was looking at myself in the elevator doors. And I saw myself wearing high heels and like a double-breasted pantsuit.
