We break down the real survival guide to adulthood by talkin acting, imposter syndrome, and the industry lessons we wish we’d learned sooner, from child stardom to navigating authenticity in a capitalist media machine. We get honest about personal growth, sobriety, mental health, self-perception, and how preparation, feedback, and balance shape both our personal life and professional life. We unpack the hype and tension around media coverage, gambling culture, and big public events, then lighten things up by revealing our favorite animals and the animal traits that reflect how we see ourselves, how we want to be seen, and how we actually show up. We close with community engagement, listener participation, and a reminder that planning, intuition, and slowing down matter just as much as ambition when you’re trying to grow without losing yourself.
