#43 Build Confidence To Follow Dreams in LA, With Award-Winning Director, Alexandrina André
If you've ever felt a lack of confidence to pursue your dreams, or keep listening to the voices that tell you you won't succeed in realizing your goals then this conversation is for you. My friend Drina is a Telly Award-winning director, is very accomplished, but her past kept getting in the way of her going after her biggest dream: To write a children's book. Is it really time and money that get in the way of us following our dreams? Or is it a narrative and identity that we've bought into? Alexandrina talks about the process of writing and releasing her first children's book, 'The Pranky Monkey'. We talk about the realities of living and being a creative in Los Angeles, revealing the true essence of the city and the necessary healing journey tied to pursuing your dreams here. Tears are shed. Laughter is shared. This conversations offers a glance into the commingled world of creativity and healing.
