This week I am joined by the incredible Emilie Leyes, a NYC based actor, singer, and brain training and resilience specialist for performers.

There are so many avenues you can go down in the Performing Arts Industry that it can be easy to feel like you have to "fit" yourself in each one. But, what if I told you that by "fitting" yourself in the box you think they want you in, you're actually hurting your chances of being booked?Your energy is unique to you, but if you're tucking away the bits that make you unique and you're only showing what you think they want to see you're hiding the essence that is the missing piece to their puzzle.

Have you found that the "no"s are getting harder and harder to hear? Are you thinking that this should be getting easier since you've been auditioning for a while already? This week I am answering the question of how to make it easier and by the title you already know not caring isn't the answer. So many people think they just need to not care about the jobs, not care if they are being told no and not care if they don't get the callback they were hoping for. That's just not the answer because you're human not a robot! So what can you do instead so that it doesn't feel so heartbreaking every time? Listen and you'll find out!

In this Bonus Episode Susanne Puerschel and I are talking about our next topic for the Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop on February 28th. VALIDATIONWe're diving into why we chose this topic and our own experiences with Validation. As performing artists, we are taught to look outside of ourselves for validation not only for our art, but also for our worth. This, as I'm sure you can tell, is a problem because if we're always looking for other people to assure us we're on the right track, we'll never know how to trust ourself and make decisions from our gut. Join us at the next workshop on Monday February 28th at 12pm EST/ 9am PSThttps://www.eventcreate.com/e/choosingtoriseConnect with Rachel:Instagram: @rachel.josefina https://www.instagram.com/rachel.josefina/

Have you ever walked into the first day of rehearsals, a new dance class or even a group of friends and asked yourself "do I belong here?"Do you find yourself shapeshifting and changing who are you to fit in with the group that you're with?All of these things are symptoms of already deciding that you don't belong and feeling like you need to be part of the group rather than trusting that the unique combination of energy from each group is going to bring out the exact right and beautiful energy that is within you. This episode I am diving into the topic and showing you what to ask yourself instead of "do I belong" and "where do I fit in".

As artists it's so easy to feel pinned in as one thing or another. Flowing and pivoting within the arts is so normal, but I don't think it's talked about enough and therefore it may seem like you're not committed enough or like you aren't a real performer because you aren't focusing all of your time on one thing. That's why I'm so excited to have Claudia on the podcast this week!Claudia H. Stein (she/they) is a Mindset and Wellness Coach for dancers. They work with people of all ages to cultivate confidence and balance in themselves so they can show up authentically on and off stage!

The Next Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop is happening January 17th and we are diving into POWER! When Susanne brought this up to me she expressed how it wasn't until she realized that power meant something bad to her that it made sense why she had been pushing it away. As I began to think about it I too had some negative experiences with power and it was that, that was stopping both of us from claiming our personal power. This is exactly why we want to have an entire workshop on it and in this episode we are giving you just a taste of what we will be bringing to this incredible workshop! If what Susanne and I talked about in this episode resonated with you, the Choosing to Rise Workshop is exactly the right place for you!

When talking about manifestation it's so easy to get caught up in where you want to go. You have goals and dreams that you are achieving and you have a life that you are creating, but what about your life right now? Are you finding yourself just going through the motions? Have you felt like you're acting on auto pilot? Are you an active participant in your own life or are you just putting your head down, shutting the world out and chasing your goals? This week I am diving into why it is so important to participate in the now and how you can do that. I am also talking about how when you find yourself wanting to isolate to "protect" your energy, you may actually be participating less in your life. The next Choosing to Rise Artist Workshop is Monday January 17th, 2022 at 11am ET!
