You're Not Crazy! A pep talk for Career Off-roaders

The older I get, the more I start to identify with the crazy heroines of Holiday RomComs that kidnap, bribe, or hire a man to come home with them for the holidys.

Connecting with my extended family can feel like an Artistic Career report card, and since the markers I hold myself to for success are quite a bit different from what most people look for in success, it feels like a report card filled with F’s.

So I wanted to make a video filled with encouragement and the tips and tricks I’m using this year to honor my creative core and help focus on the love and the good memories I’d rather be making.

Does visiting your family feel a little like getting an "artistic career" report card? One that you always seem to be failing? I hear you, and I'm right there with you. This year is the first year I really feel like I can call myself "successful" and it has taken 8 years to get here!

Do you go home for the Holidays? Do you have advice or tricks that you’ve used to enjoy the season instead of getting caught up in shame and insecurity?
