Instagram post 17845052368783196 It's so easy to just keep going and going and going! We all have goals, and yes, we want to make progress, but do you also take time to check out how far you've made it?⁠
⁠
And of course, no one "makes it" alone. Who was the last person you thanked, either for their support, their advice, their cheerleading, or their butt-kicking?⁠
⁠
Tag someone who has helped you or who has come a long way (and would appreciate the reminder)!⁠
⁠
(and thanks to @JeanneSak in ep 22 for a great reminder! hear more - LINK IN BIO!)⁠

Instagram post 17971465510292187 Wishing a wonderful birthday to FRANCIS GUINAN (ep 14), and may there be many more!⁠
⁠
In fact, it's a BIRTHDAY OPENING NIGHT for Francis, in "Rutherford and Son" @TimelineTheatre in Chicago! ⁠
⁠
Francis was also recently nominated for a London @evening.standard Award for Best Actor in "Downstate" - the show started @Steppenwolfthtr and had a run @NationalTheatre!⁠
⁠
He's in good company in that category, alongside his co-star K. Todd Freeman, and a few actors you also might have seen: Tom Hiddleston, Andrew Scott, and Wendell Pierce! Congrats Francis!⁠

Instagram post 17845025812777014 Perhaps you discovered your passion for acting later in life, or maybe you didn’t get the early start on this career you think you need—our guest today was in the exact same spot, and she still pursued it and has experienced quite a bit of success!⁠
⁠
Ep 22 with Jeanne Sakata, @jeannesak, is out (LINK IN BIO!) - a working actor for 30+ years, we have a fantastic chat about the joy of discovery (and research), the eagerness to work, redemptive writing (especially with her play Hold These Truths, now @sandiegorepertorytheatre), and more!⁠
⁠
Just a bit of what we cover in this episode with Jeanne:⁠
⁠
- Growing up on a lettuce farm right near the railroad tracks⁠
- Thinking she would be a journalist and majoring in English at UCLA⁠
- How acting and therapy both came into her life at the same time⁠
- How the Spanish language opened her eyes to working on Shakespeare⁠
- Her deep need to tell Gordon’s story based on her own family’s history⁠
- How her marriage and relationship has lasted over 40 years—and so much more!⁠
⁠
She has such a great attitude toward celebrating your successes, allowing for flow, and being open to multiple approaches!⁠
