In this episode, I dive into my personal journey of rediscovering acting after a 16-year hiatus. Becoming a mother shifted my priorities and led me down various creative paths, from blogging to painting, and even into jewelry and interior design. Yet, none of these pursuits quite filled the void left by acting. It took a serendipitous acting workshop to rekindle my passion for acting, prompting me to navigate the challenges of reestablishing a film career, especially as an American in Germany. I share my insights from this experience, emphasizing the value of holding onto dreams regardless of age, the necessity of continuous self-improvement, and the importance of fostering industry connections. Join me as I reflect on this journey back into the life of an actress, offering lessons that resonate with actors looking to reconnect with their passions.
