Todayâs podcast episode carries a message that I KNOW youâll relate to from an actress, youâll probably recognize. A lot of people think that actors with BIG Network TV credits have it easy. And donât get me wrong, credits can help â but even Viola Davis and Olivia Colman worry about where theyâre gonna get their next job.
Sarah Utterback had an epic Recurring Role as Nurse Olivia on Greyâs Anatomy â 19 episodes in Shondaland⌠so youâd think she'd hit the tipping point. She was working & making opportunities for herself â sheâs one of the founding members of Los Angelesâ critically-acclaimed, Ovation Award-winning IAMA Theatre Company.Â
When you meet Sarah youâll fall in love with her (just like I did) â sheâs got a warm voice and easy smile â you could easily see her take any of Jessica Chastainâs roles or play Kristen Bellâs sister on The Good Place.
But when we met, Sarah was in THE BAD PLACE.
âŚshe didnât have an agentâŚ
âŚshe was jaded about the biznizâŚ
âŚand in her own words, she was âletting some shadowy storiesâ run the showâŚ
In todayâs episode of the podcast she tells you first-hand how thereâs a perversely satisfying fast-food feel-good self-righteousness when you judge the bizniz and yourself. This episode doesnât sugarcoat it: Icky, shadowy stuff is gonna come up, AND you have a choice. You can see those feelings as: permission to back off from your purpose and stop showing up OR an opportunity to slow down and DO THE WORK to reveal the truth of who you are so you can attract the attention youâre ready for.
Sarah did the work and it worked.Â
GOOD SPOILER ALERT Sarah got 35 OFFERS for representation â plus 10 more reps said "If after all your meetings, you're still looking, please reach out.â
