Celebrating 4 years of professionally believing in myself as a full time creative.

I quit my full time job teaching college Acting and Directing in Hollywood 4 years ago today. I had no plan past faith in myself and amazing support from my husband Kyle, family, and friends.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me as I navigate this wild world while becoming the most powerful performer and creative that I can be.

If you are in the messy middle with me, I'm encourage you to keep doing the things that light you up.

And if you feel pressured to "niche down" to focus on one thing, let me propose an alternative.

I am delighting in a portfolio creative career where in the last 4 years I've gotten to:

-Act across film, commercial, VO, audiobook, & vertical
-Sing shows in Vegas & rap for a horror film
-Direct, AD, & Produce with incredible people
-Write my first pilot and read it with a dreamy cast
-Film & photograph amazing events
-Host 45+ episodes of my Creator's Cafe podcast
-Create the 30-video series "Create an Camera"
-Lead convos about the creative industry on Reuters & podcasts
-Gather friends at dozens of Creator's Salons
-Provide Creative Direction for 4 scaling businesses
-Coach creatives and entrepreneurs on acting, writing, pitching, and creating an online on-camera presence
-Design 3 digital courses
-Mentor creatives and entrepreneurs
-Create content & strategy for entertainment, tech, nonprofits, healthcare, real estate, education, + more.

Every day is full and different.

And each area expands and supports the others.

Directing makes me a better actor. Acting makes me a better coach. I got my amazing agents at Sovereign from a podcast guest. A Creative Direction client came from a coaching client referral. A coaching client came from a coffee shop conversation with a producer while I was writing content.

I'm better at each creative aspect because they all give me experience from a new perspective.

I'm so grateful for everyone who has worked with me, created with me, hung out or commiserated with me, and referred me.

Let's keep playing and creating together 💙

xoxo,

Rest sweetly, dear Aunt Bonnie. I'm grateful for your love and introducing me to my adopted home of California. You and Uncle Charles helped me see how I could have a while different life.

Thank you for your kindness, your wit, your dry humor, and your commitment to your students and family. We"ll miss you! by @iamjessicapayne
