Stop hiding your process! 🚀
Kebrasca's advice for podcast guest Shonee can be applied to anyone in almost any industry.

Your journey is the bridge to building a loyal community before you even launch. Don't just show the result, show the world the 'Marvel' of how you build it.

Cheers SPA WEEKEND 🎬🧖🏾‍♀️🥂 My body clocked in so @michellebuteau ‘s body didn’t have to 😂💀

I had the absolute privilege of stunt doubling the brilliant Michelle as one of the leads in SPA WEEKEND from jumping out of golf buggy’s before it went over a cliff, landing heavy and car speeding in the name of cinema 🔥

Huge love to our fearless stunt coordinator @paulhalfy somehow made professional speeding, drifting and public damage feel like a SEND IT exercise. To my three ladies @maddisonmellers @brianna_ferguson @nandalie_stunts I was in awe of you! So grateful to have shared that time with you all on set 🩷 and huge shout out to the rest of the stunties! The bruises may fade, but the incriminating footage of our 🍑🐈’s is forever 😂

Go see @spaweekendmovie in cinemas now! It’s the perfect mum-com, comedy and ladies’ night movie, so grab your girls or ya mans, get ya snacks and go watch these women descend into chaos while the rest of us quietly destroy our bodies on their behalf. 😂💅🏽 #spaweekend #film #stunts

For Shonee winning the award for Screen Professional of the Year was bigger than just her. It was about opening the door for other people from the Pacifica community who are often underrepresented in that space.

'My worth isn't tied to being unbreakable.'

Very wise words from Shonee Samia - survivor of not one but two brain tumours.

She reminds us that courage comes down to living and getting the most out of life, not just making it through!
