60 - Own Your Identity & Handling Rejection w/ actress Gabbie David pt. 1

"To be yourself in a world that’s constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Finding  ourselves is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding journeys we can go on. The process of self discovery is often long and filled with twists and turns, but the outcome will set you up for a lifetime of happiness and growth.

This week's guest is Gabbie David. Gabbie graduated from the University of Oklahoma, where she was the first Asian actress accepted into the OU School of Drama. While there, she starred in numerous plays and began starring in commercials with the Oklahoma City Thunder professional basketball team, NBC Universal, and various movies on Lifetime network. She is currently a professional actress currently pursuing her dreams while living in LA.

Throughout this episode we dive into why you need to be fully committed to your dreams if you want them to become reality, the importance of being able to find yourself and be crystal clear on who you are before deciding the path you want to take, why it’s more important that you act towards your goals than how fast you get there. We also cover 3 life lessons acting has taught Gabbie that you can apply to your life, how comparison can derail you if you let it, how to handle rejection , how important self talk is to your mental health and how you can center yourself when you feel overwhelmed or lost!

Make sure to tune in next week for part two of our conversation where we dive deeper into Gabbie's experiences as an actress, how to handle uncertainty, how to build self confidence and deal with peer pressure, the skills you need to captivate an audience, and so much more.
