The Day I Almost Quit Hollywood (And How I Bounced Back)

Good morning, fellow artists! I love that my Hollywood industry blog allows me to share not only my successes but also my challenges. By being open, I hope my vulnerability and tools can inspire others to move forward when facing obstacles.

On October 20th, 2025, I almost allowed K-SHIT FM to persuade me to quit the entertainment business. I was like, “I’m done. I’m out of here. I quit. F**k this.” One of my mentors, Richard Lawson, teaches us that K-SHIT FM is the detrimental radio station that plays loudly during times of doubt, the unknown, or insecurity. K-SHIT FM plays those voices of doubt, negativity, and criticism that make us feel less than and unworthy. K-SHIT FM weakens you. It makes you second-guess and doubt yourself. Fortunately, I am blessed to have years of wonderful training that allowed me to pivot and change the channel to K-ART FM. Keep reading below 🙂

K-ART FM features positive affirmations, wins, and tools that help reinforce my unique, talented, and wonderful qualities. I turned up the volume on K-ART FM by executing the very thing that I knew would get me back on track: CAREER ADMINISTRATION. Keep reading below 🙂

In the weeks that followed, I immersed myself in career administration. I felt empowered and alive. I felt connected to my artistry again. For example, I turned to my relationship map and supported individuals and their artistic endeavors. I posted past artistic works on social media (and in the process, I realized how diverse my portfolio was, from comedy to horror; from working with established actors to new actors; from indie films to studio films). I previously mentioned that on September 15th, 2025, I decided to revisit another feature film script to rewrite the action lines into more concise, active descriptions. I have since completed doing this. I continued attending my career administration meetings. I emailed my agent. I kept working on my in-person audition for class. I brought in that audition on October 30th, 2025, and had one of the BIGGEST wins with it. Richard opened it up to the class for feedback and comments. This win also led to a bigger conversation where Richard said I have all the tools needed to have the career I want, and what it’s going to take to finally manifest it at the highest level possible. Since that conversation, I identified three areas in my artistic arsenal that need strengthening. I started working on my next assignment for class: an in-person shoot from “The English Teacher” TV series. Keep reading below 🙂

The next step is to celebrate all of these administrative wins! Keep reading below 🙂

I am grateful to know when I am in K-SHIT FM land and how to utilize tools to get out of there. I hope my actions above give you some ideas on how to combat K-SHIT FM and get into K-ART FM. It’s all about taking causative action that reconnects you to who you are and what you’re about. Keep reading below 🙂

See you next week!
