Gilda Graham: The Hero‘s Journey

<p>Gilda Graham is an actor, screenwriter and Emmy-nominated producer. She also helps others navigate the stressful nature of the film and television industry through her coaching program, "The Hero's Journey," in which she helps people write their own scripts by figuring out where they are now, where they want to be, and guiding them on their path to get there.</p> <p>In this episode, we discuss her passion for the film industry, and why she had to pursue that career path, even if it wasn't what her family wanted for her. Her journey, like the journey many creatives take, has taken many twists and turns along the way, but they all led her to the place she is right now - exactly where she's meant to be.</p> <p>Gilda explains the importance of understanding and managing your finances so you can afford the freedom to say no to jobs you don't want and focus on the ones you're passionate about (spoiler alert: you don't need to make a ton of money to be money smart).</p> <p>We talk a lot about trust - trusting yourself, the people you hire, and the people you work with, and also trusting that life will take you where you're meant to go, even if it happens slower than you might like. We also touch on the importance of avoiding burnout by taking breaks, honoring your visions, and finding a few minutes each day to do something healthy for your mind.</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Gilda: <a href='https://www.gildagraham.com/'>https://www.gildagraham.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/miss_ggraham/'>@miss_ggraham</a></p> <p>Twitter <a href='https://twitter.com/gildagraham'>@gildagraham</a></p> <p>YouTube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXTgk_yxX7qzEI2F6T6L7dw'>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXTgk_yxX7qzEI2F6T6L7dw</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with me on your favorite platform: <a href='https://pods.link/aardvarkgirl'>https://pods.link/aardvarkgirl</a></p> <p>--</p> <p>00:18 I've always wanted to go into the film industry.
