Today, I want to talk about something I’ve wanted to share for a while—why I decided to retire from acting. On this podcast, I ask other actors and artists to come on and be vulnerable. I invite them to share their stories and dig deep with me. So it’s only fair that I do that myself. In this episode, I’m sharing my experiences as a commercial and theater actor—as a mom and an actress—and what ultimately led me to retire from the stage. Join me for this raw solo conversation, and please let me know if there’s anything from my story you can relate to. I’d love to hear from you!

In this episode, you will:

  1. Discover why I decided to retire from acting.
  2. Uncover what those final modeling and acting experiences were like for me.
  3. Learn what plans I have—including if I have plans to get on stage again.
