Hello magical ones, today’s read is all about the meaning that we give to experiences and outcomes – in the studio, in the audition room, on the stage and beyond.
Whatever happened in the audition, at your full time course today, or last week or 3 years ago, whatever the result was of that casting, or juuuuuust missing out on that contract offer…
What are you making it mean?
This is what makes all the difference. If we allow shame to grow in silence, or our confidence to plummet, it affects how we move through the world and what we manifest in our career, especially in terms of booking work or aligning with our dream jobs.
Think about how different our energy field feels to others when we feel sooo good in our own skin and confident in our abilities, vs feeling low-level shame, anxiety and doubt in ourselves and in what we bring to the table.
And these feelings are completely valid and normal after experiencing a rejection, making a mistake or experiencing an unexpected outcome etc
Once we’ve honoured any feelings that have come up, processed them and loved ourselves through it, it’s time to take our power back, magical one.
The Universe is responding to YOUR energetic decision.
You, ultimately, decide what it means. And the Universe rearranges accordingly.
THIS is the skill. The energetic mastery that is being asked of you.
Whatever happens, decide that you’re perfectly on track for what you desire.
Decide that what happened doesn’t mean anything about where you’re going.
Decide that it is all adding up perfectly.
EVEN when you’re experiencing no after no, when you’re self belief is being knocked around and you feel the size of an ant after an audition, or when you compare yourself to your peers who may be thriving job after job right now.
Don’t let ANY of it mean that you’re not on track for what YOU want.
Hold and feel the frequency in your body of: it’s all adding up perfectly for you, until it does.
Your greatness is SO much bigger than any of your wobbles.
I have decided that it didn’t mean anything about me living my dreams and have summoned the feelings of me being perfectly on track when:
-I didn’t book a dance contract in my first 8 months out of full time training, whilst seeing SO many of my peers working & thriving
-I fell over in audition and nearly broke my wrist.
(I was then offered one of my DREAM contracts a few weeks later)
-when I got cut right in the last round for a contract I really desired
(I went to the company’s audition for another role the next day, was offered the contract a few months later and extended for 3 years)
-when another job I deeply desired looked like it was going ahead but then lost momentum and went quiet for 6+ months and I ultimately chose to surrender it
(I was then booked on it the year after, it came back into my world right when it was meant to)
AND I have received & performed on all of my dream contracts to date, over 10 years as dominantly a full time performer, in shows that have lit me up, travelling the world.
Your energetic decision is POWERFUL & the Universe is lovingly waiting for you to act like it
As much as we build skills in the studio, building our inner game skills is where our energetic power and our thriving is.
My 3 step process for transmuting shame/ any negative meaning our brain has assigned, into neutrality, clarity and empowerment:
- Observe and honour your feelings, give yourself deep compassion for what you’ve experienced, give yourself a hug.
- Ask yourself, what if this isn’t about me? What if there are other factors at play? That have nothing to do with me or my performing? What if this situation is actually lining me up perfectly for what I desire, it’s just looking different to how I thought it would?
- Decide what it means for you – make your energetic decision bold and clear. It’s ultimately our responsibility to decide that nothing means that we can’t have the desires of our heart. No one can do this for us, and the Universe is listening and ready to meet us.

Much love xx
