  • Dreams Achieved
    Sep 13 2025

    What a time to reunite and check-in with some new found, but greatly cherished friends of mine! On this weeks episode of A Brand New Take, we have not one, but two guests on to talk about making their dreams a reality, the work that goes in, and the fun that comes out. We discuss how to balance it all, what they would change, and what they want to keep with them from their first professional contract! Sarah and Kaely are forces to be reckoned with and I am honored they took the time to come on and talk about our time together, and their time moving forward in their profession!

    Check out their work;

  • For all my "Late Bloomers" ... You're not late!
    Sep 5 2025

    Dancing, stunts, acting... wow "You must have been doing this your whole life!"

    No, I wasn't in the studio at 3 years old, and I wasn't dancing before I could walk. That didn't stop the passion, the persistence, or the practice I put into my goals and dreams to make them a reality. This episode is for those that maybe joined a little late. In whatever fashion that could be. Maybe you weren't with the trend, with your "class" or simply one of the outliers in your field. Guess what... you're still in the field! There's a lane for you and this is just ONE perspective of how you're never late to the game.

    Enjoy!

  • It Will Never Happen Again
    Aug 29 2025

    Welcome back to another episode of A Brand New Take!!

    Those moments that are so special, so memorable, and so unique, will in fact... never happen again. THAT is the joy of those times. We all know this, but how often do we really think about this as we move into our next adventures, classes, chapters, etc. This week we take a look at some key events that reminded me to cherish what's happening WHEN it happens and that those moments will never happen again like that. So hold them close, and love what they brought you, or taught you.

  • WHAT A SURPRISE! Feat. Gigi Santos
    Aug 15 2025

    One of the greatest surprises of the Summer! My dear friend Gigi stops by to talk life, music, meaning, and of course reminisce on times that have made us so close. Yet another Marvel Universe Live castmate turned life-long friend, we have a discussion about silver linings, and maybe the fact that we didn't have to experience EVERYTHING to be where we are.

    A stunt-woman, an actress, a singer, a friend... I'm honored to have shared the mic with such an iconic and impactful human! Enjoy!

  • 3 Questions of Success
    Aug 8 2025

    Welcome back!


    This week we dive into a "checklist" of sorts to measure the ever changing concept of success. A three question prompt that I've used for years when teaching, now applied to this crazy little thing called life. Whether it's a new project, a class, or a new job completely, asking these questions will help you reflect on your achievements and how you better suited than you think when it all comes to a close. A Brand New Take on how we can mark our success even knowing we may want more than what that moment brought.

    1. Did you get one thing right?

    2. Was there something that challenged you?

    3. Did you laugh or smile at least once?

    Keep your eyes and ears peeled for a special episode with a brand new guest coming soon!

  • Leaving the Good to Make Room for the Great
    Jul 25 2025

    Welcome Back!

    This week's episode, we are talking about the risk and reward of leaving the Good to make room for the Great! We've all been there. Decisions that cause us to leave behind something that may be serving us well in the moment. Knowing there's something more, or a calling that we need to pursue, what kind of courage does it take to step away and not only hope, but work for something better? What kind of "better" will we find? Join this Brand New Take on leaving the Good to make room for the Great and seeing just what magic awaits on the other side!

  • Make the Molehill a Mountain
    Jul 18 2025

    What if... for a second, we let the little things matter. What if we CHOSE how we let the little moments consume us? This week on A Brand New Take, we take a new perspective on making mountains out of molehills. We look at shifting the focus on the good, and letting it allow room for things to be great. We look at the ripple effect that goes into, and comes out of those small every day gestures of kindness that may go overlooked. This week, we take a look at loving the little things, and making the most out of the moment. A Brand New take on turning those molehills into mountains.
