We've all been convinced from movies and media that we must CHASE OUR DREAMS and it will ALL WORK OUT! But what happens when you've given it everything you've got and it really hasn't worked out anything like what you were dreaming of?
Today on the show I have Illustrator and YouTube Anoosha Syed. Take one look at Anoosha's career illustrating for mega clients like Netflix and Disney, illustrating over 25 picture books and now bringing out a kids book she's also AUTHORED and it's easy to assume she is truly LIVING THE DREAM! But Anoosha wouldn't say that's exactly the case.
In this episode she shares why this life wasn't really her dream at all, but also why that letting go of her dreams was essential to building the life she loves. If you are sick and tired of chasing your creative dreams to no avail, you gotta check out this episode for how to know when to quit, and how to find a path forward to a life that might even be better than any you could dream up!
