The power of adapting
I realized one of the reasons I love mentoring the younger generation is that I can see some of their struggles in what my journey has been. A 15 year old I'm working with was about to quit just because we can't meet in person. One of his goals is acting. I told him the truth about the business which is everything is virtual. Auditions, most classes with casting directors, most auditions for agencies. I don't like it either but I have to adapt. Had I not adapted I would've never met this amazing group of people who are shooting to make a difference, I would've closed so many doors in the movie industry and mentoring others would be more limiting since I would have to physically be there. The ones who adapt accomplish the most. I hope I was able to shine a light on him. I know he's capable of living his dream and I hope this can inspire someone who had to hear this. What's the biggest challenge for you in terms of adapting?

Hey 👋🏻
Hey I’m Naomi, Mum of five, 22, 19, 11 (going on 31), 9 and 7. I love supporting others through the celebrations and lows of parenting. There’s no rule book and boy do I know we can’t parent every child the same! Thanks for having me here look forward to sharing and caring.
Plan B. Ally or enemy?
We might have been told to have something to fall back on in case what we want to do doesn't work. When I worked on a job just to pay my basic needs, I'd come back tired not wanting to do more stuff. There would be times where I'd push myself to keep working as my intention had been to use my 9 to 5 to finance my 5 to 9, but now I'm working full time on my passion and I feel more focused to do the best I can do and keep improving. What's your view on having a plan B? What would you think could be more practical for your teen?
Living with purpose
Yesterday I spoke with someone who graduated from college just because they were told they “needed the degree.” Sometimes we follow paths that seem right but disconnect us from what we truly want. I’ve been there too, until I had to decide whether to keep postponing my purpose or finally take action. Do you notice signs that your son or daughter might be following external expectations rather than exploring what they genuinely want?
Is college still a necessity?
How essential would you consider college to be today? There's so much material online out there that some entrepreneurs live Gary Vee, Dan Martell, Simon Squibb are saying unless it's engineering, medicine, psychology, law or architecture everything is available online. What do you think?
