    Breaking Barriers in Film with George Gomez, FMLA

    Send us a text What does it take to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the entertainment industry while staying true to your cultural roots and creative vision? In this captivating conversation, writer-filmmaker George Gomez reveals the unexpected journey that began with his graduation from film school during the 2020 pandemic shutdown and led to work with major studios like Netflix, Hulu, and NBC Universal. With remarkable candor, George shares how his Mexican-American heritage and indigenous roots from the Yucatan peninsula have shaped his storytelling approach and creative philosophy. "There are layers within those layers," he explains, discussing how the rich diversity within broader cultural categories often goes unrecognized in mainstream media. His work with New Filmmakers LA (NFMLA) now focuses on amplifying these overlooked voices and perspectives. The most powerful moments come when George addresses the mental challenges faced by creatives—from comparison and imposter syndrome to handling rejection. "Comparison is the thief of joy," he reminds us, offering practical advice for maintaining creative balance through journaling, hobbies, and simply giving yourself grace. His insights on patience and sacrifice ring especially true: "Sometimes certain circumstances might suck...but the fact that you're doing it is an achievement in itself." Whether discussing the profound impact of documentary filmmaking, the importance of embracing other cultures, or the balance between authenticity and growth, George delivers wisdom that transcends the entertainment industry. His thoughtful reflections on finding your voice amid the noise of Hollywood remind us that success isn't measured by timeline, but by staying true to your unique perspective and cultural heritage. Dive into this episode to discover why your story matters, how to protect your creative vision while still evolving, and practical pathways to connect with organizations like NFMLA that can help bring your authentic voice to audiences hungry for fresh perspectives.

    The Actor's Guide to Self-Commitment: Boundaries, Self-Care, and Compassion

    Send us a text Ever wonder why some artists thrive while others struggle, despite equal talent? The secret lies not in relentless hustle, but in something far more fundamental: genuine self-commitment. In this deeply personal episode, Amanda and Janelle reveal how committing to yourself transforms both your creative output and emotional wellbeing. Through vulnerable stories of their own journeys, they demonstrate how honoring their needs directly led to booking roles—sometimes within 48 hours of making this powerful shift. The hosts explore three essential tools that have revolutionized their approach to the entertainment industry. First, they unpack the transformative power of boundaries, sharing how setting limits with both yourself and others creates the fertile ground where creativity flourishes. Amanda reveals how family expectations nearly derailed her authentic path, while Janelle discusses overcoming her reluctance to ask for help. Self-care emerges as the second vital component, redefined beyond indulgence into intentional practices that sustain creative energy. Janelle's breakthrough moment came when she learned to "slow down to speed up," allowing rest before an audition rather than pushing through exhaustion—a choice that directly led to booking work. Similarly, Amanda shares how honoring her genuine joy in film and networking energized her creative practice. Perhaps most powerfully, they explore self-compassion as the antidote to an industry built on rejection. Through honest conversations about comparison, timing, and trust, they offer a refreshing perspective: "What's yours is yours. No one can take what is meant for you." Whether you're fighting creative burnout, navigating rejection, or simply feeling disconnected from your artistic purpose, this episode provides actionable wisdom for reclaiming your power and joy. Join us to discover how committing to yourself might be the missing piece in your creative puzzle.

    Starting Anew: Aries Season Birthday Special

    Send us a text What if you never have to start over again? What if, instead, you're always starting anew with all your wisdom, experience, and resilience already built in? As we celebrate our birthdays this April, we're reflecting on the powerful distinction between starting over and starting anew. The past 365 days have taught us that nothing is wasted—not our pain, doubts, fears, or failures. Every experience prepares us for the next version of ourselves. Janelle shares how the pandemic's impact on her modeling career led her to rediscover her passion for teaching and coaching. What seemed like a setback became the catalyst for this podcast and a thriving coaching practice. Meanwhile, Amanda reveals her journey moving from New York to LA and how she learned that leaving her comfort zone didn't mean leaving behind her foundation—it meant building upon it. We explore the three pillars of resilience that make fresh starts possible: emotional regulation, growth mindset, and purpose. These aren't just abstract concepts—they're practical skills that allow you to face challenges without being defined by them. Our favorite insight? Your purpose often springs from what you lacked or needed most as a child and learned to give yourself. Whether you're contemplating a major life change, recovering from a setback, or simply feeling stuck, this episode will help you recognize your inherent capability to evolve without erasing your past. We share practical tools including a powerful emotional clearing technique and three questions to connect with your higher self. Join us for this birthday reflection and leave with the understanding that every day offers a chance to begin anew. What will you do with your next 365 days?
