    Vulnerable EP22: Actress Susie Abromeit Gets Vulnerable

    CW: This conversation covers some of the darker side of the film and music industries. Today my guest is actress, writer, and producer - Susie Abromeit. Susie is one of those extremely talented individuals that has been pursuing her passions her entire life! In this episode, Susie and I journey through her parent's history to being a top-ranked tennis player (#6 in the US) by the age of 16 to her singing career to her making an impact on-camera acting and producing. Susie is most known for her role in Jessica Jones. She currently has a 4 picture deal with GAC Family. What I appreciated the most about this conversation with Susie is that despite navigating many performance-based industries- tennis, music, modeling, and film, she knows herself. She is extremely self-aware but also confident in who she is. We talk about how manifesting our dreams, manipulative power dynamics in the music and film industry, the value of being in nature and taking care of your mental health and more. Susie's honesty is refreshing. I hope you enjoy this conversation. You can follow Susie @susieabromeit on Instagram and Twitter.

    REWIND: Vulnerable EP06: Jerry Maguire Actor Jonathan Lipnicki Gets Vulnerable

    *Vulnerable Rewind Today on Vulnerable, I sit down with the incredibly talented actor and producer Jonathan Lipnicki. You may remember him from films such as Jerry Maguire, Stuart Little, Little Vampire, and more. Jonathan gets SO real with me and Brendan (AKA My husband) about the struggles of growing up extremely famous and navigating becoming an adult. With the stereotype that follows child actors, Jonathan was very cautious not to make mistakes as a young adult. Now that he’s in his 30s, he reflects on how going to therapy, surrounding himself with positive and real friends, and becoming a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have kept him grounded. Jonathan is passionate about allowing yourself to grow, and through this lens, he applies the tenets of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in everyday life and is working with a mental strength coach. Jonathan also details that he felt as if he wasn’t a good actor for a period in his life. He took acting classes and now feels more prepared to take on new roles. Jonathan also shares about his community activism due to the rise of antisemitic violence in LA. Jonathan and a community of like-minded individuals have been escorting families and individuals to the synagogue. Synagogue members have labeled them the Shabbat Angels. This episode highlights how you always have room to grow as a human being and help the people around you in your community. It is worth your time and effort.
