DJ, model, actress, and entrepreneur Colleen Shannon has spent two decades building a career most people would call impossible to categorize — and she's not apologizing for it. Christopher and Natalie dig into what it takes to reinvent yourself in public, from playing to crowds of ten to headlining for thousands, and why Colleen sat on dozens of unreleased tracks before dropping her new single, Dance for Life — which just cracked the Apple Music Top 20. Colleen opens up about the manifestation practices that shaped her career long before the accolades showed up, and how motherhood changed her pace. Natalie brings her own story of visibility and nervous system regulation into the mix. If you've ever felt like being good at more than one thing worked against you, this episode makes the case that your range is your edge. Also in this episode: her shoot with Bruce Weber, her upcoming Beverly Hills event, her Goddess Noir release, and why she plants seeds instead of forcing outcomes.
