    4.17 Embracing the Break! SZN 4 FINALE!

    We did it! We're here! It's the SEASON 4 FINALE!! Yes, yes DON'T WORRY! We WILL be coming back for Season 5 in the New Year, and maybe a Bonus episode on the way before then ;) While we're lining up our fabulous guests for this next season and already in the thick of the holiday season, today we talk about EMBRACING THE BREAK. How to keep our mind from spiraling as the industry slows down for the holidays and as we review our goals from this past year, and how to celebrate how far we've come, even if it's just existing in this moment and knowing we will forge ahead. Of course we're no therapists, we're just sharing our thoughts on what has worked for us during personal and professional breaks, and since it's the finale episode... over a glass or two of wine.

    Compton born and raised, SAG member for over two decades, and the embodiment of all the positive tips we’ve said on this podcast about building a lasting career as a creative, we have on the pod today Actress, Director, and Educator CHARLOTTE WILLIAMS ROBERTS!! So much learning, so many giggles. One of our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PEOPLE and the reason we met and Old Girls Entertainment became a thing is on the pod today, we talk with Charlotte all about her start in theatre through the Church as a PK (Pastor’s Kid), her first film that made her a SAG-AFTRA member at the age of 7, going to Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA), getting her BFA at CSUF (with Monique), being in the industry, and sharing her love for art with the younger generation. We deep dive into all the multi-layers that have gone into her journey like how school can establish your work ethic and a foundation for other aspects of the industry other than acting, the importance of the business side of your artistry and some tips on how and where to learn that, moving from having a multitude of part time side jobs to the decision to teach full time in addition to her acting career, teaching vs. coaching, teaching connection for a new generation raised in technology, and her self-care routine that has been a game changer in her day… I know it’s a lot and there's even more!

    4.10 A Pep Talk... Without Toxic Positivity

    We feel it, and I bet you are feeling it too. The weight of the world is HEAVY right now. It's been heavy. Whenever we turn on the news, scroll on our phones, or literally engage with anyone, it feels like it's hard to keep your head above the onslaught of pain, destruction, and for lack of better words... bad vibes out there. On top of the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, we are slogging through trying to make art in this day and age, and honey, it ain't easy. So how to we move forward? How to we still fulfill our creative selves when we feel unmotivated in it's outcome? That's what we, your Old Girls Jess & Mo, talk about on the pod today. We are not therapists... or trained mental health professionals....by ANY means. We put this episode together because as artists, we often hold a light up to show, illuminate, or distract us from society, and it's really taking a toll mentally and emotionally for us personally to navigate. So we pose some coping strategies that have helped us move the needle personally and creativity to keep THE DREAM alive like... - Framing your current “nothing” into something - Making lists that actually serve you in a more inspirational and intentional way - When to confide in whom to best serve and protect you in those low or vulnerable moments If you have any other helpful tips, we'd LOVE to hear them and share with our community. Feel free to DM us on Instagram or TikTok, or send us an email at getsetpodcast@gmail.com And don't forget to FOLLOW, RATE, & REVIEW this podcast so we can reach more creatives and bring you more amazing guests!! For more exclusive content join our creatives community over on Patreon at patreon.com/OldGirlsEntertainment Seriously much love to you all!! Keep going, keep bringing that light, and don't forget to nurture yourself, whatever that means to you. 3 AND ALSO... IT'S NOVEMBER 3RD!! Which means you have until tomorrow to VOTE!! So... DO THAT! PLEASE!! We'll be back with another great guest next Monday!! Now Go GET SET!!! xoxo Your Old Girls, Jessica Payne @jesschristeen11⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Monique Schwaneman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @moniqueschwaneman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
