A Renaissance Woman.
I have struggled a lot with the fact that I have so many passions and interests. I've found myself at dinner parties when someone asks "What do you do?" and I feel totally conflicted in my response. Sometimes I say "I'm a Mom" and sometimes "I'm an actress and musician" and usually I say "I'm a producer and musician and mom" which gets a lot of eye rolling. Once I even tried to get it all in and mumbled frantically "I'm a mom and musician. I was an actress, hahha oh my god-WAS! I mean... of course I still am! I always will be. Oh.. I'm a producer too and...a writer." I could see that I had lost that person halfway through my rant and they basically just thought I was a dumb ass.
I was told once by a former life coach, that I had to choose one thing. MAX two. He was pretty firm about it. "No one will take you seriously if you say you do like five things," he laughed.
But, the truth is, I really truly AM all of these things. I love them all with a passion and I have worked on every creative endeavor I pursue with commitment. When I recently wrote the article for motherly, my friend posted the best compliment ever: " You are a modern day Renaissance Woman!" I have felt like maybe being a jack of creative trades could be flighty and unfocused, but the truth is, as early as I can remember, writing, music, acting and making theater and film have always been my interests. I don't know how to group all my loves into one title, but my goal in life is to continue being creative, learning and exploring. So next time someone asks what I do, I guess my answer will be..." I'm a Renaissance Woman." :)
