In the past, it would take some time before I realized I worried myself into a whirlwind and would hardly be able to answer a question or strike up a conversation even though I like to.

We know about Imposter Syndrome: You’re sitting in a room full of professionals and let doubt seep into your psyche. You slowly talk yourself out of being effective and prevent yourself from shining through. Before you know it you haven’t been listening and missed a bunch of important moments and opportunities to contribute to solutions.

So, working the mind-shift exercises and cycling through the things we’ve learned in the modules has quickly taught me how to kick the doubt to the curb and focus on my tasks with confidence. Now, I say to myself on set, “everyone is nervous about messing up. It’s not just you. Help them relax and it will relax you. Breathe. This cake is baked just for you. Now, who looks like they could use some help?

I recently became single after 25 years of primarily being a stay-at-home mom. Being a part of FIF has motivated me to be fearless in the pursuit of my new career in the world of film. It hasn’t been easy doing three jobs weekly to pay for my independence as well as the FIF course but I wouldn’t change this decision for anything. I directly credit the confidence I have received through Janet’s amazing trainings for the fact that I ended the year with my own relationship radio show.

I booked my first role on a film on January 2, 2022 in a short called “Room Service” with an amazing cast. What would I be doing if I didn’t listen to Janet? I was going to pay a lot of money to finish a course to become an immigration interpreter which I did in the past and hated. I am so much happier working on my dream to be a script supervisor, actress, and talk-show host. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I’ve been surprised by how much psychological reinforcement I have needed and have been given throughout the program while trying to get into the industry after 3 years of no progress and coming out of film school in 2018.

The loss of confidence I had was astounding: lots of indie projects are frozen before pre-production because honestly, I’ve been too timid to get out and try to get a crew and make it happen.

However, A-List and the emails about dealing with failure and psyching yourself out of the powerless state we put ourselves in has helped me take the vital steps forward. The “ERASE!” Method most recently has been a useful tool in my brain arsenal. I’m working with a lot of different people much more actively now; the experiences are giving me some well-needed reminders of the skills I once had.
