"Hey, let's get real for a sec. You think you're not creative?  Newsflash: EVERYONE is creative. You might not see it, but trust me, you're a painter, a writer, an actor – you just might be rusty . When you say "I can't act," stop that thought right there!  You're capable, you just need to tap into it.

Start small, start weird, start awkward – just START. Write that scene, paint that picture, step into that character. You'll be surprised what happens when you give yourself permission to try. Let's ditch the self-doubt and get messy, get creative, and see what magic unfolds"
