I needed to be in my studio today because this is where I ground myself and heal. As much as I have learned to block out destructive noise…peoples’ comments and judgements can still hurt deeply with their incessant nagging “you will never be good enough”. The most important thing I have learned through the last 5yrs without alcohol being a guard for escapism, is that I CAN and ALWAYS WILL get through it. I am capable of pretty much anything I care enough about to put my mind to. I am present. I am deeply inspired. I am determined. I am honest. I care about other people. After grounding myself just now with my voice and the lyrics across my heart, I feel compassion for the opinionated hate that some people can so effortlessly just blurt out with such intensity on social media or in the media in general. We all have our days of wanting to be, look, do, and feel better. Nobody is alone with that feelin’ that I can promise you. I woke up at the same time anxious and insecure but also also angry and defensive — like some of you. I know what works for me and that is to let go and simply sing while lookin directly inside the mirror, straight in my eyes to really see and understand myself. I can connect with my heartbeat. I am stable and strong. I am home.
A little advice…live inside your dreams and move through them. Don’t give up on yourself because someone else did. Stay true to YOU. It has worked for me in this chaotic life thus far. Nothin’ and nobody will rob me of my joy. Ya might come close but it is mine to own. Yours should be too.
That is a wrap for the pilot of Open Book. A week of pure magic that I will carry with me for a lifetime. Walkin’ on set and straight into my past would not have felt remotely comfortable without the genius of our entire cast and crew lead by the humble, gentle, confident, and effortlessly honest always smiling and laughing @tomkapinos, Adam Bernstein, Giles Dunning, @cabotmcmullen , and @amandak_thomas. Going backwards in time of self discovery to 25yrs old has moments of intense emotional vulnerability. Hot dang I knew next to nothin’ way back when, but I was ready for the discovery even inside my shyness and innocence. On the EP side of watching someone else, @katelyntarver, play your younger self come of age there is no way to not feel certain things all over again as if it were yesterday. You know when people ask the question, what advice would you give your younger self? Well, for me that answer changed this last week from “you are beautiful and enough” into “SADDLE UP BUTTERCUP! BE FEARLESS LADY”
I can’t even begin to put into words how @johnstamos DOMINATED the role of Butch Thorne ohhhhh just y’all wait…

New head shots are in! Mark your calendar for September 24th to hang with me at The Grove in LA and I will put my John Hancock on one of these bad boys for you!
I finally get to say what I have been wantin’ to say for years now so bear with me as I type through streaming (pun intended) tears of joy and Grace (another pun I can’t tell you about yet 😜) Open Book has opened the door to all of my wildest dreams as an artist, author and entertainer. This project holds my heart completely, infatuates my mind on every level, and deeply seduces my soul to the core. I have spoken about determined patience frequently. Not until now, in this very moment do I get to share the reward of how it feels on this side of the rainbow. I have been obsessed with @tomkapinos as much as any artist or literary student has been since the days of HS being a Dawson’s Creek fan geek-to my personal coming of age years of self discovery a bit later in life after divorce watchin’ the PILOT BIBLE of Californication in 2007! All 💫 have aligned for what is to come with a dream team and the very best of the best in this business! The ONE and ONLY Creator, Writer, EP-TK 🤍 Dir/EP Adam Bernstein who innately has an artistic capability to make you feel every emotion in less than 30 mins with his dynamic range that is beyond measure leavin’ you obsessive. @GilesDunning, a genius DP that tells a story through the lens with filmic visual nuanced style captivating your eyeballs and physically elevating all kinds of stimulation. Watch one of my favorites “Icky Thump” The White Stripes for electric visuals of rock n roll cinematic satisfaction. Thank you to my Amazon fam for believin’ in my purpose, creativity and givin’ me this epic platform. Thanks @PatrickMoran1 who has held tight my vision from day 1. My soulmate EP’s @austagram and @laceofbase WE DID IT HOLY WHOA (pun) y’all have made me feel safe inside my passion with leadership when I’ve wanted to fall into insecurities. Ya’ll continued to remind me thru this entire process to walk through my fears. @KatelynTarver, it is an honor to find myself in your eyes. It is your time to shine beautiful. @JohnStamos, I am so grateful to work alongside a legend, but even more so, I am VERY ready to watch you break the mold as Butch Thorne, always makin us swoon!
