• 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 momentsIf 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 [email protected] 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/OldGirlsEntertainmentSeriously much love to you all!!

Becca has had INSANE guests on her show including Chris McKinnell (Ed and Lorraine Warren's grandson from the infamous Annabelle Doll story), Brandon Alvis and Mustafa Gatollari from Ghost Hunters, Andrea Perron from the real Conjuring house, Mike Allen who was the actual reporter for "The Devil Made Me Do It" court case, and more!

She's been awarded “Best Actress” for indie-films, including Bad Vintage (2023) and Back Home (2022).
