2 weeks agoI left my Hollywood stunt career for 15 months to travel to 35 countries. I came back ready to plan my future beyond LA.
My life in Los Angeles had turned into a whirlwind of auditions, stunts, and constant training. I had been working in the entertainment industry as a stuntwoman and actor since I was 30, but by early 2024, after the writers' and actors' strikes, I hit a wall. The industry had slowed to a trickle, my savings were tight, and I realized the way I was living - chasing gigs, enjoying luxury, yet constantly stressed - just wasn't sustainable anymore.
