Emily Patterson thought she knew what the dream was supposed to look like.
She was the shy girl who discovered theater, fell in love with acting, got cut from a high school show—and unexpectedly found directing instead. From there came rejection, side jobs, opportunities she didn't feel fully ready for, and a path she never could have planned.
In this episode, Emily shares what happened when she stopped forcing the original dream and started paying attention to what lit her up.
Because sometimes going first means saying yes before you know where it will lead—and trusting that the unexpected path might actually be the one meant for you.
