Don't be afraid to start something new, even if you don't have all the answers. In this episode, I share why you should just go for it.

Growing up, I was told, "A jack of all trades is a master of none. "This "Jack of all Trades" saying left me feeling like something was wrong with me. Banging my head against my desk, "What's my ONE THING?" There is a solution to this challenge for multi-passionate entrepreneurs and creatives. I discuss the keys to this “ONE THING” question in this episode. If you need more help, reach out at ChereneFrancis.com

As a coach, I recommend you create a roadmap to help you action your goals, dreams, vision and desire. Like any business or endeavour, you need a plan. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. In this episode, I take you through my process of creating a 10-Year Life Plan so you can get motivated, take action and experience the life you desire.

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed with all the opportunities and choices you attract, but still feel like you have no idea what you're doing? Let's talk about it.

In this episode, I answer the following questions: Do you think people still need to move to LA/Hollywood to pursue acting? What process did you go through to find an agent? How did you know it was the right one? Since all auditions are self tapes and you get more tries instead of one, on set do you also get multiple tries?

In this episode, I answer the following questions: How do you balance acting and you marketing business? How did you get to the stage where you could decide to pursue something else and still have a successful business? How did you automate your life (business and continue making passive income)?

In this episode, I answer the following questions from a student: How long was the process from your audition to when you got the part and started filming? What techniques do you use to create a believable character? What is the first thing you do to research and approach a role? How did you become a part of Actra?

How to manage your emotions and “Trust the Process” when starting something new. Stepping into the unknown can be overwhelming and scary. I share my experience of leaning into my career as producer, my emotional challenges and empowering perspectives that help me to trust the growth process.

My midnight epiphany on the essence of life. It’s not set in stone, but an interesting observation to think about.

Dreaming big can be debilitating. I discuss how to gain your power back so you can move forward with ease and a sense of purpose.

How I took a leap into acting despite my doubts of being able to keep up with an unpredictable and competitive film tv industry as a mom of two. Being a mompreneur for 8+ years and a caregiver for 15+ years helped. Here are my thoughts.

If I had it my way, I would probably just spend my life watching movies all day, but here is how I stay lazy and get things done.

Racing or chasing a goal is not ecological to your well being. I share how I pace myself so I don’t burn out in the process of achieving my goals.

Sometimes we don’t realize areas that we are lacking confidence. I share a short story of how I discover more of my power.

The irony! Yes - Life can appear pointless, but there is power in that fact. In this episode, I share why that's a powerful position.

In the midst of mastering the mundane things can get a little pointless. I've learned that gratitude cures the soul and stimulates joy in a dreadful vain world.

Some insights on what I am doing to confidently show up on social media.

After years of being a closet artist (a creative person that desires to make a career as an artist but is afraid that it won't pay the bills), I'm finally stepping out. Here are my thoughts.
