In this new format for Artists Becoming, we dive deep on a theme close to our hearts and the Artists Becoming community - Career transitions. With two magnificent artists and humans who have chosen to continue their careers beyond the stage, we ask the questions that so many artists reflect on and ponder while making leaps to new chapters. How do we continue to evolve beyond our artform? Who are we beyond the stage? When do we know that it is time to make a departure from the stage lights weâve fought to call home? In intimate voice notes, Garen Scriber and Ellen Overstreet share their journey. Please enjoy and share with a friend. We canât wait to hear what you think of this new format we are introducingđ

In this expansive, love-fest of a conversation, Leah Smart provides us with psychological tools & empowering permission to deconstruct our relationships with identity, our âcalling,â our spirituality, and our fruitless yearning to engineer certainty as Artists, becoming. We breakdown the Vulnerability equation involved with switching the script of âthe Movies weâre living inâ đŹđ€ŻWe trade the limiting question of âWhat do you do?â with the freeing (yet intimidating) alternative: âWho am I?â ⊠We gush over Positive Psychologyâs study of human flourishing, and our collective pursuit of *contentment* â Get your âMe Listsâ ready & listen loudly⊠this oneâs chock full of gems, just like our resident, slash-career specialist, @leah__smartđ«
