In this episode, your host Rosie (me) shares a candid life update after a three-week hiatus from the podcast. Struggling with perfectionism, apartment hunting, coping with friends and family moving away, a sudden health scare that led to a day in the hospital, and distressing meetings with a deceitful employer who is not paying me the negotiated fee, I try accepting that... while we can't control life's twists and turns, we can choose to embrace resilience, gratitude, and a determination to make the best of every situation. Join me as I navigate the unpredictability of life and try not to lose my marbles. haha

This episode of rosie's backstage banter includes two storytimes about auditioning for theatre plays at the same theatre, two years in a row. The first, a nerve-wracking disaster filled with swallowing words, prop-knocking, and line stumbling. The second, a triumphant experience with newfound confidence and laughter backstage. Through these experiences, I was taught a valuable lesson: life is a grand performance, and not every audition needs a standing ovation. The episode is a blend of humorous reminiscing on both the good and the bad, and the importance of enjoying the present moment. Whether you're an aspiring actor or navigating life's stage, these stories will leave you with a smile and a reminder to embrace the journey.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rosalie93/message
