Hi Reader,

Tonight at 11:59 PM PST, Founder pricing for Casting DNA™ closes.

$650 becomes $750 tomorrow morning. No fanfare. No warning. Like Spectrum, who quietly raises your bill by 50% with a line item explaining that you are now renting your router from an independent contractor in Zimbabwe. I have questions. 🙋🏼‍♀️ They will not be answered.

If any of my emails this week landed — if the regal queen story resonated, if Lisa Su's agent texting "I think this might be from the actual show" made you feel a flicker of I want that — tonight is your moment.

And if tonight isn't your moment — the price goes to $750 tomorrow, but the door stays open through April 7. No pressure, no rush. 🙏

Ok. One more thing.

A theme keeps coming up lately in class and in my 1:1 sessions. Actors have fewer auditions. No callbacks. And a creeping feeling that the work they're doing isn't adding up to anything – especially a career.

The industry is contracting. Guest star roles are getting handed to out-of-work A-listers.

Don't take it personally.

It's not about you. It's just the new math.

Do this instead: Make your own work. Will your career into existence. Be so specific and undeniable that they can't ignore you.

That's the gig now. And honestly? It feels a hell of a lot better than worrying about why you're not getting picked to audition or work.

Pick yourself. 🎬

Hot Off My Brain 🧠 & Other Good 💩: A Curated List of Stuff I'm Lovin'

Some of these links are affiliate — I'll always flag them with a 💸 so you know. I will only ever share stuff I truly love and actually use. Your trust is worth way more to me than a few ill-gotten shekels towards my Trader Joe's impulse aisle problem. I swear. ✋🏼

📺 What I'm Watching: Landman. 📺 Trashy like a shirtless cowboy and a bag of Hot Cheetos from the hotel minibar. I'm obsessed with Ali Larter. I want to be her when I grow up — tanning bed, personal trainer, and Billy Bob Thornton's balls included. And Sam Elliott is a national treasure. I will not be taking questions. 🤠🌶️

🎧 What I'm Listening To:The Golden Compass audiobook 💸. Yes it's technically for 13-year-old boys. No I do not care. The world is heavy right now and I need some fluff and I am not apologizing. The voice acting is absolutely STELLAR and I needed to live in a world with daemons and armored polar bears for a little while. This was exactly what the librarian ordered. 🐻‍❄️ Highly recommend if you also need a world that is not this one for a few hours.

🛠 Ritual I'm Currently Obsessed With: Soaking my poor aching feet in ice water before bed, then stretching on my cozy pink fuzzy rug 💸. My acupuncturist also recently introduced me to a liniment called Evil Bone Water. Yes, that's its real name. It sounds like something sold in a medieval apothecary shop between the eye of newt and the cursed candles. And yet my acupuncturist swears by it and it genuinely seems to ease the pain so here we are. I have no notes. 🧙🏼‍♀️

That's all for now. Go make something. Go show them who you are.
