After experiencing severe burnout and losing &quot;my passion for what I do&quot;, Audrey pursued &quot;a path of joy&quot;, trying many different new things. Music was the thing that stuck. She talks with us about how scary it is to be a beginner at something after having proficiency in another craft.&amp;nbsp; She shares a hilarious story about how even her friend and neighbor Jeff Bridges gets nervous, but, in his words, &quot;the experience makes it all worth it.&quot; Audrey smartly shares that, &quot;It's okay to be afraid,&quot; and explains how nerve is a great tool to keep you present and paying attention. We discuss how, as a culture, we are encouraged to specialize and master ONE thing, but as Audrey points out - &quot;people have depth.&quot; She describes the journey she's been on with creating music and asking herself, &quot;How can I be most authentically me? And how do I put that into the world?&quot; We also discuss masculine vs feminine energy and not indulging the culture of &quot;busy&quot;, and Audrey gives great advice to any one looking to transition out of their 9-5. Audrey advises surrounding yourself with people better than you and says, &quot;Making art is one of the bravest things you can do.&quot; If you love this episode, will you please take a second to rate and review the podcast? ---------------- Connect with us online! https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/doingscarythings\/ &amp;nbsp; https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg &amp;nbsp; Email us!&amp;nbsp;doingscarythingspod@gmail.com &amp;nbsp; Instagram:&amp;nbsp;@doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23&amp;nbsp; #doingscarythings &amp;nbsp; Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!
