In the world of creativity, you can look around and see the people who take a forward-fast approach. They are the ones who are taking charge of their personal and professional lives, making significant choices about how they view things, choosing their attitude with purpose, attracting the right collaborators to support their vision, and most of all, taking action to make things happen.

Key Quote from Angie:
“I think you get to these points when you’re writing and you’re working as an artist where you have a small moment where you’re like, I wonder if I should not write that. I want to write that, but I wonder if other people read this, should I not write that? Should I not share that, be, like, that vulnerable? And you said that in your beginning, so you have to and in choosing vulnerability, which I did, you learn a deeper version of yourself. Yeah. You end up, you’re expressing truth now. You’re not expressing an illusion.”
