Choosing Her Own Script: Trusting Intuition & Owning Your Power with Caylee Cowan

What happens when you stop following the script others expect you to live — and start trusting your own intuition instead? In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with actress and producer Caylee Cowan for an honest conversation about choosing creativity, intuition, and personal truth over conventional expectations. Before pursuing acting, Caylee was on a path toward medicine, even shadowing physicians at the Mayo Clinic. But a deeper pull toward storytelling led her to pivot into theater and film — a decision that quickly launched her career, with roles in projects including Willy’s Wonderland alongside Nicolas Cage, Frank and Penelope, and Divinity, which competed at the Sundance Film Festival. Caylee opens up about navigating rejection in Hollywood, the emotional preparation required for demanding roles, and why she considers acting a privilege she never takes lightly. She also shares how stepping into producing has become a natural extension of her creative voice — and why she is passionate about supporting more authentic and complex female storytelling in film. This conversation is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t come from following someone else’s script — it comes from trusting yourself enough to write your own. ⭐ Loved This Episode?If this conversation moved you, challenged you, or gave you a new perspective:• Tap Follow or Subscribe so you never miss an episode• Leave a 5-star review — it helps this show reach more women who need these conversations• Share this episode with someone who needs permission to keep standing• Follow @KeniSilva_ and @InHeelswithKeniSilva on Instagram• Watch video clips and full episodes on @InHeelswithKeniSilva, Youtube, McCordlistTV, Roku • Learn more about Divorce As An Opportunity and Keni’s work at Kenisilva.com
