Ep. 21 - “I’m Good. No. I'm Great": Claiming Power on Television's Biggest Sets with Nicole Rubio (Part 2)

from Sweet and Savre · host Danielle Savre

The masterclass continues in part two as Danielle and hit TV director Nicole Rubio dive into the high-stakes, fast-paced world of calling the shots on major network television. Nicole details her transition into the director's chair, navigating the intense pressure of tracking nine cameras at once and earning a "get out of jail free card" from Patrick Dempsey. She shares what it was really like working in Shondaland as a woman of color, the beautiful weight of stepping into her own greatness, and the whirlwind of being so highly in demand that you have to start making the tough calls for your priorities. Finally, Nicole gets incredibly candid about the physical and mental toll of a demanding industry, the reality of burnout, and why protecting and nourishing your soul must always come first.
