Episode 46: Two Words That Can Fertilize Growth with Melissa Bergstrom

Why listen to this week’s podcast? Here are a few heart taps from this episode:Try new things and  just see what happens! You are never going to be “ready” or good enough to do your thing…so just do it!! There is so much power in these two little words: what if.Learn to be ok with the mess.Before starting a project: ask yourself…What am I feeling, what do I want to make, and what form I want it to take? You have permission to be multi passionate. OCD and anxiety can be a gift. Loosen your grip of control and you can find peace. Whatever “sunset” moment you are in, stand tall and be in it as it passes. Be a witness to the end.Growth is in the repeating, so try again, do it again…take one more step. You have to do your part to make the magic and growth happen. You just never know how your words will impact someone.Despite what has happened in your life…choose to still make something beautiful and let people in.Bio: Melissa Lauricella Bergstrom is a Boston based actor, writer, teaching artist, and all-around creative soul.
