Dina shares practical notes on building stamina; tracking continuity and adapting to remote workflows. We also get real about auditions; rejection; and resilience; how to navigate rates; rights; and realistic timelines; and how to advocate for accessibility and inclusion in casting and production. Ambition; Balance; and the Filter of Love A through line in our conversation is ambition guided by values. Dina talks about choosing projects that resonate; saying no when the calendar is already full; and using love and family as the filter for major life choices. We explore how that compass steadies a creative career through feast and famine; how boundaries protect both the art and the human; and how making room for relationships and rest actually sharpens the work. pisode Notes Notes go here Support Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/acb-sunday-edition This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
