How do we detach from what we do?
For over achievers especially, this can feel impossible. It especially hits home when you are in between jobs or not doing what you want to be doing. As an actress, I GET THIS. I understand what it is to question whether I can even call myself an actress if I'm not currently acting in anything.
I'm so happy to have Kara Barnett back on the podcast. She fills us in on what's been going on since our last interview. Starting out as a casting associate producer on America’s Next Top Model, she worked consistently with companies and Networks such as Viacom, Discovery, CBS, BET, A&E, and OWN. We last saw her as Creative Manager of Strong Black Lead at Netflix.
Kara Barnett currently is a Senior Creative with the Apple TV+ Product and Design team. She also loves creating through her film production company of many years, 25EightProductions and has recently added a new agency arm to the company that focuses on short form content development and creation with Black and Brown brands and creators as well as experiential creative direction.
In this episode:
- We talk about where she was after leaving Netflix
- Leaning on her supportive network
- Attending a retreat called "Waking Hours" and shifting her perspective on how much time we have
- The importance of positive self talk
- Advice for talking to those affected by layoffs, more in this LinkedIn post
While Kara is now a Senior Creative at Apple TV+, she now understands that she is so more than the place she attaches herself to or her job title, she invests in the brand that is Kara Inc. and all of the places she works gives more to her as a whole.
"You don’t have to rush to do anything, we will not forget you."
