Ep 606: There is No Prescription to This with Tara Tagliaferro

The Artist Pivot

Today, we have a very special guest, the one and only Tara Tagliaferro. In this episode, we chat about all the ups and downs of working in theater—think crazy performance schedules, dealing with vocal and physical exhaustion, and the financial rollercoaster that comes with it all.

Tara and I reflect on how our values have evolved over time, leading us to prioritize wellness and self-respect over the relentless hustle. We'll also discuss the impact of the pandemic on our identities and the importance of finding fulfillment outside of the stage. From creating virtual communities to exploring alternative sources of income, Tara sheds light on the resilience required to sustain a career in the arts.

It's a candid and heartfelt conversation about the realities of the entertainment industry, the challenges of maintaining mental health, and the journey to finding balance and self-worth amidst the chaos. This episode promises to be a revealing and inspiring look at what it truly means to pivot in the world of performing arts.
