How To Prepare Like A Pro: From Booking The Job To Sharing The Win

By Wendy Braun

As you may know by now, not only do I love working as an actress (you realize our job is to illuminate humanity, right?), but I also love sharing everything I learn along the way with you!

And with every new booking, comes new insights, ahas, and mindful moments of inspiration that I literally can’t wait to share with other creative warriors.

So, below I put four powerful posts together all in one place, so you could go on my recent “This Is Us” journey with me, as I share all I learned along the way.

LOVE SHARING MY JOURNEY: I break down everything from my self-tape, to my mindset, to putting childcare in place to get to a 5am calltime while my husband was out of town, to what pics and videos to take on the job + how to promote the project once it airs.

With over 20 years in the spotlight as a professional actress, and behind the scenes mentoring high-achieving creatives, I’ve created a proven approach that’s now transformed thousands of lives and careers.

Many say these transformative tools and practical teachings were the missing piece of the puzzle, where mindset meets momentum, and success finally feels soulful.
