How to open a new path if you’re feeling stuck where you are

Today we are talking about how to open a new path if you’re feeling stuck where you are, whether at work or in any other situation.


Our guest is Fernanda Kelly, actress, entrepreneur and TV and radio host. While her career in media has been successful, Fernanda’s childhood dream was always to be an actress. Today, she opens up about what it took for her to grapple with that dream not coming true in the way she hoped, and how she used her Buddhist practice to deepen her faith in herself and become a person of action.
