The Unshakeable Life

What is an Unshakeable Life?

I have been on a personal and spiritual path for quite some time. I went on a mission to find the answer to what makes a person, or their life seem unshakeable. Are they unshakeable? seeking the answer to this question. Through my journey, I examined different aspects of my life, looking for the foundations of true stability and resilience.

One of the most powerful lessons came from an unexpected source—a willow tree.

When my family moved to Prior Lake, Minnesota, we settled in a new development where few trees stood. My father laid down sod, and my mother wanted to plant a willow tree, inspired by the name of our neighborhood, The Willows. She cut a branch from a nearby willow by the beach, placed it in water to root, and prepared to nurture it into the ground.

Shortly after, a tornado warning swept through our area. Concerned, my mother rushed outside to bring the fragile branch indoors for protection. The storm passed, and the young willow survived. Decades later, that tree stood tall and strong, its deep roots anchoring it firmly to the earth.

That willow became a symbol for my own journey toward becoming unshakeable.

Lessons from Life’s Storms

Throughout my life, people have shown up at the right moments to help me build resilience. My piano teacher was one of the first. She taught me that we all move to our own rhythm and that if someone doesn’t like my style, there will always be someone who does. This lesson carried me through times of uncertainty, reminding me that my worth isn’t dependent on external validation.

Near my 20th birthday, I met a man who would become my life partner. His unwavering love taught me the power of deep, unconditional support—the kind of foundation that makes a person feel truly unshakeable.

Like many actors and artists of the theater, I’ve had moments of struggle in my career. I’ve questioned my path, battled self-doubt, and wondered if I could truly build a life doing what I love. But every time I paused and listened to my inner voice, I was reminded of what brought me joy and fulfillment. My piano teacher’s wisdom resurfaced: I define who I am. It is my decision to create the life I want.

It took me nearly 60 years to fully embrace this realization. When I did, I looked around and saw so many others struggling just as I had. That’s when I knew my mission—to help others find their unshakeable life.

The Unshakeable Artist: Breaking Free from the Struggle

As a theater artist myself, having worked as an actor, dancer, director, and designer, I know firsthand the challenges creatives face. Too many talented artists find themselves:

• Overworked and underpaid
• Stuck in a cycle of rejection and inconsistent gigs
• Struggling to turn their talent into a stable career
• Wondering if it’s even possible to make a real living in the arts

But here’s the truth: ✅ You don’t have to struggle to do what you love. ✅ Talent alone isn’t enough—strategy and confidence matter. ✅ A thriving career is built, not wished for.

That’s why I created The Unshakeable Artist Program—to help creatives break free from uncertainty, book the gigs they want, and design a career that supports their dream lifestyle.

What Does It Mean to Be Unshakeable?

Being unshakeable doesn’t mean you won’t face challenges. It means you develop the mindset, strategies, and support system to weather any storm. Just like the willow tree, you grow deep roots so that when the winds of doubt, rejection, and uncertainty come, you bend but do not break.
