Today we are going to revisit Episode 408, where I sat down with the multi-talented Queen Shereen Macklin – an actress, educator, and healer, who's carving out a unique path in the arts as an advocate for women of color. Shereen's story is one of courageous transformation; from pursuing a chemistry degree to fulfill family expectations to embracing her true passion in the arts.

In our conversation, we dive deep into Shereen's pivotal choice to only engage with projects that resonate with her soul, a decision that’s paved the way for a career filled with purpose and joy. We examine the power of being a multi-hyphenate artist and why embracing our varied interests is nothing to be ashamed of. Shereen gets candid about her spiritual journey, self-love, and how these profound experiences have shaped her as a person and professional, especially in her impactful roles as an instructor and coach.

From the streets of New York to the vibrant scenes of Los Angeles and the soulful ambiance of New Orleans, Shereen recounts her move during the pandemic in search of authenticity and alignment with her core values. We also explore the necessity of risk-taking and trusting oneself to dive into unknown territories.

Prepare to be inspired by Shereen's nuggets of wisdom and heartfelt insights into living a life that's true to who you are. This is not just a conversation, it’s a lifeline to anyone standing at the crossroads, ready to pivot toward their own definition of success.
