8: dreams can change (and it's okay) feat. Veronica Stern
Kate is joined by guest co-host Veronica Stern to talk about what happens when your dreams shift—and why that’s not a bad thing. From national tours to a 9-to-5 in media, Veronica shares her story of burnout, pivots, and redefining success. They unpack the pressure to “make it” fast, the myth of theater-or-bust, and why taking a break doesn’t mean falling behind.
