Send this to a friend who’s wrestling with rejection, or save it for yourself for when you need a reminder that what’s meant for you will never pass you by. Picture this: after five intense rounds of callbacks, the role you’ve been vying for is offered to you, only to be abruptly retracted because their initial choice becomes available again. This kind of rejection, if you allow it to linger, carries a uniquely personal and sharp sting—a special kind of rejection that cuts deeper than most. 🔪💔 My manager was initially furious, even wanted to pursue legal action over how abruptly the role was snatched away. But her frustration faded quickly, impressed by the grace with which I accepted the news. This chapter, though challenging, stayed with me because the part ultimately went to a friend, who shared that the project wasn’t a great experience. Meanwhile, the universe was aligning stars I couldn’t yet see. 💫 ⏩ Fast forward a few months, I was offered the role of Billie on #Supernatural without an audition. What started as a single scene grew into five seasons. The journey of how I landed in the #spnfamily is a story in itself, one we’ll save for another day to stay focused on our current thread. This journey, my friend, is nothing short of magical, and a testament to the seen and unseen forces guiding us. ✨ It’s hard to spot the lessons hidden within rejection. I’ve walked that path, but remember, what’s truly meant for you will never pass you by. This is when we lean into trusting in those unseen forces guiding us, where each no, each redirection, carves us more into who we’re meant to be. If this strikes a chord— if you’ve felt this peculiar blend of disappointment and gratitude, show this post some love. ❤️ Drop a ✨ in the comments as our little signal to the universe that we’re open, ready, and trusting of what’s coming next. 20 years in this game reminds me that passion, curiosity, and love for our craft will carry us forward. Welcome every ‘no’, knowing greater things await. Every twist, every turn, is preparing us for moments we can’t yet imagine. 🫶🏾 #watchuswin #lisaberry #coachforcreatives #winningmindset #latebloomerlove

If your inner critic’s voice has grown too loud lately, this is for you. Start with a whisper of self-compassion—it’s time to be your own coach, full of love and respect. As creatives, we might feel like we don’t have much control, but remember, our thoughts, actions, and emotions are ours to shape. Like this post if it speaks to you, as a nod to your own creative journey. 🫶🏾 In those silent moments, when gigs aren’t lining up, it’s not emptiness—it’s space. Space to nurture gratitude, to listen, to grow. Let’s turn down the volume on doubt and tune into the wisdom within. Whether it’s in the stories you tell, the characters you bring to life, or the new paths you carve out, honor that curious, brave soul who stepped into this world of creation. And if you’ve made it this far, still reading, show a little love, double-tap. It’s not just a like—it’s a high-five to your resilience. Remember, our creativity ebbs and flows, but it’s never lost. It waits, patiently, for us to return with a renewed sense of purpose and play. Trust the lulls, they’re as much a part of the process as the peaks. And when the call comes, step into it with all the gusto of your first yes—and the wisdom of when to say no. To anyone teetering on the brink, hold on. Drop a ❤️ below as a pledge to keep going, to move with the seasons, and to create with courage. Your art, your voice, your story—they matter. Keep going. That heartbeat? It’s the rhythm of your art, waiting to dance once more. ❤️ #watchuswin #lisaberry #coachforcreatives #keepgoing #keepgrowing
I say this with so much love, but …👇🏾 Please stop taking advice from people who don’t have what you want. Here’s why: advice should propel you forward, not keep you stationary. When you listen to someone who hasn’t achieved your aspirations—be it lifestyle, financial success, or mindset—you’re building on shaky ground. Imagine taking permanence tips from someone who’s never been on stage or getting financial advice from someone drowning in debt— disaster bound. Moral of the story is, surround yourself with mentors and follow figures on social media whose success and experiences are not just apparent, but proven. It’s all about aligning your energy to foster your personal and spiritual growth. And I get it—navigating advice is tough, especially from family, friends, or even strangers online. Remember, it’s your journey and your truth that matter most. Stay true to your inner voice—it’s the compass that will guide you through the noise. Trust yourself to make decisions that light up your path and lead you to your highest aspirations. Keep moving forward, embracing the wisdom that resonates and letting go of what doesn’t serve your growth. You have the power to shape your destiny. Drop a ❤️ if this resonates— and have you ever struggled to follow your own path against strong, misaligned advice? Share your story in the comments.
Take a breath before you scroll on. Personal growth work is intense, but it grounds you in truth—making you more empathetic, and forgiving of yourself and others. If you’re committed to this inner alchemy, comment ‘SUPPORT’—let’s navigate this path together. This isn’t just a caption, it’s a moment of truth for you, the artist tirelessly carving out your space in a world that can’t stop won’t stop. And if you know someone weaving through their creative labyrinth, searching for that spark of resilience, go ahead—share this with them. Don’t just skim this—there’s a beacon of hope waiting for you at the end. You’ve faced down rejection, you’ve stood in the eye of the storm and found your footing, time and time again. Remember, this artistic journey? It’s not a sprint to the finish line—it’s a marathon, with every mile etching deeper wisdom into your being. If you’re still reading—if you’ve come this far with me— show this post some love ❤️ It’s all too easy to slip back into well-worn paths, but you? You’re here mastering the art of the comeback, turning every setback into a new, more nuanced step forward. Two decades in this field has taught me that it’s not just raw talent that sustains you—it’s the finesse with which you navigate the intricate dance of a lifelong craft.

Pause here, let this sink in, and then continue on, armed with the knowledge that your journey is unique, sacred, and absolutely worth it. #watchuswin #lisaberry #coachforcreatives #soulgrowth #oldsouls #magnetism #spiritualjourney #personalgrowth

Before you quit let’s talk… 🫶🏾 And I say this with so much love ❤️ Puuhleaseeeee stop believing that the harder you hustle, the louder you are, or the bigger you make yourself, the more you’ll attract. ❌ It may work for a while… 🤷🏾♀️ 💔 But then comes the burnout, the self-doubt, and that feeling of unworthiness. 😔 What really works? ✅ Trust.💫 Trust your journey, trust that your art matters. ❤️ 🚘 Trust is believing in your path, even when you can’t see the whole road. It’s knowing that the universe has your back and that everything unfolds as it should. ✨ 🌸🌱 Think of it like a garden. You don’t yank flowers to make them bloom. You plant, water, and trust.✨ Gratitude is a key part of this trust. It grounds you in the present and opens you to receive more. ❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🏾 This practice of mindfulness and self-care is the secret sauce for personal and spiritual growth. It builds resilience, aligns your energy, and brings inner peace and authenticity. Crazy right?! 😝 Now, I want to hear from you now—What keeps you inspired? 🌟 Let me know in the comments.

GET READY TO SAVE THIS ⬇️ Drop a ❤️ if your spiritual practices feel intertwined with your creative endeavors. I started working with a client who was booking roles but not consistently— and not the kind of roles she wanted. She was going to every class, tried a lot of different workshops, but felt like her efforts were just disappearing into the ether. ⁉️What was she missing? 🛐 Having a strong relationship with God and a simple practice that supported this connection. I introduced three pivotal questions to explore her beliefs: ✨Do you believe in God (or your own higher power)? ✨Do you believe this power is inherently good? ✨Do you believe this power makes mistakes? Her answers revealed deep-seated doubts and limiting beliefs, creating creative blocks that were keeping her stuck. Now, keep in mind that alongside these questions, she also began a gratitude practice that keeps her connection to God strong. She infused her mornings and evenings with this routine and incorporated moments of stillness throughout her day—all of which I guided her through. ❤️ 👏🏾 Another client landed a series regular role after a year-long dry spell. And another? She reignited her passion for creating art, and tapped into her authentic self. 📿 A gratitude practice aligns you with God (or your higher power) and reignites your initial artistic inspiration, reminding you daily of the joy and love that drew you to your craft. 🫶🏾 Now, it’s your turn. Ask yourself these questions. ✨ Notice any hesitations or ‘gremlins’ that come up—if it’s not an immediate ‘yes,’ there’s your clue to where your blocks lie. ✅ COMMENT: Gratitude And I’ll send over a link to join my inner circle where you can implement the same 5-day Gratitude Challenge I gave them to ignite your connection to a higher power, help you feel better immediately and so much more! And if you feel comfortable sharing —how did those questions resonate with you? What surfaced? I’d love to hear came up. #mindfulness #selfcare #holisticcoaching #energyalignment #surrender #lettinggo #empowerment #transformation #mindbodyconnection #selfcompassion #recalibrating #lisaberry #creativecoach
ONE choice holds the power to change your story. To breathe life into a new legacy. I see you. Continue onward. Your calling is divine. XO Lisa 💕
Share this with your REEL friends. 🫶🏾 It was 2013, tears mixed with dishwater as I scrubbed away, wrestling with the ache of constant rejection. There I was, drowning in a sea of “never gonna happen”—no leading roles, no breaks, just me and my endless doubts, whispering that maybe I wasn’t cut out to make it in acting. In that low moment, with my hands submerged and my spirit even deeper, it struck me: there had to be a flow to life as effortless as the water streaming from the tap. That’s when I dropped the dishes, hit the couch, and surrendered. “I’m at rock bottom; I’m listening. What’s next?” That was my pivot—the point where everything shifted. From there, my practice evolved from occasional gratitude when times were good to a rooted, vibrant spiritual regime. I needed more than sporadic peace; I needed a spiritual gym—a sanctuary where my creative self could strengthen her inner self without the solitude. 🏠 So, I created this virtual sanctuary, a free online library rich with everything from free audio lessons to mini-courses, all crafted just for us. It’s a space where even the insights of death itself guide us—check out my new series, “Life Notes: Selections from Death’s Diary.” It’s like Dear Abby if Abby had the cosmic scoop. 🖤 👉🏾Head to the link in my bio @lisaberrylive and join The Sanctuary— let’s dive deep together. Drop a ❤️ to show your resilience, and share a moment when you knew change was calling. 🌊 Sometimes, the best way to find your footing is to let everything flow away like water and listen to what the silence whispers back. #watchuswin #lisaberry #coachforcreatives #resilience #recalibrate #mindfulness #selfcare #spiritualgrowth #energyalignment #innerpeace #authenticity #empowerment #personalgrowth #transformation #holisticcoaching #mindbodyconnection #creativeblock #overcomingfear #buildingconfidence #selfcompassion #flowstate
