"I really feel like I had two choices in that moment. And the first choice is to, you know, just panic and run off stage. And the second option is to just roll with it and realize you've already shown up." This is what Broadway, National Tour, and West End star Desi Oakley thought to herself just before the curtain went up on her West End debut, only hours after landing in London and finding out she'd be leading the cast of Waitress that evening. A self-proclaimed "Jane of all Trades," Desi is an actor, singer-songwriter, recording artist, composer, and coach. In today's interview she talks about creating a life as a working artist by reaching out in the business, how she shows up authentically online, and the experience that forever changed the way she speaks to herself.
