KEY TAKEAWAYS: 
 

Fear is here for us. It either owns us or empowers us, and we gain power when we’re honest about our fear, surrender to it, and learn from it. Don’t fear fear…instead, get curious about the message it is trying to communicate.   

Teacups have a rich history of being used as offerings and sacred vessels. They have been passed down from generation to generation as gifts in families.  

TV roles are often chosen based on how viewers would imagine the character to look, so actors don’t always get to play the part they want. This sometimes creates limitations for actors because if they look a certain way, they will only be cast for a specific role throughout their career.
