Description

You belong. You think you don’t, but you do. I promise. Despite being a successful actor, producer, activist and…firefighter(?!) Alysia Reiner still has to remind herself that she fits in. But she goes beyond just reminding herself–Reiner is on a mission to create belonging for others through her films, art and social justice endeavors. The definition of walking the walk, she’s all about taking action. Why give money to environmental rights groups when you could learn to be a community firefighter instead? Why post about women getting equal pay when you can make a movie–by women for women–and make the female investors 110% back on their returns? Does this woman ever sleep? We’ll answer all this and more in this episode, with some pretty life changing takeaways, such as:Life is all about playing the long game, especially now that we’re living longer than ever beforeTake your creative career at your own pace: people reach success at different speedsDon’t get a nose job. You do you.Take the time before success to really get clear on what you want…once you figure that out, you’re more likely to become a magnet for it Leaning into action-oriented service helps to heal you as much as it helps your communityRegardless of how many magazine covers, red carpets or runways one is on, belonging is elusive to all of us at times To succeed in a long term partnership, work on conflicts before they even start. Get a couples therapist before you have problems, just to have someone on deck who knows your relationship. That is, if your partner’s open to itLoving your partner is a choice that you have to make every day, and making intimacy a priority is essential You can try your hardest and do your absolute best and still fail:  it’s the getting back up that countsIf you’re feeling particularly inspired, find local volunteer firefighter opportunities at https://makemeafirefighter.org/  Want more Alysia?
