In this episode, Jennifer has a deep heart conversation with Renika Williams about her journey thus far as an actor. They talk about living intentionally, releasing expectations, and needing to be specific about what you are wanting. Renika talks about the importance of reaching back, being able to change your mind, and recognizing that sometimes things don’t feel the way you think they will. They also unpack the misconception around “quitting” and the ability to hold multiple feelings simultaneously.
