My husband and I celebrated 18 years of marriage y

My husband and I celebrated 18 years of marriage yesterday. (07.14.07 was our wedding date) 😍🥰

To inspire you, I wanted to share the timeline of how we met (10 years before our first date!) and the 10 valuable life lessons I learned when I was single (amidst lots of tears + frustrations).

I hope this helps you to know that even when things look like they might not be going your way, greater forces are at work in your life (and yes, even in your acting career)! 😊

10 Life Lessons I Learned When I Was Single

1995 – Josh + I met on a UCLA student film. He was helping a friend + I had submitted through Backstage (back when it was a newspaper) to get experience on-camera (I had just done theater) and build my reel.

Josh was very handsome + kinda quiet throughout our shoot, so I figured he was super-cocky. 😆

1. Sometimes we add meaning to an event or to a person that might not be true.

1999 – Four years later, I booked the lead in an independent film. When I walked into the table read, there was Josh, who got cast as the other lead. In my head, I thought, “Oh, there’s that super-cocky guy from the short film I did a few years ago. Great.”

Turns out, he was just laid back.

Turns out, he started dating the other lead girl in the film.

Turns out, we became friends.

Turns out, becoming friends was a really good thing, because had we dated back then, we probably wouldn’t be married now.

2. Sometimes when the handsome, nice guy dates another girl and you become "just friends," it might be a beautiful stroke of luck.

2000 – Our film goes to the Cannes Film Festival Market + Josh books a Series Regular role on Strong Medicine (Lifetime).

A commercial I did turns into a giant spokeswomen contract included a 26 spot campaign + live personal appearances, but I still cry in my hotel room because I don’t have a boyfriend + I hadn’t booked a pilot.

I hope you don't spend any time this week feeling

I hope you don't spend any time this week feeling bad about yourself for ANY reason.

It's easy to go down that rabbit hole, isn't it? Just scroll Instagram for 5 minutes, see someone's "Booked It!" post and instantly decide that you're somehow "not enough."

So, what to do instead as a new week begins?

Set your intention to pause more, without distraction from devices.

I’ve been listening to birds sing in my backyard, marveling at the freckles on my children’s faces and enjoying mindful moments where I deeply and sincerely appreciate my life.

And it seems the more I do this, the happier I become and the more unexpected wonderful surprises start to show up. (In the form of auditions, helpful people + other exciting opportunities).

So, just for today, give yourself the gift of a mindful moment. Find out how when you head to my blog: Link in Bio > > ❤️ Explore the BLOG❤️

Look, we both know, there will always be “better, shinier and newer.” There will always be “more to do, more to be, and more to have.”

But it is in the pausing, and the appreciating of where you are right now, that will move you much more easily towards where you want to go.

Because when you don’t need to get somewhere, or become someone to make yourself feel worthy, when you don’t need external success or achievement to define your value, then you, my friend, will have found what everyone else is frenetically “doing it all” to prove.

Leave a comment on the blog + let me know which tip you are implementing + what you’re adoring about your life today.

Comment "HAPPINESS" and I will DM you the direct link. 😘

Here’s to a week of letting go of needing anything to be different for you to love yourself fully.

What a glorious place to live. I'll meet you there.

Love + Gratitude,
Wendy

Have you been facing tons of rejection this year?

Have you been facing tons of rejection this year? Have you allowed it to accumulate in your mind and devastate you at times?You’re not alone.

As actors, collecting the “no’s” should be part of our job description, and yet no one really teaches us how to do that without getting defeated.

Whether it’s not booking the job, not getting the callback or not getting signed by an agent, all of the rejection can chip away at your confidence.

It’s your ability to not allow any of these experiences to turn into a negative belief about yourself that really is the key.

That really is it. It’s how you handle all the rejection, without letting it devastate you, define you or defeat you that will ultimately determine your success.

So don’t take one experience of rejection and allow it to define who you are + what will or won’t happen in your career.

Your thoughts become beliefs, and you get to choose the story you will tell yourself and others.

👉How do you handle “the down times?” I know

👉How do you handle “the down times?” I know how easy it is to beat yourself up when things aren’t showing up the way you intended, envisioned or hoped for...we've all been there, myself included.

I’m sharing this poem today, to remind you that good things are on their way to you (and to invite you to go about your day remembering that 99% of all manifestation happens, before you see evidence of it).

If you can fly high above your current reality, and see it all from a different perspective, and shift your energy around it all, things will shift for you.
I hope this serves as a loving reminder from one creative warrior to another...

"You can absolutely turn your big dreams into reality,
but it will require letting go of your timeline
and loosening your grip on it all." - Wendy Braun

Enjoy this poem....If You Only Knew What Was Coming
If you only knew what was coming,
You wouldn’t shed a tear.
If you could see it all from a bird’s eye view,
You would know it was so near.

If you could look at all that’s happened so far,
As a divine and perfect plan,
You’d see that the twists and turns and setbacks
Were taking you by the hand...

Because this dream of yours isn’t about
The stuff everyone can see.
This dream of yours is actually about….
Drop "#LoveThis" in the comments + I'll send you the direct link to the full poem.

May this help you shift your energy today about it all

Love + Gratitude,
Wendy
