Building Unshakable Confidence Through Theater and Performance Art

There's nothing quite like getting into character and acting as a totally different person to challenge and stretch ourselves outside of our comfort zones. This type of challenge is what allows for growth and being able to see our own abilities. My guest this week, Crystal Brown, performing artist, director, and theater educator, focuses her work on helping others see the benefits of tapping into our inner creativity and bringing forth energy we never even knew we had.

Show Notes

Crystal Brown, performing artist, director, and theater educator, will tell you that all actors are weird. You have to be to act out as a character and pretend to be somebody you're not. Yet weird can be wonderful in so many ways. On this episode Crystal shares with us about her own experience of being a singer, actress, and educator of the arts and how she has seen it change the lives of many people, including her own.  Crystal has valuable insight into how digging deep into our inner expressive and creative energies boosts our self confidence and belief in our own gifts and abilities. Together we have a beautiful talk about the consequences of scarcity mindset and fear of failure which can sniffle our natural talent. And how we are the only ones who can decide that our blocks aren't real and can actually be blessings which we can feel gratitude towards. 


Crystal Brown is a performing artist, director, and theater educator based in San Francisco, CA.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?

My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.

After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.

Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.

On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine

I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,

If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
