My name is Julian Gavilanes. I am an actor, filmmaker and now podcaster in NYC, who has an ever-growing fascination with the artists journey. Furthermore, how they've uniquely managed to stick with it through all the inevitable adversity that seems to be a prerequisite for getting to where they want to go.
Many artistic people will say, "you have to be delusional just to believe you even can." And this show attempts to explore how some of my favorite artists in the world learned to cross over from just believing that they could do this, to actually executing these "impossible" aspirations.
Ideally, through these conversations we will impart some level of valuable insight for all of us who are struggling to keep pushing the rock up the hill. Attempt to find the best skills for prioritizing self-care inside and keeping positivity at the forefront of their hearts. Because at the end of the day, no matter what level you reach--it doesn't get and easier. It just gets different. But the good news is, you're not alone. And you're far from inadequate. So, enjoy the talks and stay inspired!

Stephanie Powers is an astrologer, author ("It's Just a Phase"), podcaster (Lightworker's Lounge) and artists. She sits down with Julian initially, to talk about his birth chart and attempt to forecast his upcoming season. But these two quickly dive much further into the psychology of their own evolution. Stephanie helps him unpack this last year and all the hardships that came with it. From the devastated acting industry (post-pandemic/post-strike) and the limited amount of work, to going through a breakup with his significant other, and everything he learned he wanted as a result of losing it all. Julian discusses how him and Rachel found their way back to each other. What he had to unlearn from a lifetime of conditioned beliefs and failed relationships. What managing expectations really looks like in practice. And how he plans to redirect his approach to moving forward professionally and personally, in an attempt to give himself more grace and HAVING MORE FUN! Also, a bonus story about when his car caught fire outside the entrance of Capital Records, as he was dropping Allen Stone off to sign his first major label deal. And the serendipitous story of how he and his girlfriend Rachel had dreams about each other before actually meeting, which became the impetus for their relationship.
Stephanie and Julian share their "WHY" and how they hope to cultivate impact from staying in pursuit of it. If you don't follow her work, you're missing out. Check the links below.
