27: Listening To Your Heart & The Power of Reinventing Yourself with Melanie Hawkins

Have you ever been propelled into a new chapter of life by a single phone call? 

Join us as we chat with the incredible Mel, who shares her transformative journey from Adelaide to Melbourne, sparked by a pivotal call from Todd Patrick. 

Mel opens up about her intensive year of training at PSA, the guidance of exceptional teachers, and the joy of being part of a tight-knit, dedicated group. Her story underscores the importance of following your heart, staying true to yourself, and the constant reinvention needed to thrive in the performing arts.

Reflecting on our own career paths, we explore the rollercoaster of success and rejection in the performing arts industry. From the fortune of early career breaks to the emotional toll of more frequent rejections, we share personal anecdotes on how these experiences pushed us to reinvent ourselves continually. 

We discuss the lessons learned from every role and gig, expected or not, and how expanding our skills to include singing and acting has shaped our artistic journey.

This episode is a heartfelt exploration of embracing versatility and stepping out of comfort zones. We highlight the importance of perseverance, the support of mentors and peers, and maintaining a sense of joy and reinvention through music and movement. 

Imagine dancing through the streets with headphones on, capturing that dreamlike essence in your everyday life. Whether you're a seasoned performer or just starting out, this conversation is filled with inspiration and the magic of following your heart in the performing arts.
