#238 - Can You Chase Your Dreams and Still Be Present? — The Salisha Show-Where Broadway Meets Culture

Becoming a mom changed more than my schedule.

It changed how I think about success, work, presence, and the kind of life I actually want to build.

For years, I believed success meant saying yes to every opportunity. Now, I'm learning what it looks like to pursue my dreams while also being present for the people who matter most.

In this episode, I'm sharing what motherhood has been teaching me, why I've been exploring new ways to build my career, and how I'm redefining freedom in this season of life.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

Becoming a bi-coastal mom while continuing my career as an actor
The mindset shifts that came with performing throughout pregnancy
Why my son Ajax has become my greatest teacher on being present
The surprising lesson from people riding through Central Park
Building multiple income streams and creating more freedom
Why I'm excited to help build Bezier New York
What success looks like in this season of motherhood
The reminder that you get to make the rules for your own life

Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, artist, or simply navigating a new chapter, I hope this conversation reminds you that your dreams and your life don't have to compete with each other.
