Ep159: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs (and Lack of Experience) to Break Into Scripted Television | with Marcella Garcia

<p>When editor <a href="https://facebook.com/marcella.garcia.737" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Marcella Garcia</strong></a> originally reached out to me in January because she was stuck in the wrong place in her career and wanted to make a seemingly impossible transition into scripted entertainment, she did not expect to be sending me this message just six months later (in the Optimizer Slack community):</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16813" src= "https://optimizeyourself.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ep159-screencap.jpg" alt="ep159-screencap" width="615" height="275" /></p> <p>Like Marcella, when people come to me for help, they commonly describe themselves as feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, and ready to change. They are burdened with limiting beliefs that convince them they “can’t change,” and they have no idea what the path looks like to get where they want to go next. Whether that sounds like personal growth jargon to you or not is irrelevant - what really matters are the results.</p> <p>Marcella is a shining example of the results that are possible when you put in the work. Growing up in San Antonio, Texas, Marcella didn't see a lot of other Mexican-American women becoming Hollywood film and television editors. Unconsciously this lack of representation held her back and even limited her dreams of what might be possible for her own career. She worked as a short form editor on digital lifestyle content for Fortune 500 magazine brands, but it wasn't until she mentored young women in high school that she realized she wanted more from her career.</p> <p>This led her to join the <a href= "https://optimizeyourself.me/optimizer" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>Optimizer coaching and mentorship program</strong></a>, and six months later the rest is history. In our conversation you'll hear how Marcella overcame her anxious thoughts, faced her fears, and discovered how much more she's capable of achieving. You’ll also learn how she created a very clear (and very doable) path
