My latest piece for Psychology Today explores something many of us in the performing arts have witnessed far too often: bullying in rehearsal rooms.
I reflect on its quiet but lasting impact on creativity, and offer some thoughts on how we can better protect not only the well-being of artists, but the heart of true collaboration.
If it resonates, I'd love to hear your reflections. 💔🎭✨

Rehearsal rooms are meant to be spaces of trust and transformation. But what happens when fear replaces safety? This post explores the cost of bullying and the path to repair.

It’s a conversation that deserves more space in our industry. Link in my bio.
