Self Doubt // Reconcile the Aisle
I was surprised when I got the message from a fan/friend that said: “You said you were having self doubt. That doesn’t seem right - you seem to confident!”
Like most performers, what you see on stage is not what you see in the preparation and the day-to-day minefield of rejection and internal questioning. So I talked about this on Instagram LIVE a bit. And tried to put into words the difference.
There are two other podcasts on Reconcile the Aisle that support what we spoke about here.
Felipe Torres Medina, a writer for Stephen Colbert, talked about how to handle rejection and that everyone (EVERYONE) feels it. He’s seen major comedians bomb in the writer’s room. There is no one who is immune!
Matt Mazany was one of the writers and producers of Gary of Thrones. We talk a lot about how to navigate the expectations of different show environments.
Know that you’re not alone, no matter how dark things can seem!
