I cannot stress the importance of pausing to take a few deep breaths throughout the day. It's simple and effective.

I have a couple of what I call buttons - fears or anxieties that when tweaked can cause me to be vulnerable. Fear of failure, not being good enough, and abandonment are my main buttons. However, they have diminished greatly over the years as I have really confronted those fears in order to work through them.

Everybody remembers what it's like to be in high school. We really never leave those years behind.

No matter what, I find that surrendering is essential.

If I wasn't an actress I'd definitely want to do something in the arts and something that was very creative.

I'm inspired by it all - the good and the not so good - because every experience is an opportunity for me to learn, grow, and become the best version of myself.

I've done a lot of bad TV and bad movies. I've also done some really great things.

Going for a walk is always helpful for me. I also love gratitude exercises.

Finally, be kind to yourself and have a good support system.

I actually have a lot of guilty pleasures.

Reminding myself of all that I have to be thankful for really helps ground me and keeps me from tipping over into that negative place.

I have a skill set that often helps me get through hurtful moments or experiences. However, sometimes when the pain cuts really deep, my normal go-to exercises just won't work.
