PART 2 - I think one of the most important skills you can develop as an artist is learning how to represent yourself.
And that goes far beyond injury or recovery.
Sometimes it means speaking up, communicating what you need, and staying honest about what your body is telling you.
Other times, it means staying true to yourself when the culture of a team, a group, or even a company is pulling you in a different direction.
There will be moments when going with the group is easier.
And there will be moments when staying aligned with yourself matters more.
Learning how to know the difference - and having the courage to speak for yourself when it does - is part of the work too.
