Just a little disclaimer -

It's so beautiful and nice to hear your journey with acting. I was a new nurse and a year in, the pandemic hit. Working through the entire pandemic wore me down physically and mentally. I didn't want to do nursing anymore because my passion for it was gone. I stuck around because I felt like I was making my co-workers drown an already sinking ship. I decided it was time to focus on myself and do what makes me happy - So I stepped away from nursing. Your story makes me realize that as humans, we are meant to go on not just one but many journeys in our lives. Maybe I'll return to nursing again, but only if that passion ever returns. <3

What a story Claire!! You at least had your dream come true! It's so fulfilling to come around full circle in your acting - theatre experience! With your ups and downs regardless 🙂

Hello there fellow LAMDA plant lover. I went to LAMDA too and did the tech course a couple(ish) years before you probably. This video was so relatable to my experience in technical theatre, drama school, and my decision to leave theatre. Thank you so much for sharing. It was very emotional watching. You're a legend!

That was really awesome to just hear your story and what else you are passionate about. I really enjoyed hearing you talk about the ups and downs and just everything! Thank you for sharing!🥰

Hugs! Your an amazing person & such an inspiration, your videos bring me such joy- I hope you never stop ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story, Claire. I think you described the incredible 'highs' and extreme lows of acting perfectly. You're right, the stable happy in-between is far healthier and less soul destroying. Rejection can make us second guess ourselves and constantly putting ourselves in that position does us no favours. I love your channel, your sunny disposition and relaxed manner. You have surrounded yourself with something you love. That's what life is about x

Thank you for sharing a portion of your life with us. Acting had to be a great learning experience. So glad you were able to have this to enhance and enrich your life! 👌👏🥰

I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason Claire😇 and I’m glad you have chosen to do what makes you happy! We can see your passion in what you are doing right now and I can see that plants bring you so much joy💚 if it’s meant to be, you will end up back in the industry but clearly you are happy where you are now and that’s the important thing xx

Thanks for sharing a snippit of yer life with us henny! 🌞

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You are in your element with plants and I for one find your videos informative and fun ( sometimes therapeutic...😊) . I'm thinking of starting my own channel. I just don't have a clue how to start!

Thank you for being so frank and honest, I really wish you the best with KZread. :)

You are such an inspiration and WOW what a story ♥️ I wish you all the best!

Highly educated leather designer (almost 10 years) turned into User Experience Designer (digital IT products) who works in design agency. Good to hear your story.

I loved this. Thank you for letting us into this part of your life.

Your insights are extremely interesting, and your outlook is so sunny and engaged 😊🌻

Hearing your story made me think about how the industry seems to blame actors for giving up, when the truth is the industry just doesn’t have the room for everyone. You worked so hard and persevered, but you found something else that makes you happy and makes you money! There’s no shame in that. Thank you for sharing your story!

This was an awesome share! When you close one door, another always opens. And you are loved on KZread being you! You don't have to be a character that people love, we love you for who you are as a person! Acting sounds depressing more than uplifting! Lol Everything will work out exactly as it should! Dye your hair whatever color you want! Do what you want! I think now you are free!!!!
