In this episode I sit down with Elizabeth Yng Wong who began as Social Studies Teacher at Punahou HI School in Honolulu HI - the same high school President Obama went to - and decided to listen to the whispers inside and make a big life change to pursue her dreams in entertainment. She is now an award-winning multi-hyphenate woman with multiple roles as producer, director, writer, and editor – across various genres - theater, video games, film, television, branded content, documentary, and narrative. She recently was awarded the Best Production and Best One Woman Show at the United Solo Theater Festival in NY - which is the world's largest solo theatre festival for her work with SPADURA.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

:: Transitioning from teaching to a career in entertainment

:: Balancing stability and pursuing your passions in a career

:: Decision-making and the role of emotions like jealousy

:: Trusting oneself through uncomfortable changes

:: Being willing to fall and trust the direction you’re going

ELIZABETH’S EPISODE SHOUT OUTS:

:: Marie Curie - a Polish-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. She discovered polonium and radium.

:: Carolyne Landon - IG: @carolynedlandon An interdisciplinary visual artist, illustrator, storyteller, and Elizabeth’s mom.
