Hello and welcome back to another episode of Nevertheless, Shlee Persisted! ’m chatting about wrapping up my Come From Away contract, and the things I’m feeling especially grateful for right now. Plus, we’re talking about everything I’ve been reading lately because, naturally, I have books to discuss.
A little theatre, a little life update, a little gratitude, and a whole lot of Shlee catching you up on what’s been going on.

The Control Freak's Guide to Letting Go
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Nevertheless, Shlee Persisted! Well...we opened a show! 🎉
After a slightly chaotic opening week (and an accidental podcast hiatus), I'm back with an episode that feels incredibly timely
In the middle of opening week, I got a pretty big audition opportunity. So naturally, we're talking about control.
This week, I'm diving into what it means to let go of the outcomes you can't control while taking ownership of the things you can. From opening a show to navigating self tapes, audition anxiety, and the constant uncertainty of the theatre industry, this episode is all about learning to trust the work you've put in.
In this episode, we chat about:
✨ Opening night reflections
✨ Auditioning while on contract
✨ Letting go of outcomes and embracing uncertainty
✨ The people who remind us to keep taking the shot
✨ This week's gratitude list and current reads
If you've ever felt caught between being present where you are and chasing what's next, this one's for you.
Keep persisting, friends. 💛

It's Giving Frustration
Hello and welcome back to Nevertheless, Shlee Persisted! We're talking about one of the least glamorous but most universal human experiences: frustration.
After last week's conversation about embracing trial and error, life decided to hand me a few opportunities to practice what I preached. In this episode, I'm sharing how I navigate frustration in professional settings without letting it take over my day.
We're also diving into something I've been thinking about a lot lately: protecting your energy. Have you ever walked into a room feeling great and left carrying emotions that weren't even yours? Turns out there's a psychological concept for that. Together, we'll explore how to separate your emotions from everyone else's, conduct an energy audit when life feels heavy, and remember that one frustrating moment doesn't deserve ownership of your entire day.
So grab your coffee, your crossword puzzle, or whatever is getting you through the week, and let's talk about frustration, boundaries, and protecting your peace.
