This was a tough decision to make, but I know it is right. I love y'all so much. UPDATE SINCE FILMING THIS VIDEO: I talked to all of my agents. I have officially let go my theatrical representation (besides the fact my manager could still potentially submit me for whatever). My commercial agents whom I LOVE agreed to keep me on their roster for union projects and very high paying projects only. These will likely only pop up once a month ish. It feels good to know every audition will be worth my time moving forward, even though they will be very few. Don't worry, the acting content will not stop on this channel. If anything, now I can be COMPLETELY honest about the acting world with no fear of repercussion. And who knows, maybe one day the perfect TV/film opportunity will COME to me instead of me having to CHASE it. That would sure be nice. I am excited for y'all to see what we have in the works in the hosting world, though. Prayers it all works out would be amazing, because what we have would be HUGE. Career changing. My dream of being the next Jojo Gaines would be a reality, haha. Dream big, friends. I love y'all so dang much.

I know how hard it can be to majorly change career paths after been set for so long. I spent pretty much my entire life setting myself up for teaching. I enjoy nothing more than literature and teaching and lesson planning. But I had a major physical and mental breakdown during student teaching that led me to graduate with my English, Comm degree instead of teaching licensure. It took a year to take back my physical and mental health. And now I work in retail. I never thought retail was something I would do post-grad but plot twist: I LOVE it! I go to work every day loving what I do and the environment I work for. I've been at my new job for less than 6 months and am likely going to get promoted for the second time--opening up the door to potential transfer/cross country moves. I did not imagine my like this way at all but I'm so happy and content where I'm at. Plus, it gives me space to pursue things I want like trying to start a youtube and bookstagram. You constantly inspire me and I hope someday I can be a content creator and entrepreneur like you. I appreciate your honesty and desire to move forward. You are killing it and that's amazing! I know its hard, but like you said, the universe can bring us to amazing places through interesting journeys. I'm so glad I found you and your platform. I am so proud to be part of your virtual friend group

Hi! I feel you... I grew up thinking I would become a doctor... Well I was conditioned to think that was what I wanted... I got into Med School and I was miserable. I got severe anxiety and I started to fall behind. So I dropped out. Now I'm enrolled in classes that will teach me about marketing and event organisation and I feel like I'm finally in my element. I don't know how things are going to go...Covid is not making it any easier either, but at least now I'm happy. Best of luck for everything!❤️

When you know you know. You just do it for you. It is just the right time. I worked for Target for 18 years and then retired. I just did it and felt it was time and knew it. I cried a lot and missed my job and co workers at first. But then after a while I did not miss the job just the co workers. But then realized I can always go and visit with them they are still there. I do not regret leaving it really was the right decision. In your heart you know it and can feel it.

Wishing you the best!! I just ended my career in higher ed, and it was SUCH a difficult choice to make. You really articulated so many emotions I’ve had a hard time saying, but what really stuck out to me was you saying you’ll grow more by stepping away from acting, and that’s how I feel about my current situation too. I did my best for the 10 years I tried higher ed, and it’s like being in an abusive relationship, and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I’ve been grieving, but I think so many other people can relate to a major life change right now. Thanks for sharing this important decision with us! You’ll do great no matter what!

I love how open you are on this channel, you’re truly an inspiration! I’m feeling that exact same way about life in general right now, as I’m sure a lot of people are. Ive always had this dream to go to college, med school and become a pediatrician. It’s not like I want to give up on it but I also feel it’s so much pressure on myself to be this perfect human being, sacrificing time (friends & family and fun) to be successful in college. And then theirs the fact that I’m only 19 years old, so how do I really know what I want to do for the rest of my life or what even I’m capable of doing. I know I’m so young, yet I feel like I’ve already put so much time & effort in this dream and idk if I can handle another many, many years to finally actually accomplish it! Anyway, I could see the toll acting life has been taking on you, and they say sometimes you have to let the things you love go and if they are meant to be they will come back to you. I love ya Michel, thanks for inspiring me🤍

Michel, I´m honestly so glad for you! Just from the way you talked about acting the past few months, I had gotten a feeling that you haven´t really enjoyed it as much as you used to. I truly wish you all the best and as you said, who knows, maybe some day an amazing opportunity might pop up that makes you fall in love with acting/ the acting world all over again. Lots of love, Marie

I totally hear you shame 🤗 that's how I felt when I decided to give up singing. It sucks but great that you have found some other thing that can fulfil you in place on your "first love" aka acting. You gotta follow your gut at the end of the day, even if it temporarily breaks your heart. Well done for being brave, you will get through it 🙏🤗

I know this is an older video but this perfectly explains and articulates the same feelings I went through; describing it as a breakup, your heart beginning to resent it, etc... Thanks for posting this. You've probably realized this in the year since but your acting life will always be part of your identity and the many pieces that make up who you are. The journey continues... Thank you!

I agree that if something feels like work it becomes less enjoyable. I feel that way about baking, I had a small business and started to dread doing orders so I stopped. This channel is awesome, I love your videos and look forward to them. I admire you for knowing what you want and going for it. I am trying to do the same.

Michel you are so brave and strong. Sounds like you are making this decision after long introspection. It will be so good for lowering your stress level too- which could impact your health! God Bless. You can do it.

I’m also an actor and am literally getting ready to film a self tape while watching this video. I can say that I have also felt all of these feelings, 100%, so many times in my decade of chasing the dream. The lack of respect for actors still astonishes me every day, and it’s unfortunate that there doesn’t seem like a change is coming. Up until a year ago I had thought about quitting acting maybe twice a year every year for perhaps three years. Then I met a group of women, also actors, who said you know what, let’s make our own content. That small act gave me a feeling of control in a world where I felt like a pawn on the chessboard. And right before quarantine I really committed to ramping up my hustle, splitting my time between the LA and SF market, editing my reel, getting better representation-all to have the momentum paused by a global pandemic. It was absolutely serendipitous though because the time off forced me to look at whether or not this was a life I actually wanted, and not just a life that I was chasing because me ten years ago fell in love with the craft. I also rediscovered old hobbies, and now have a small Etsy shop. I can now hold my head up high and define myself as an artist, someone in control of her craft. Long story short and moral of this lengthy comment is that I absolutely respect your decision, I know firsthand how difficult of a decision it must have been, and I know you will not stop doing great things.
