In this episode of Life Curious Women, host Ashley Nadine Lopez tells us all about her story and her own life curious journey! Ashley Nadine Lopez is an Actor, Life-Long learner and Multi-Passionate creative. Ashley never misses an opportunity to be vocal about what she believes in, help others in their success and find ways to grow in her own personal life. She hopes that she can use her acting platform to create impactful change for marginalized groups and tell some interesting stories along the way. This journey is just getting started! When she's not acting or podcasting, you can find Ashley bartending, exploring book stores or binging a television show at home in Brooklyn.


In this episode:

  • Ashley goes over how her love for performance began at an early age.
  • How being busy has always been a part of her daily life and now understands it based on her recent ADHD diagnosis.
  • Her experience wanting to study musical theater in college and not getting into the programs she wanted.
  • How her journey in college lead her to no longer pursue a musical theater career.
  • After graduating and taking time to commit, she actively decided to pursue a TV and Film career.
  • Her journey starting a creative career was difficult at first because there were no real markers of success and she dealt with a lot of imposter syndrome.
  • Eventually, after healing some limiting beliefs, she fully committed to this creative career and began treating acting like a business.
  • Now after adjusting her view on what success means in this career, she had found lots of progressive movement.
  • She talks about how she is now in a place where she is looking to find steady income outside of bartending to help support her creative career.
