Are you a self sabotager? It's time to get out of your own way! In this intimate conversation, actress and writer Nadine Velazquez shares how a second chance made her life long dreams come true: Lacking drive, passion, and a sense of self, Nadine was in a dark time in her life. But, with an extraordinary turn of events, and help from the renown Will Smith, she grabbed the chance, put in the work, and showed up to fulfill her greatest dreams and aspirations.

In this episode, Nadine shares her story in-depth: from her self-sabotaging habits that led to her being fired from a major role (cast opposite of Will Smith), to grabbing the chance of a lifetime. Nadine discusses that even though it was far from easy, she showed up, did the work, and dug deep to get it done. The lack of purpose that she experienced had been replaced by a new, purposeful drive and now she's writing her own show with Will Smith as the executive producer.

Second chances are game changers!

Nadine Velazquez is an actress with an extensive resume on television and film. Her career began with a fun and sexy role on the hit comedy show My Name is Earl. She’s known for starring in other hits such as, Real Husbands of Hollywood, Major Crimes, and opposite Denzel Washington in the film, Flight.
