During that show, the former guidance counselor, also shared more about following her heart and pursuing a career in music, adding “Following a dream feels a lot like walking a tightrope…it is absolutely not comfortable, it’s terrifying and exhausting most of the time, but the thrill of following something bigger than yourself is absolutely worth risking it all for.”
