Who the heck am I, right? Well I'm a "multi-potentialite" artist just like you.
First, I'm an LA-based TV writer + performer whose credits include truTV's Almost Genius, IFC’s Comedy Crib, College Humor (w/Reggie Watts), Funny Or Die, NYLON, Playboy, NY Magazine. I also recently optioned an animated series for Refinery29 and TBS’s RIOT Lab! Plus I work as a voiceover artist for Toys r Us and Nickelodeon.
Second, I moonlight as a burlesque performer under the stage name, Anna Shevitz! Yup, shakin' my feminist boobies is part of my "multi-potentialite" mission too!
But a few years ago, I was mostly a depressed artist with no direction, having panic attacks while waiting tables. I always had a sense I was supposed to help make the world less shitty so I took the leap and got certified as an ICF licensed coach. That's when I realized that my artist's mission wasn't just to MAKE ART but to help others MAKE THEIRS. Cuz I believe art is gonna save the world. So I am here to save artists.

I'm a big believer that as artists we need to keep as healthy to keep doing the work we were born to do. Here's a radical idea: You don't need to be in a state of mental unwellness to do good work. Below are articles I've written that explain more.
