Trust the Pause: Your Next Script Is Already Unfolding

Happy April! Are we already four months into the year!? Life moves fast. Often too fast. In the rush to keep up, it becomes easy to lose sight of something essential—yourself. The pause offers a powerful opportunity to realign with who you are and what truly matters. It is not about doing nothing. It is an active space where you check in with your heart: Are you living in a way that honors your values, your creative vision, and your dreams? Pauses break momentum long enough for you to c...

From Vision to Reality: The Making of Penelope's Story & How It All Started on Stage 32!

When I first set out to tell Penelope’s Story, a deeply personal film about the re-birth of a victim of human and sex trafficking, I had a powerful idea, but little understanding of what it would take to bring it to life. This story is so close to my heart, as the spiritual journey of my main protagonist, Penelope, reflects how I was able to overcome mental abuse. What started as a vision slowly transformed into a finished film that has been licensed for Amazon Prime Video and Fawesome TV, an...

How To Stop Creative Burnout: 3 Somatic Experiments That Can Help!

She sat at her large, dark pine desk, wrapped in her brown knit cardigan. Her shoulders were hunched, as usual. Her jaw was tight. “I’m running out of time. I need to maximise my time and do as much as I can. I need to hurry up and write,” she thought. But everything from the neck down felt like a ton of bricks. She felt beyond tired. Beyond depleted. And filled with nothing but dread about the day ahead. A day where she would likely produce nothing at all, or at least nothing she felt remotel...

Adolescence: Shaping Minds Through Socially Responsible Storytelling

Hi, Stage 32 Creatives! This month, I want to talk about the impact that Netflix's TV Series “Adolescence” is having all over the entertainment industry, especially on the audiences. The first time I heard about “Adolescence” was because my social media in Portugal was blowing up with people sharing about the series and the pressures of social media on teenagers. Also, people were sharing about the incel emoji culture, and I didn’t understand anything. That made me want to watch the show,...
