What does it mean to feel truly supported as an artist, not only in times of crisis but throughout one's creative career? In our Season 3 premiere, Jennifer sits down with Elena Muslar — executive coach, educator, arts administrator, and managing director of the Entertainment Community Fund. Elena breaks down how the ECF can assist throughout one's creative journey and shares resources that empower artists to embrace their worth, achieve growth, and pursue their dreams. Together, they encourage artists to view asking for help as a right, not a last resort, reframing support as a strength, and positioning stability and self-care as essential for lasting growth. They challenge us to redefine success and resilience through a holistic approach, reminding all of us that in choosing the creative life, we deserve a community that sees, values, and stands by us every step of the way.  Elena Muslar Bio: (She/Her), Managing Director of The Career Center, joined the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund) in 2023.
