Pop Therapy

Reinvention, Risk & Running Towards the Dream with Lola Berry

Pop Therapy

Show Notes

Today on Pop Therapy, I’m joined by my friend, the endlessly multi-hyphenate Lola Berry - actor, author, podcaster, wellness advocate and one of Australia’s most recognisable media personalities.

You might know Lola from her hugely successful podcast Fearlessly Failing, her ELEVEN books, or her vibrant career in health and wellness… but lately, she’s been documenting a whole new chapter: chasing an acting career in LA. From audition highs and confidence crashes to navigating the unpredictability of Hollywood, Lola shares the reality of starting again - publicly, vulnerably and honestly.

We talk about ambition, reinvention, failure, purpose, burnout, identity, creativity and why sometimes the bravest thing you can do is follow the thing that scares you.

This is a conversation about backing yourself before you feel ready… and what happens when you stop waiting for permission to go after the life you actually want.

You can find Lola on IG at @yummololaberry or via her website: www.lolaberry.com
