Hi everyone!
My name is Matt, I am a performer/drama coach. I will try and condense this situation, as it is very long-winded. So here it goes, Over the last three years, I think, I had a lot of personal issues going on, ranging from, going through a house fire in 2020 while going through the first wave of the pandemic, police investigation, caring for a parent, having to go back to education in order to top off my current degree, experienced losing a parent while finishing off my degree and now still caring for said parent, while doing 101 things mixing with looking for work.
On the positive side, I will be starting a short business course, to hopefully get an idea on its feet to facilitate/teach a type of workshop, which I feel would benefit not only the people that I have catered this idea but all individuals in every community, as I was encouraged to start this idea, as it is greatly needed, and not many people have started this supposed idea, so I am going at it 'hammer and tong'. I start this course in a couple of weeks and I am very excited about it. However, I am not looking for solid advice, just to relate and to talk, as I am sure we have all experienced something, being a performer, while looking for work and with other things as well,
Thank you for your time and listen to my ramblings.
