This week one of my favorite comedians, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, shares how she followed life’s breadcrumbs to turn her dreams into reality. First, Anjelah shares how her pursuit of an entertainment career began when she made the Oakland Raiders cheerleading squad. She continued to follow the breadcrumbs, leading her to a spot as an extra on the iconic show FRIENDS. An inspiring turning point came when, despite facing unemployment and financial struggles, she went viral with her now-famous nail salon video. Anjelah shows us how you can dream bigger than your reality and make it happen by following the breadcrumbs. Remember, your calling is always hiding in plain sight. You have the power to make your dreams a reality! This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode: “In order to see the breadcrumbs that God has laid out before you, you have to be focused on your path. Not your friend next to you, not the girl to the right, not the girl you follow on Instagram, not that new TikTok account, not any of that.” – Anjelah Johnson Reyes In this episode: How Anjelah’s entertainment career started What it was like to work on FRIENDS How one nail salon bit blew up Anjelah’s career Transforming your dreams into reality How to take a leap of faith in yourself Navigating life's breadcrumbs to success Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, a California native, launched her career as an Oakland Raiders cheerleader before diving into stand-up comedy.
