In this episode of Call Sheet Confessions, host Mia LePage sits down with professional dancer, choreographer, and movement director Caroline Cullers for a candid look at how she went from quitting dance for three years and planning to study engineering… to movement directing Snoop Dogg’s short film, dancing for Diana Ross at the Hollywood Bowl, performing in European football stadiums, and touring the world.

From growing up a math-loving Austin nerd who “accidentally” chose dance over soccer, to nearly walking away from the industry for good after a pandemic shutdown and a canceled tour, Caroline’s story is a playbook in trusting your gut, honoring the “God pull,” and letting faith lead you into rooms you didn’t even know existed.

Before the Snoop set calls, Juventus stadium gigs, and viral Meta glasses concept videos, Caroline opens up about being the youngest of three in ultra-competitive Texas schools, falling in love with choreography in high school drill team, almost going to Clemson for engineering, and what it felt like to move to LA at 18, see everything at once… and decide it was too much.

Together, Mia and Caroline dive into:

Austin roots, sports kid to studio kid – being thrown into every sport to burn off energy, falling in love with both soccer and dance, and the moment her parents finally said, “You have to choose.”

Engineering brain, dancer heart – taking all AP classes, loving math and science, almost committing to Clemson for engineering, and why school never felt like the enemy of creativity.

Quitting dance (for real) during the pandemic – getting a scholarship to a now-closed LA dance school, moving downtown at 18, seeing the industry up close… and deciding it was not the life she wanted.

The “God pull” back to LA – moving home to Austin, working at a lash salon, getting barre-certified and doing online school at Purdue, yet feeling deep down that her purpose still lived in Los Angeles.

The leap: quitting her job with zero bookings – the exact moment she emailed her hot yoga studio from a Texas dance convention to quit, lost the convention check to a hurricane… and somehow stayed totally calm.

Nine-day miracle run – the wild timeline where, within days of quitting, she booked a Victoria Justice music video, a tour with Marco Antonio Solís, and a performance in Italy at the Juventus stadium with artist Tia Tia—all through relationships and reputation.

Advice for aspiring dancers & LA dreamers – why there’s no single “right” path, how to honor your own timing, and why your relationships, gratitude, and work ethic matter infinitely more than your follower count.

Living the dream, but letting it evolve – why Caroline genuinely feels like she’s living her dream now, how her definition of success keeps shifting, and why freedom, joy, and good people around her are the real endgame.

🎬 You can quit, pivot, and still come back stronger. You don’t need a perfect plan—you need faith, community, and the courage to jump before all the answers appear.

In this episode of Call Sheet Confessions, host Mia LePage sits down with Kailey – Philly-born former stylist turned artist & athlete relations lead at a live streaming production company – for a raw, no-fluff look at what it actually takes to survive and thrive in a male-dominated entertainment world while getting sober, staying grounded, and loving the chaos.

From moving to LA at 19 to get sober, to accidentally talking herself into a promotion, to running 16+ hour production days between Radio City Music Hall and NBA All-Star Weekend, Kailey’s story is a blueprint for young women who refuse to sit at a desk, know they’re “people smart,” and want to turn that into a real career.

Before live streaming tours, award shows, and album release parties, Kailey opens up about growing up in Philly, nannying kids with special needs, trying to study criminology to join the FBI, and realizing her superpower wasn’t textbooks—it was people.

Together, Mia and Kailey dive into:

Philly roots, LA restart – moving cross-country, growing up loud and energetic, and realizing she was never built for a 9–5 behind a desk

From boutiques to celebrity styling – working retail on Abbot Kinney & in Santa Monica, getting randomly DMed into an assistant role, and falling into styling via closet organizing, events, and brand deals

One client that changed everything – how landing a single celebrity client put her name “in the game,” and what it really takes to hold your ground on rates, travel, and boundaries as a 22-year-old woman

Being young, female, and taken seriously – walking into male-dominated rooms as the only woman, owning her direct “Philly” communication style in an LA world that sugarcoats, and why confidence changes the whole conversation

Constructive criticism as a love language – letting mentors and her Head of Production “hold her to it,” studying powerful women COOs in the room, and treating feedback as proof people care about her growth

From assistant to running point – getting hired on the crypto side of a startup, speaking up in the wrong room at the right time, and accidentally pitching herself into a senior role on the social side after a Love Island project

Future of live streaming vs TV – why she thinks Twitch & Kick are on a straight incline, how Amazon’s integration will change how we shop on stream, and why organic product placement beats in-your-face ads

Crafty Corner & set survival kit – cucumbers with salt over snacks, coffee non-negotiables, the “diaper bag” her assistant built (peppermint hand sanitizer, meds, gum, pen, highlighter, face spray, chapstick, hair ties, and more)

Industry icks & betrayal list – begging for contracts to get signed, delays on payments and decisions, cold emails that drain her soul, and the chaos of managing 3,000–4,000 texts plus dozens of calls a day

Getting fired, then leveling up – the Santa Monica swimwear content “scandal,” an unprofessional boss, and how that firing immediately turned into her first real styling assistant setup and work trips to Vegas

Advice for 19-year-old you – don’t rush into living alone, stop lying about who you work with, start small, and choose being driven, honest, and accountable over looking like you “made it” on Instagram

Living your dream (for real) – what long-term success looks like for her now, how sobriety made this life possible, and staying grounded while being fully desensitized to mansions, money, and celebrities

In this episode of Call Sheet Confessions, host Mia LePage sits down with creative director, multi-hyphenate, and viral “Sign My Lens” mastermind Izzy for a raw, behind-the-scenes look at how she went from iMovie warrior and ASMR chaos gremlin… to Times Square billboards, the Grammys red carpet, and now the Oscars.

From painting on her face and screaming into a camera at 16, to interning at a production studio in high school, to building a creative career across music, fashion, and lifestyle campaigns, her journey is a blueprint for self-made storytellers who refuse to wait for permission.

Before the viral Grammys sign and Recording Academy calls, Izzy opens up about being the “weird” entrepreneurial kid who left school midday to work, binging early Asian YouTubers to learn production, and turning free prom dresses and Famous Footwear shoes into real brand partnerships by making herself—and her ideas—impossible to ignore.

Together, Mia and Izzy dive into:

Philly roots & early hustle – leaving high school midday to work at 16, leading student government, and embracing being “slightly weird” and entrepreneurial from day one

Representation and Asian YouTube era – growing up with no local representation, finding JK Films, David So, Timothy DeLaGhetto, Wong Fu, and deciding to document her own journey

From ASMR chaos to series queen – painting her face, screaming at the camera, and turning unhinged ASMR into viral content and early series like full-time creative, part-time student and Izzy Learns Things

Learning production before graduation – landing a high school internship at Cucinara Productions (now BTS Studios), jumping from iMovie to Adobe Premiere, and getting thrown real-client work editing for Cole Hamels’ daughter

Turning wants into work – pitching prom dress brands and Famous Footwear, trading great storytelling and visuals for product, and realizing everything she wants can be “paid for” with intentional content

What a real call sheet looks like – admin mornings, afternoon creative sprints, prospecting for new leads, and why she treats production and red carpet days like game days (matcha, stretching, and all)

Inside the Grammys “Sign My Lens” phenomenon – getting the Recording Academy call, pitching seven concepts in three hours, improvising with $1 Dollar Tree and Michael’s acrylic frames, and still getting every single person on the carpet to sign

Billie Eilish, Times Square, and pressure diamonds – how one sweet interaction and consistent virality changed the exposure on her work, and why pressure only works if your foundation is solid

Big budget vs big ideas – shooting a full documentary on $10k, why equipment is a luxury (not a requirement), and how done beats perfect every single time

Virality myths & brand trust – why “I just want to go viral” is her industry ick, how virality without infrastructure means nothing, and why she focuses on brand trust and long-term IP instead of chasing the algorithm

Freelancing is “unstable”? Cap. – how she’s been an entrepreneur since 16, built retainer-based income, and why if you’re capped financially, it’s often a positioning problem, not a talent problem

🎬 You don’t need permission, a huge budget, or a perfect plan. You need taste, tenacity, and the courage to pitch big ideas before you feel ready.
