Summary:

Elisha Light Angel, host of "That's Just Human," shares six life lessons drawn from her theater background. She stresses the importance of clear communication, akin to stage managers' "time calls," where acknowledging instructions prevents misunderstandings in life and work.

Elisha encourages embracing the "stumble through," recognizing that everyone is learning and occasionally "pretending," especially when dealing with imposter syndrome, advocating for self-grace. She highlights that "no small roles, only small actors," meaning every individual's contribution, no matter how small, is crucial to the bigger picture.

When "anything can go wrong, it will go wrong," she advises practical problem-solving and adapting, even with imperfect "tape" fixes. Finally, the "show must go on" mentality promotes perseverance through life's challenges, urging a balance between pushing forward and allowing for rest and emotional processing. These theatrical principles offer a robust framework for navigating life with resilience and self-awareness.
