Send us a text

“I've found a lot of magic and fun in the [surrender]. Just working to really create something in a moment or a scene or in a role, where I'm trying to make my co-star laugh, there's so much more lightness about it. It's a good life lesson.”

Actress Jolie Jenkins talks to Suzanne about going with the flow, surrendering to the process, and to surrendering life in general.
