Address your mindset.
As her roles got bigger so did the pressure, causing her performance to be negatively affected by feelings of unworthiness and fear. Looking to the actors she was inspired by for answers, she was surprised to learn they too suffered from negative inner dialogue no matter how talented, experienced or famous they were.
