When you “play the plan” of a scene, you lose the truth that makes your work magnetic. In this Wednesday Wisdom, Alyshia Ochse breaks down how mirror neurons prove that what you feel on screen isn’t the point — it’s what the audience feels that matters.

Inspired by her conversation with actor Mark Pellegrino, Alyshia explores why curiosity, actionable thoughts, and emotional specificity ignite both performance and connection.

Learn how to:

• Ditch your “feelings button” and focus on discovery
• Use mirror neurons to create real connection on screen
• Stay alive in the moment — not trapped in your plan

There’s always time to get better. Swing big. Be interested. Let your subconscious come out and play.
