We were lucky to catch up with Makenna Paige recently and have shared our conversation below.
Makenna , so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
I developed my confidence and self esteem from a lot of internal work. Spend time learning to love every part of you, forgive your past mistakes and learn from them. Ensure you’re a good person in every way you can be. I sleep well at night because I know to my soul I am kind and loving. I believe I can achieve anything I set my mind too, and I believe everyone else can too. Lastly, practicing non-judgement makes a huge difference in my internal and external perception of the world, anytime a negative thought comes into my mind I simply say to myself “next” and move onto my next thought. Always have good energy.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I’m currently focused on music and acting career. My song “Good Energy” by Kaige (me) comes out on 7/7/2024 and is about positivity in all situations and trusting that the universe will take care of you when you move with love, positive intentions, and good energy. My music video is also on YouTube now! “Good Energy Official Music Video” Kaige. I’m hoping this song brings positivity to anyone who needs it. We are all dealing with something, and sometimes staying positive is hard. Just stay positive and keep putting out good energy.
I’m currently in talks with an agency about getting signed thanks to Emerging Artist LA and look forward to representing women like me in the industry.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Looking back, three qualities that are impactful on my journey are my tenacity, my willingness to learn, and my positive energy. I believe moving with positive intentions and trusting the universe will always result in positive results.
What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
My biggest area of growth/improvement in the past 12 months has been learning to navigate difficult situations in the industry with grace and positivity. Remaining kind no matter the situation. I once read a saying that stated “be kind to everyone, even your enemies. The universe/God/whatever you believe in will take care of the karma for you.” Remaining kind and positive helps my mental health as well and keeps me moving forward opening more opportunities and saying yes to things I would have felt unprepared for in the past. Know that any opportunity that comes your way is being offered to you because you are ready.
