We were lucky to catch up with Angelina Lutsenko recently and have shared our conversation below.

Angelina, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?

Detachment, willingness and a relentless trust in yourself. Wake up every day and try your absolute best. Don’t try to figure out how it will happen for you. Don’t focus on how you will bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Just do what you need to do each day. Daydream about what you want. Act like what you want. Live like what you want.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My journalism background led me to write for a magazine, where I soon started managing their social media and working with clients to execute their paid campaign strategies. From there, I became this brand’s business development manager. When I’m not working with clients on their marketing plans, you’ll catch me practicing my ballroom routines or teaching at my local dance studio.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Don’t quit. I had to unlearn this. You HAVE to quit…sometimes. When your aspirations, dreams and desires start bringing you more stress than fulfillment, Take the hint. Pivot. Turn towards what feels effortless, right, good to you, fulfilling. We are ever-evolving so surely we must evolve, pivot, shift, adjust.

Have you ever had to pivot?

After years of pursuing acting in Los Angeles, I realized that not only does this industry bring me stress, but it’s bringing out the worst in me. It no longer serves me, my purpose or is no longer a part of my journey. Everything in life is meant to bring you closer to where you are meant to be as long as you can listen to your heart. To the universe. It will pull you and hint to you where you need to go and what steps to take next. Sometimes we must be brave enough to listen.
