We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Cristy Joy a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Cristy, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
My dream as a child was to act in a Disney show.
My parents did not believe in me, nor did they support this, in any way whatsoever. I grew up in a very dysfunctional and abusive family. I finally realized this and was able to escape home in South Florida and move to Los Angeles.
It was not an easy path. I did not know anybody, but I made it happen.
Not only did I act on a Disney show opposite of Olivia Rodrigo, but also in an HBO movie opposite an SNL star, another movie opposite a Twin Peaks star, and an Adult Swim series. I also appeared in Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” music video and in two episodes of America’s Got Talent.
Cristy, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My mission is to, not only inspire others to live their dreams & to love their lives. But to let them know that it’s possible, regardless of whatever current circumstances they may be in. Everyone knows that Hollywood is the toughest industry out there. If I can make my dreams happen there, then I know I can support others in making their dreams happen anywhere.
I love people. I love seeing people inspired. I love seeing people loving their lives. I love seeing people thriving. Anything that I can do to contribute to that, I am all about.
I am grateful to have the blessing of working in Hollywood for over a decade as a comedic actress.
I’ve always had this same message, of sharing love, but it was hidden under the guise of comedy.
A few years ago, I chose to branch out from Hollywood’s wing and to start sharing this message directly.
I just want everyone in the world to live their dreams & to love their lives. I believe it is possible. The more we align with our hearts & souls, the more we may accomplish this. It is my purpose to fully support this, as best as I possibly can.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My mission is for every human being to live their dreams & to love their life.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of my journey is knowing that I am able to impart the wisdom I’ve gained over the years to foster my own inner liberation & fulfillment, to support others in achieving their own version of it for themselves.
