About this episode

Annie Gonzalez discusses her journey of self-discovery and resilience in the entertainment industry.

From mall casting scams to stepping into the role of the iconic Jenni Rivera, Annie Gonzalez sits down with Wilmer and Freddy to break down how a kid from East L.A. rewired her nervous system, healed old wounds, and built an unshakable sense of self in an industry that kept telling her she was “too much” or “not enough.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
