"Dive into it, go with the flow, make a splash. What’s the harm in going for a swim?”

In this episode, I chat with Sabrina Rose, a professional mermaid at Aquarium Restaurant, as she shares her unique journey from aspiring marine biologist to living her dream as a mermaid performer. Sabrina opens up about her childhood near the water in Michigan, how a chance encounter with Keith Urban set her on a new and unexpected path, and her big shift from music and audio engineering to mermaiding.

We discuss the importance of letting go of rigid career expectations, how Sabrina found purpose in the water, and why she believes your job should never define you. Sabrina also reflects on her experiences with building a business, finding community, and staying true to her passion, no matter how unconventional it may seem.
