SURVIVING HARD WORK AND Learning to Love Life
Bristol's search for connection led to a rapid rise in the film business and her mission to inspire people to engage more deeply with the world one film at a time. Somewhere along the way she confused her worth with work and found herself worshipping at the altar of hard work and external validation. Overwhelmed by a sense of disconnection, Bristol underwent what she calls a “soul-hijacking.”
