Sonia Iris Lozada is featured on a VoyageLA Conversations article. She is a podcaster, poet and performer fascinated with perceptions of time, history, dreams, psychology, and the metaphysical. Most of all, she’s fascinated by interesting people, the guests on the podcast, Poetic Resurrection, Chica and the Man and Overheard at Chica’s Café, compliment the warmth, conversation, and genuine concern for what they have to say. As an actor for both stage and screen, she’s appeared in films such as Out of the Wild and TV shows like Bosch Legacy and many others, this plays a role in my ability to entice guests to share what they know and feel with listeners.
“Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I don’t know about good or bad luck. I believe in the adage that when you are ready, the teacher will appear. So many times, I had wondered, what am I doing wrong because I was working so hard and nothing was materializing from my efforts? Then I picked up meditating and practicing gratitude for what I had, and situations started flowing. Grieving Dreams was a podcast episode I recorded on the Poetic Resurrection podcast, regarding giving up on your dreams and passions because they weren’t working out.
What I realized was my perceptions of what I expected. I wanted to make a living out of being an actor, but the truth was I wasn’t going to and that was heartbreaking. I just changed my perception to when auditions and roles come along, I will do them. Letting go of this has been a godsend because now I’m working more acting gigs. Just changing my perception made a world of difference.”
