Mediation and Manifestation
Ascending Actress Lucy Barrett To New Heights Australian actress, Lucy Barrett, putting good energy into the universe, opens the door for a television series opportunity and more. Lucy Barrett began her acting career in Australia, making appearances as Hayley Hahn in Neighbours (2014-2018), Vita in Co-Ed (2018), and Isabella Webb in Bloom (2020). In 2022, she made her Hollywood debut portraying Kaela Danson in the reboot series of Charmed. Jackson: Can you share your experience of being cast for the Charmed Reboot? Which is fantastic, and congratulations! Barrett: Thanks so much! The whole experience has been amazing. It was super quick! I think I got the audition on a Thursday, put the tape down on a Friday, and got a call on Monday to hear that I’d be testing the next day. I did the test, met with the girls (co-stars), and then I think it was within two days when I received the call that I got the role. Jackson: It was destined for you! That’s amazing! How can you correlate the scripted manifestation with real-life manifestation? Barrett: I think if we meditate on anything enough, the universe has a funny way of giving us exactly what we need! In terms of my journey to getting this role, I really had to meditate on it. I didn’t know what the role would be, but I knew that I would get a “series” regular job in the US that would be the right one to begin my career here. Many successful Australian actresses such as Madeleine Madden, Adelaide Kane, and Margot Robbie have flourished in the United States. Life is going well for Lucy, but she does miss her home. She is an only child and grew close to her friends in Melbourne. “Moving to LA has been challenging, but I know I need to be here right now to focus on acting,” said Lucy. Lucy plans to continue reaching people on the screens. She aspires to make a global impact as a humanitarian and to promote self-love to members of the LGBTQ+ that struggle in society. “I’ve always been publicly open about my sexuality,” said Lucy. “I have a very supportive family!” Lucy recalls that she “came out” when she was thirteen. According to TheCultureTravel. com, Australia is a country with a largely open-minded population. Lucy mentions that it was never an issue of “coming out” and is thankful for her experience because there are members of the LGBTQ community across the globe that are victims of hate crimes, homophobia, and rejection, not only in the outside world but in their own homes. Jackson: What would be your advice to those who don’t have it easy to “come out?” Barrett: That it’s never too late to be unapologetically yourself, and if you need to cut toxic people out of your life to survive, you can do it! Jackson: What is the ultimate goal for Lucy Barrett? Barrett: Umm, to continue teaching kids. Before coming here, I taught acting in classrooms to children. I have a few private students that I still mentor. My goal is to teach children not only how to take up space as actors but about the importance of self-love, confidence, and self-esteem. I would like my platform to grow to a level where I can reach a much larger scale of children than just a few classrooms at a time. It’s not something that’s really taught in school, and I think implementing these lessons early on could make a big difference in how the next generation moves through the world as adults.
