  • This is The Guardian.

  • Today, is it safe to visit the U.S.?

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • So I started off acting when I was in my early 20s.

  • I was working in film and television and then I own.

  • You were very successful, right?

  • I mean, I wouldn't say that, but I was a working actress.

  • So in that world, I guess you can say that successful.

  • But then I actually transitioned.

  • I used to own bars and nightclubs.

  • So I went from film and television to bars and nightclubs to completely transitioning my life into health and wellness.

  • And that's what I'm dedicated to now.

  • I spoke to Jasmine Mooney a couple of days ago from her home in Vancouver.

  • She works for a company selling fancy water infused with mushrooms, ketones, something called Neutropics.

  • Anyway, it's based in LA and Jasmine used to commute back and forth from Canada all the time,

  • though not without visa hassles.

  • One of my letters from my employer was missing a proper letterhead and that was why I originally got denied.

  • Like it was something so minor to the point where he's like, you can come back tomorrow.

  • I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but now I realize how big of a deal it is.

  • Once you get one denial, it stays on your record and that just snowballs into many problems down the line.
