Stepping into an audition room with sweaty palms and spiraling thoughts? Been there. Every actor has. But what if there’s a better way to show up in high-stakes moments—one that feels less like survival mode and more like you at your best?

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a recent in-person callback where I ran a little mindset experiment on myself. Instead of trying to “book the job,” I chose to focus on embodying what I call the It Factor—a calm, grounded, magnetic presence. And even though I didn’t book it, the shift I experienced? Game-changing.

We’ll talk about:

• Why your body language in the waiting room speaks louder than your scene
• How to handle feedback without spiraling
• Letting go after auditions (and protecting your energy)
• And why intention always wins over expectation

Because real success isn’t just about booking the role—it’s about knowing you can show up for yourself, fully and powerfully, under pressure.

If you’re tired of letting nerves and self-doubt run the show, this one’s for you. Let’s change the way you walk into every room—from the inside out.

🎧 Listen now and start showing up like the lead you are.

Ever find yourself brushing off your wins while owning every little mistake? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving deep into something I call deferred success—a self-sabotaging pattern where we downplay our accomplishments and hand the credit to everyone (and everything) but ourselves.

I’ll share the exact moment I realized I’d been doing this for years—on set, in auditions, and even while coaching. From climbing the production ladder to hitting acting milestones, I noticed a theme: I could celebrate others, but not myself. And when I traced it back, it made total sense—growing up, success often came with a side of criticism. No wonder it feels hard to hold the win.

But we’re not here to stay stuck. I’ll walk you through my personal 30-day Celebration Challenge—a practice I’m doing right now to retrain my brain and finally feel safe celebrating my own growth. From mini wins to major milestones, I’ll show you how I’m building new neural pathways with intentional rituals and small, daily moments of joy.

If imposter syndrome or downplaying your success has been holding you back, this episode is your permission slip to own your brilliance—and start showing up like it.

🎧 Tune in, celebrate yourself, and if this hits home, share it with a fellow creative who needs this reminder too.

Ever feel like you’re right on the edge of a breakthrough… and then suddenly, fear pulls you back? That invisible wall you can’t quite name? This episode is for you.

In this raw and personal share, I’m diving deep into the internal glass ceiling—the one we build ourselves. Not the casting rejections, not the industry gatekeeping. But the unconscious limit we place on our own success.

I open up about my journey from emotional numbness to full expression. As an acting student, I could analyze scripts, break down characters—but I couldn’t feel. I was so disconnected from my emotions, and I had no idea why. Turns out, I had internalized beliefs from childhood that made feeling unsafe. And that made acting really hard.

After years of therapy and deep personal work, I finally broke through—but it shouldn’t take a decade to figure this out. That’s why I created the work I now share with actors: to help you overcome self-sabotage faster than I ever could.

Even now, as a coach, I face moments where fear creeps in again. Moments where I question: who am I to do this? And every time, I come back to this question:
“Why place a limit on your success?”

When we release the ceiling, we release the fear.

If something in you is ready to stretch into your next level, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out through the email in the show notes, and let’s talk about what’s really standing between you and the version of you who books the room.

The fear you’re feeling? It’s not a stop sign.
It’s a signal.
You’re moving in the right direction.
