“I love every day of my life”: Isn’t that the dream for many of us? Or all of us? On this episode of the Second Act Actors podcast, I talk with actress and supply teacher Alicia about teaching, acting, career advice and building a life that works for you. 

Alicia tells me about her childhood which was full of creative passions, and how that translated into graduating as a teacher. We discuss one of the most common dilemmas for aspiring actors and performers: Should you go for the risky career that you love, or the stable income that’s perhaps not always been your dream? Alicia tells me how she balanced it all out and what she thinks of her career now. 

Later in the episode, Alicia and I talk about the problems of body image and self-esteem for actors and how age helps us to be more resilient about rejection and criticism. Alicia tells me her exciting plans for the future and gives her final words of wisdom for actors trying to break into the industry.
