  • Doing Less to Do More with Sam Valentine

    In this week’s episode, I’m so excited to introduce you to Sam Valentine, an actress, podcaster, and entrepreneur. Sam is best known as One Broke Actress. She has the One Broke Actress blog, podcast, YouTube, Patreon and all the social medias. She moved to LA right after college with a Theatre Degree and in her words “with more conviction than she had dollars”. She is also the CEO of a new women-focused podcast production company called Fast Forward Productions.

    In this episode we talk about her high and sort of outlandish expectations of moving out to LA to pursue acting, how she continues to refocus on her acting when she gets off track here and there, why she believes having a side hustle as an actor or artist is a MUST, how she has, throughout the years, figured out that she is deserving of rest and how slowing down has helped her realize what she really wants out of life.

    I hope you enjoy our conversation and if anything that Sam says resonates with you, please share this episode on Instagram and tag me @levelupwithshay and Sam @onebrokeactress.
