Self care, a bit of a buzz word at the moment, but how many of us actually know what our own individual self care needs look like? In this episode we explore ways of identifying those needs and how we can prioritise them, even when life gets stressful....Enjoy!  

In this episode, I explore the question “How do I want to be remembered?” Performers often let the theatre industry define their worth, but true legacy goes beyond roles and your CV.  I reflect on finding your own voice, separating your values from others’ expectations, exploring hobbies outside of performance as this is about crafting a life and identity that the spotlight can’t touch. I also speak into a topic someone brought to me, around navigating jealousy in friendships.
