  • #108 - The Parent's Role

    So often parents are asking me the same question: "How involved should I be"? I decided to dedicate a whole episode to it because I feel so strongly about this topic!

    PARENTS, LISTEN UP: YOU (yes, you) can be hurting your child's confidence, career, and chances without even knowing it!! You can also be helping and supporting and pushing them forward... where do YOU fall on the scale? Guys, this one is SO important, every actor parent should listen to this. 

    As always, reach out to me on INSTAGRAM or Facebook or TWITTER to let me know if I missed anything or if you have any thoughts or questions! As always, happy to help! THAT'S the point! :) 

    Thanks for listening,

  • #107 - The Importance of Trusting Your Gut

    An often overlooked situation in children and showbiz is the idea of choosing to do something even though your gut is telling you not to. In this episode, I talk about a personal situation I just experienced and how I knew I HAD to listen to my gut to do what felt uncomfortable and hard, but ultimately was the right decision.
