3 Steps To Getting Better Results

April 21, 2019 Acting Success Mindset, Become The Happiest Actor You Know, Change Your Beliefs 0

Ever feel like this? Exhausted, not booking, a bit lost or unsure, and maybe heading down a dark rabbit hole of negative thinking…

Even though you know better?
Even though you’re trying to stay positive?
Even though you’re trying keep the faith?

Does it seem like the more you try to do that, the more you feel like you are entering a dark tunnel without the light?

This was exactly the way one of my students admitted to feeling recently + she was actually thrilled to find out she wasn’t alone.

Not only did other actors feel this way, I told her that she basically described my February!

Yes, that’s right. I have plenty of down days too.

I had a month of great auditions + no bookings. I was definitely wondering, “where’s mine?”

I had assumed that the show I had been recurring on (Atypical on Netflix) was back in production, but I hadn’t heard anything about returning for another season.

And when things aren’t showing up the way you’d like, that dark hole can feel like it goes on forever, right?

So what do you do?

I’m all for feeling your feelings + going through them, instead of slapping a smiley face sticker over your pain.

So just know that when you are feeling down, you’re not alone. Reach out + talk to a friend. (Most likely an actor you know is feeling the same way).

Then, remind yourself that tomorrow is a new day + treat it as a blank white canvas.

When you shift your focus, it will help shift how you feel, and ultimately effect what you do.

And as you take a new action, from a better feeling place, the light in that dark tunnel will begin to appear.

This is exactly what I did. (more…)

April 14, 2019 Create Actor Abundance 1

Did you know there are 1440 minutes in every day? How are you spending most of them?

18 Reasons Why You Are A Warrior

April 7, 2019 Acting Success Mindset 9

My father would have been 99 this year. He was born in 1920, and passed away in 1997. I can’t believe he’s been gone over 20 years of my life.

We didn’t have iPhones back then, but we did have the old-school answering machine.

And one of his last messages to me was. “Keep going, sunshine.”

Friday was my birthday, and although, I can’t call my dad or mom and share my latest victory or have them talk to my kids, I feel them with me, deep in my heart.

I heard my father’s voice (as I often do), as I wrote this for you, the warrior. (while also doing the ugly cry)

You are among the bravest people I know, and on this birthday week, I wanted to give you a gift…

A gentle, loving, and hopefully powerful reminder to keep going.

Just as my dad told me, over 20 years ago.

Here are 18 reasons why you, my friend, are a warrior.

Turning Your Flaws Into Gold

March 31, 2019 Acting Success Mindset, Become The Happiest Actor You Know, Change Your Beliefs 0

Happy April! Happy Spring! Are you ready for a new beginning?

Are you ready to really step into the spotlight in your life + your career?

What does it take to truly shine like the brightest star?

From images we see on social media or in magazines, it often looks like perfection + flawlessness.

But if we are to tell stories that reflect humanity, then flawlessness and perfection are not a true reflection of who we really are.

There are many other stories that needs to be told.

So what if stepping into the spotlight in your life + career, meant stepping up + owning your imperfections and your flaws, not waiting to be ready or perfect or flawless, but showing up + rising up in a way that lets others see the real you…now?

What if the way was through the consciousness of love, where there are no limits?

In the Japanese culture broken objects are often repaired with gold. The flaw is seen as a unique piece of the object’s history, which adds to it’s beauty.

What if stepping into the spotlight meant taking all the flaws that you might try to hide (or the parts of you that may feel broken) and instead you loved them, revealed them + celebrated them?

What if you made this (more…)

No matter how I am feeling today, I am choosing to love whatever arises.

This way, any emotions you might have previously labeled as negative, you might now be able to see as just another opportunity for you to acknowledge, expand and love yourself even more.

How do you do that?

It could be as simple as reminding yourself this: (more…)

The 2 Biggest Factors That Keep You From Your Dreams

March 16, 2019 Acting Success Mindset 10

The two biggest factors that keep you from your dreams might actually surprise you.

They are…needing + wanting.

The definitions of want + need actually imply a lack of something deemed necessary, and are at the opposite energetic spectrum of feeling fulfilled + satisfied.

So, it might be time to take a closer look at what you are “needing + wanting” and ask yourself “Why does this matter so much to me?”

If you want to get somewhere in your career because you need it to define:

your value
your worth
your importance
or that you “really matter…”

Then what you want will continue to elude you. Why?

This kind of thinking actually puts you in a state of lack – needing some outer circumstance to give you the abundance you seek.

The reality is that it actually works the other way around.

Best selling author Abraham-Hicks states it so simply + yet profoundly with these seven words…..

Did you really get that? Until it doesn’t matter, it can’t be.

So in order to acquire anything in the physical world, (more…)

What To Do When What You Want Isn’t Showing Up: 3 Questions To Ask Yourself

March 3, 2019 Become The Happiest Actor You Know, Create Actor Abundance, Create An Inspired Life 6

I know it’s fun to have what you want show up, easily + effortlessly, but what happens when it’s not coming to you as fast as you had hoped?

When you want something + you doubt it, you add resistance to your own perfect path.

Sometimes when you see another having what it is you want, your ego may convince you that your timing is off, and that it’s not coming to you.

But that is just a game the critical mind likes to play to stay in control.

If there’s something you want, that isn’t coming, the best thing to do is (more…)

3 Powerful Statements To Invite In Abundance

February 24, 2019 Create Actor Abundance 1

We all want the conditions to change to bring us happiness. If we could only book the job, find the mate, win the Oscar….then, we’d feel better.

At the root of all that is feeling like somehow we are not enough, or worthy or valuable without the external condition we want being met.

I get it. I’ve been there. Heck, I was there 2 weeks ago when 2 auditions in one day turned into….booking neither.

We put our hearts + souls into every audition, and when it doesn’t turn into a booking, it can chip away at who we think we are.

Now, I love that I get to play for a living, and I was proud of the work I did in both of those auditions, but it got me thinking about how much we define ourselves by whether or not we book the job + how dangerous that can be to our self-esteem.

So, my #MondayMotivation is for you to begin the week knowing this…

Whether you booked a job this month (or year) or not.
Even if you had 5 auditions with no callbacks.
Even if you have friends whose lives look perfect on the outside.
Even if you’re going through a rough time.
Even if you just got your heart broken.
Even if you don’t know how you’re going to pay your rent.
Even if you’re feeling sad.
Even if you’re feeling frustrated.
Even if your big dreams haven’t come true yet.
Even if you wonder how they ever will.

Please know, that your happiness, doesn’t lie in the next “booking.”

Sure, it’s fun to book the job, but don’t spend your days between now + then waiting to be happy, to feel like you’re enough, to feel worthy or to feel valuable.

Your happiness and all those feelings are a gift you can give yourself TODAY.

No matter where you are in your life or career (even if it’s not quite where you thought you would be by now), please breathe this in…

How Small Shifts Can Equal Big Results

February 18, 2019 Create Actor Abundance 1

Sometimes it’s the smallest shift that can produce the biggest results.

I see it every day with the hundreds of amazing actors I have the privilege of mentoring in my course + in my private coaching community and I always marvel at how easily + quickly the inner breakthroughs invite in the outer breakthroughs.

If you’ve been putting in a lot of effort this year + already feeling exhausted, I want to help remind you of who you really are + encourage you to pause today, let go of limitation + breathe in the feelings of abundance.

You are abundant at your core.
Everything about you is abundant.

From the cells in your body to the neural pathways in your brain, to the taste buds on your tongue, you are made up of pure abundance.

You are worthy of your biggest dreams + you have the ability to magnetize what you want towards you.

It all begins with your emotions. since what you feel, you attract + what you imagine, you become.

Anything you were taught growing up about money or success that isn’t in alignment with pure + total abundance, you can take a moment, to simply breathe, release + let go of it all now.

Do this quick breathing + expansion exercise with me now… (more…)
