Betty shares how she always knew she would move to New York and how that certainty stayed with her through every chapter of the journey. We also talk about the internal challenges that come with pursuing that path—anxiety, self-image, fear, and doing the work to move through those struggles in order to feel free in yourself and in your art.

A beautiful conversation about trusting your instincts, facing your inner battles, and giving yourself permission to fully take up space.

The quiet seasons.

The survival jobs.

The feeling of watching everyone else move forward while you feel completely stuck.

I open up about burnout, losing motivation, feeling disconnected from acting, and the guilt that comes from thinking you should be “doing more” every second of the day.

But I also talk about something I’m finally starting to understand: sometimes stepping away, living life, and allowing yourself to be human is exactly what brings you back to your craft.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt invisible, or wondered if you’re falling behind — this episode is for you.

We talk a lot about life circumstances that force you to grow up quickly, take on responsibility early, and figure things out as you go. Justin opens up about how theater became more than just performing — it became a way to understand real-life emotions, relationships, and lessons about himself.

We also dive into the reality of continuing to pursue theater even though it isn’t always the most stable career path, and what it means to stick with something purely for the love of the craft.

And of course… plenty of chaotic banter along the way

In this episode, I talk about the fear of being judged — and how it can quietly stop us from going after what we actually want. The opinions, the imagined criticism, the pressure to be seen a certain way.

But the real question is: what happens if you let that fear win?

What if 10 or 20 years pass, and you realize no one was paying as much attention as you thought… and you never went for it?

We talk about the pressure of carving out your own identity, the importance of trusting your value as an artist, and how community, connection, and love for the craft can keep you grounded in such a competitive space.

This conversation is about more than acting and filmmaking—it’s about learning how to stay true to yourself while building the career you actually want.

In this episode, I get honest about how much “applause” can influence the choices we make—and how easy it is to lose sight of what actually matters.

I also talk about something we don’t normalize enough: pausing.

Stepping back, not because you’re failing—but because you want to make sure you’re still aligned with your reasons.

Because the real question is… would you keep going without the applause?

In this inspiring episode of Acting On It, I sit down with fellow actor EB to explore how the stage became her sanctuary. With unwavering confidence and a deep sense of purpose, EB shares how she has always known she was meant to perform—feeling most at home the moment she steps into the light.

Growing up in a challenging environment, EB discovered theater as a space for self-expression, resilience, and belonging. Through performance, she built not only her craft but also a sense of safety and identity that continues to shape her journey today.

She also offers insight into her unique process of developing characters. Though her methods sometimes cause others to doubt her, EB remains steadfast—trusting her instincts and knowing she will always find her way to the truth of a role.

This episode is a powerful testament to self-belief, artistic integrity, and the transformative power of storytelling.

Casting directors, acting teachers, working actors, agents… all telling you different things about what you “should” be doing.

Take classes. Don’t take classes.

Get an agent now. Wait until you’re ready.

Focus on training. Just start auditioning.

At some point, it stops being helpful and just becomes confusing.

I share a personal experience of when I was deciding whether or not to join a conservatory, and how the advice I got actually made the decision harder—not easier.

This episode is about what happens when you start relying too much on other people’s opinions, how that can disconnect you from your own instincts, and why learning to trust yourself is one of the hardest—but most important—parts of this industry.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “wrong” because your path looks different from someone else’s, you’re not alone.

Mike grew up with a strong sense of discipline — something that was instilled in him early through his parents and sports. That mindset followed him into every area of his life: whatever he does, he does it at 100%.

But for a long time, that drive was pointed toward a path that wasn’t fully his.

He pursued the “safe” route, stepping into a corporate career — until he realized he was living someone else’s version of success.

So he walked away.

In this conversation, we talk about the decision to leave stability behind, the role discipline plays in chasing a creative career, and why not focusing on the risk of instability actually helped him move forward faster.

This episode is honest, motivating, and a reminder of what can happen when you fully commit to what you want.

Claudia also shares her journey from Mexico to New York, her experience working in both countries, and what it’s really like to pursue acting across cultures.

In this solo episode, I reflect on the strange loop between belief and action, and how pursuing acting forced me to question the limits I had placed on myself.

I talk about the idea that belief often has to come before proof, the role of neuroplasticity in shaping the stories we tell ourselves, and why the paths we think we’re supposed to follow might not be the only ones that exist.

Because every path that exists today was created by someone doing it for the first time.

And sometimes the biggest shift isn’t suddenly becoming confident — it’s simply allowing yourself to consider that the thing you want might actually be possible for you.

As a child, she experienced early success at the highest level. But as any actor knows, a career isn’t defined by one moment — it’s defined by what comes after.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to sustain an acting career long-term. The unpredictable nature of the industry. The survival jobs that fund the dream. The emotional resilience required when momentum slows down. And the patience it takes to stay committed when the timeline doesn’t look the way you imagined.

This conversation is about longevity. About rebuilding. About staying in the game.

Because sometimes Broadway isn’t the destination.

It’s just the start.

Why does everyone else seem ahead? Why does their timeline look better? Why does their confidence look effortless?

I share how comparison has shown up in my acting career, how it’s affected my confidence, and the subtle ways it stops us from acting on our dreams. We talk about timelines, self-worth, social media, and the dangerous illusion that someone else’s success means there’s less room for you.

If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or like you’re missing your moment — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore where that presence comes from — the upbringing, mindset, and environments that helped her feel secure enough to fully inhabit herself on stage. We dive into embodiment in acting, feeling safe in your own skin, and what it really takes to show up without shrinking.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, I talk about where that belief comes from, how it shaped my relationship with my body, and how it showed up in my acting journey. From staying under the radar and learning how to be “acceptable,” to realizing I couldn’t go after what I wanted without confronting how I felt about myself.

This isn’t a “just love yourself” episode. It’s an honest conversation about unlearning, retiring the old brain that kept you safe, and doing the thing anyway — even when you don’t feel ready or worthy yet.

In this episode of Acting On It, I sit down with Cecilia Wisky to talk about her journey from Argentina to New York, the moments of doubt before choosing acting fully, and the courage it takes to begin again in a new place.

We talk about:

• Knowing when a dream is asking more of you
• Fear, timing, and the internal “yes” that changes everything
• What it really feels like to start over — creatively and personally
• Letting go of who you were to step into who you’re becoming

This conversation is for anyone standing at the edge of a decision, wondering if it’s finally time to act.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s not.

The hardest part is showing up every day after the decision — without applause, without clarity, without instant results.

This episode explores how overwhelm, pressure, and unrealistic expectations kill momentum — and why small, consistent action is the only real antidote.

Not everything.

Not perfection.

Just movement.

We talk about what it means to pursue acting on a nontraditional timeline, navigating the industry when you don’t quite fit the mold, and finding belonging when you start later than most.

Patrick shares his experience of acting school, the discipline and hunger that carried him forward after graduation, and how staying grounded and consistent has helped him build momentum in his career.

This is an honest conversation about trusting your timing, showing up fully, and remembering that there’s no single “right” way into acting—or into any creative life.

If you’ve ever felt behind, out of place, or unsure if you started too late, this episode is for you.
