In this episode, I'm shedding light on the whole idea of 'blind spots' in an actor's career– you know, those tricky areas in an actor's journey that might be silently holding them back. We're breaking down the 8 most common mistakes actors make when it comes to their careers and, of course, I've got the lowdown on how to tackle each one.

I get into "being ready," dealing with overwhelm, perfect timing, managing the craziness of busyness, overcoming perfectionism, booting indecision out the door, not turning small stuff into big dramas, and steering clear of those assumptions. And here's the real deal – we're not just talking concepts. I'm diving into real-world scenarios and dishing out some practical solutions you can put into action right away.

This episode is all about giving you the inside scoop on these 8 Mistakes, with a big focus on shifting from external to internal criteria, swapping out the problem frame for the opportunity frame, and waving goodbye to past contexts in favor of the future. It's a journey of honesty with yourself and making those consistent, proactive efforts to not just survive but thrive in the acting world.

So, if you're as pumped as I am about leveling up in the acting game, this episode is your go-to guide! 🎙️✨
