We’re shaking things up today with me being the guest on Brittany Rizzo’s “My Only Friends” podcast! This is a small segment of our full hour long conversation, but it was one that really resonated with me. I openly share my mental health journey, and the way that I’ve grown to approach finances as an actor. Success is what we make it and how we define it, and there is no one way to be an actor. I get into the challenges of actor life, the pressure of constant productivity, and the impact the pursuit of this career can have on our mental health. Brittany and I also talk about the benefits of taking breaks, managing burnout, and my personal experience with anxiety medication. If you want more, be sure to check out the full episode on 'My Only Friends,' where we dive even deeper on the insecurities and pressures actors face.
