Celebrity, fame, followers, and popularity are craved by many. Although desiring to be famous as a performing artist is not necessarily wrong, it may be wise to investigate the reasons why.

I chatted with working Actor Sam Valentine—the host of One Broke Actress, The Real Life of a Hollywood Actor podcast. Sam moved to Los Angeles with a theatre degree and more conviction than she had dollars (in her own words). She shares that she spent the better part of a decade trying to be anything a casting breakdown wanted her to be.
There has been a lack of truthful education about acting and freelance performing careers. I asked Sam about her career journey and why she was drawn to a career as an Actor. We also discussed why so many others want to be performers in showbiz. Let's get started with Sam.

Performing Artists such as actors, singers, and dancers often have erratic schedules, multiple jobs, and emotional struggles. They often have little money to buy the health products they would like.
The art of healthy eating can be confusing for many. Many performing artists find a lot of confusion, shame, and control issues behind their diets and eating plans. Much conflicting, ever-changing information about eating styles exists. What do we and don’t we eat?
I asked Stephen Murphy, a Certified Nutritionist Consultant and Functional Medicine Health Coach (Certificated), for his wisdom. Stephen spends his whole week with performers as staff at a California arts conservatory. His heart to see performers thriving is undeniable!

Let's talk about how to juggle a performing arts career! The performing arts industry requires flexibility. There's a lack of consistency the majority of the time. Auditions and casting calls are unpredictable. Materials such as scripts, lyrics, and music to learn can arrive at the last minute. Performers must also maintain their technique, attend rehearsals, and more. It's a juggle-the-performer life!
This episode is in two parts. Part A is tips for all performers. Part B, recommendations for performers who are parents (or want to be)! That's a next-level juggle and one I know well.

Are Your Artistic Dreams and Goals Distracting You From Living Now? Are you putting aspects of your life on hold? Pursuing big dreams is great, but are your goals distracting you from living in the meantime? Is Your Life On Hold Due To Your Dreams?
We will chat about our values and where we get our worth. It takes a certain kind of artist to move to an arts hub and say, 'I want to be a performer or artist professionally.' It takes so much effort and energy to train, audition or prepare. When that season is delayed, changes, or ends, it's easy to feel worthless, but it's a matter of perspective. Let's get started.

A performer’s greatest fear. They walk on stage preparing to dance, sing and act but are frozen. Elma Linz Kanefield experienced this firsthand when she was a singer in New York when she could not make a sound at an audition. She wanted to know why.
Soon after this incident, Elma, a licensed clinical social worker, became a specialist in the psychology of the performing arts. For decades, she has helped hundreds of artists in New York City and around the world with their challenges. I am excited to talk with Elma about how performers can reach their performance potential onstage and off. Let's get started with Elma Linz Kanefield.

What happens when you feel burnt out from intense life pressures and spinning too many plates? There was a season in my performing career that felt like I was in a pressure cooker, and it was heating up.
We often head towards burnout when we hustle too hard and long for worthiness. For performing artists, this can be hard to avoid. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by too much stress over a long period. What is the best thing to do? I'll share what I do in this episode.
