One Broke Actress
Financially, mentally, physically or otherwise...most actors are at least a little broke. Host/actress Sam Valentine brings you advice, tips, and real stories (of success & failure) from people in and around the acting industry. So you feel a little more “whole” and a little less alone in Hollywood. From auditions and the day-to-day life of working actors to getting agents/managers, we cover it all.

108. The New Normal - Mindset with Amy McNabb
Who's down for a mini-series?!
Here’s the deal, it felt like rushing into a regular podcast season without acknowledging the last 15 to 16 months we’ve been through would be doing a disservice to everyone. We’ve been through trauma, we’ve been through change, and I want to talk about it.
Amy is here to talk all things MINDSET, no matter how you're feeling this matters. How you prepare for the future and view your current day to day is a lot more under control than you think. So I got my own mindset mentor to sit down for a quick chat ;)
