I believe actors can be happy and fulfilled before they succeed...in fact, they almost have to be. I am bringing you conversations, coaching, and personal stories of hope, resilience, and success in life (and the acting career). From side job life to series regular, from costar, guest star, or the lead in the musical...I think every actor in Chicago and the world deserves a whole life. Acting is unlikely to fill your cup 100% of the time, so let's fill it together.
