188. Working Actor Life: Prioritizing Your Needs as an Actor, Practical Tips for Mental Health, and Self-Care

Gabrielle Byndloss and I are back to talk about the importance of self-care and the struggles of being a working actor. We touch on how to prioritize your own needs, how to create a list of comforts items to bring with you on set, and practical tips for maintaining your mental health while traveling. Gabrielle shares her own experiences with depression and anxiety and offers advice on how to develop a daily self-care routine, even when resources are limited. We also go into the importance of goal setting and the benefits of setting your own goals, rather than relying on external validation. Tune in for some honest and hilarious conversation about the realities of being a working actor, and why we all need to take care of ourselves along the way.
