Elizabeth Healey has a PhD in Neurophysiology and in her twenties gave it all up to follow her dream.

In the wake of having her first baby, she decided to go to drama school and has never looked back.

Someone once said “Elizabeth Healey is the epitome of ‘portfolio’ when you think of a career – an actress (appearing in block buster movies like Marvel’s Dr Strange and indie gems like Across The River, a television reporter, radio host for JACK RADIO, podcaster, film director and screenwriter. Oh and did we mention she has a PhD in neuroscience and travels the world reporting for the award-winning documentary THE CURE exploring global innovations in health and science. She wears a lot of hats.”

We talk about following your gut/instincts, how important telling people’s stories is and working hard to make that dream come true. There is a good chat about “luck” and how actually it’s more about putting yourself out there and “luck” being the result of saying yes a lot!
