meet Amy

|

I’ve been on this creative journey for over ten years. 

I’ve auditioned and avoided auditioning. 
I’ve performed and procrastinated. 
I’ve succeeded and I’ve failed. 

Just like you.

Along the way, I learned some life-changing lessons from mentors, coaches, and business owners that I believe actors need to know.  

Why? 

Because these lessons can change the trajectory of your career and the quality of your life. 

I know what it’s like to buy into industry bullshit, to ask the wrong people for advice, and hope someone can finally give you your big break. And I know for a fact that none of it leads you where you want to go.

My mission to empower actors began with a podcast and continues now with this coaching company where I help you change your life, mindset, and career for the better.

I am who I needed ten years ago, five years ago, and even just one year ago, and I’m here for you now.

You are not alone and you deserve a life and career you love.

love, Amy

Dear Fellow Actor, 

my mission:

To empower actors in the grind to love their lives, care for their hearts, and build the confidence needed to bravely go after their dreams.

Our mission is to empower you to live your best life and reach your highest potential. Everything we do flows from that. From our podcast guests to the questions we ask, and the action steps given in a coaching call - it’s all intentionally leading you where you want to go.

With Intention

My clients know I’m kind, but I’m nothing if not honest. Working with me is a loving kick in the butt about what needs to happen next. That might mean taking bigger risks in your career outreach. Or it could be taking time to slow down and rest before pushing further. When you work with me, be prepared to hear honesty first and foremost because that's the key to real progress.

Honesty First

We are heart-first around here. I know this career is a hard one, and I respect where you’re coming from emotionally on any given day. You’re an artist at heart, which means you’re both sensitive and strong. I’m here for you with warmth and understanding. 

Always Kind

how we do things
