A short and sweet entry for the new year. A slow, and stumbling start, which many of us relate to as routines grind back into gear after a period of much needed rest. January energy is not the GO GO GO that is often pedalled by others. January is the slowest, quietest month, so let's listen to that, and go easy into 2026. Much love x

Let's stop waiting to get in the room to live our best lives shall we?

It's so important we don't leave it up to someone else to give us permission to be the creative, expressive beings we are. So don't wait.

Welcome to episode 5!

I'm excited and proud of this episode, so I hope you love it. Please do share it with one person in your life you think might enjoy it, too, and let's build a little community together!

This week we address the question, 'when do you feel like an actor?' thinking about all the time we aren't booking gigs and how to stay connected. We dissect some of the mental roadblocks that can get in our way and reframing the whole thing into something hopefully more hopeful and positive!

A mini episode for you this week.

A quick caffeinated reflection on my experience back in a rehearsal room last week, the importance of connection and play, and how lucky we are to get to be here.

Next week is a longer ep, see you then!

Don't forget to follow to catch next week's ep.

How do we choose the right 'day job'?...

And if do we make the right choice, can it be something we actually cherish and willingly keep hold of, as we move through our freelance acting careers?

Today, I sit down and give it some thought, run through the insanely long list of job titles I have accumulated this year alone, and try to find a way towards more balance.

Enjoy!

(p.s not sure the video episodes are something I can maintain, 1000x more work required than audio only, so enjoy this while it lasts!)

Episode 1: Welcome to the show!
In this very first episode, Risha invites you into the honest, messy, magical in-between of an actor’s life — the space where growth actually happens.
