For the first time in years I am fully committing to the New Year, clean slate vibe! After a few years of anxiety and loneliness, I am ready for a year of forward momentum and in this week's episode, I want to share how and why with you. If you too are feeling to give yourself a good dose of forward energy, this one is for you. Do you have a topic idea for a future Making Our Way segment?

This week, I have been thinking a lot about balance and more specifically, the choices I (and all of us) get to make around the prioritisation of our time. After all, she really is the most precious resource we all have... In Making Our Way this week I am addressing a question from the In The Room (coaching) Instagram Q+A a few weeks ago, about how I spend my time when I am not working (on an acting job). A valuable and complimentary topic for this week's time focus. Do you have a topic idea for a future Making Our Way segment?

Well, this week's episode might feel like it has nothing to do with pursuing an acting career... but in that way that there is no acting without the actor, it has everything to do with it! As I make (yet another) move to a new home this weekend, it feels only right to open up about my long-standing wrestle with depression - something which has been very prevalent in the time I have spent in the home I am leaving - and my subsequent love of new starts. Plus, hear my tribute to my album of the year: 'This Is What I Mean' by Stormzy. It has all at once personally shattered and creatively inspire ..read more

Well. What a 7 months it has been since we last spoke... I've been wanting to record an episode like this for the longest, but for the longest I haven't felt fully able to speak on my experiences this year. Even this is only scratching the surface of what I have learned recently, but listen up if you're keen for some insights on: - Overnight success vs overnight exposure - What it means to be a "working actor" - Doing the work of letting go I hope you enjoy the episode!

It’s the first day of Spring y’all & it’s also ?MY BIRTHDAY! ? To honour *finally* entering the last year of my 20s, I wanted to share 29 things I have learned as an actor so far:  1. Everything passes 2. If you ever need the toilet on set ask to go for a “10-1” (ten, one) 3. You can feel so alone sometimes, but all actors want to be seen. None of us is alone in that 4. The nerves never go away 5. Things happen in the time they are supposed to 6. Collaboration is the true gift of this industry 7. There is no such thing as a bad offer in a rehearsal space 8. No one will give a sh*t ab ..read more

This week has been a big week for me... started with a blue tick, included a meaningful heart-to-heart with my agent, and finished with our final performances of The Importance of Being Earnest UK tour! By all accounts, its been a great week, albeit surprising in places. As always, there is much to take away from it all. Do you have a topic idea for a future Making Our Way segment?

This week I am finally committing to less commitment when it comes to this podcast - with chest! It has been such an honour to produce this podcast weekly (for the most part) since December 27th 2021 and I hope that it has given a decent amount of insight into the plight of being a working actor, from a level of perceived success. I still have much more to learn and will still have much more to share, so this isn't goodbye! It's just a warning that from henceforth you can expect these episodes to come at you a little more sporadically, as I endeavour to deliver quality over quantity. And of ..read more

This week I wanted to give you a quick reminder of how important it is to BELIEVE in yourself. It is the most radical form of selfcare, the foundation from which all else springs, and absolutely imperative if you want to be a successful actor.  Do you have a topic idea for a future Making Our Way segment?

This week, I am creeping out of my February hibernation to talk to you about an observation that I came across the other day about being a successful actor. I also wanted to share some insights I had after going to watch Burntwood School's production of Grease earlier this week, which awoke in me such a craving for the thrill and joy of acting at its core! For Making Our Way this week, I am chatting about a tendency some of us can have to anticipate the result of something and therefore fail to take action on that same something, inspired by a chat I had with one of my In The Room coaching cl ..read more

This week I might still be bearing the war wounds of my latest battle with the flu - the second time this winter - but I am back nonetheless! Having had such a lack of energy of late has really got me thinking and reflecting on what it means to give my energy and effort to things - so that I can a) access the community that I need to survive this industry, and so that I may b) be able to move forwards in my career and my life. Permission is something that we need to be able to give to ourselves, and I think it is something that we ought to give to ourselves if we want to see progress. That is ..read more
