3. Amy McNabb on Investing in Your Own Dreams, Gamifying Your Career, and Being Right On Time

Oh man, am I excited to share this interview with Amy McNabb (Coach, Voice-Over Actor). Amy owns a coaching company called Actor’s Encouraged, which is a space dedicated to supporting ambitious, heart-centered actors on their journey to success. And she’s fricken amazing at what she does. Amy is my coach, and we’ve been working together for over a year and she’s such an integral part of my team. I could rave about the momentous growth I’ve experienced for hours, but Amy’s not only helped me grow as a creative and professional, but I’m more in tune with what I want, how I’m feeling, and I can honestly say I’m loving my life in a new way while embracing the constant ebbs and flows of the entertainment industry. We cover A LOT of ground in this conversation, and if you need a healthy dose of no-BS advice and want to do some reframing and reflecting on your career journey (while giggling along because Amy also happens to be quite funny).... This one is for you. — Holding space for younger self’s Broadway dreams and her Boston “Edge” — Using her own messy experiences to inform the work she does with actors — Embracing how everything is temporary and believing you can build something better— Your career is a Candyland board + gamifying your experience — Embracing being a visionary and creating something that’s hers— The normalcy of wanting to be acknowledged and wanting attention — Feeling like you’re running out of time to have the career you want Resources Mentioned in the Episode Book: The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay HendricksInstagram: The Space Gal, Emily CalandrelliSupport building your own business: Team AP ConsultingConnect with AmyActor’s Encouraged WebsiteActor’s Encouraged IGAmy’s Personal IGActor’s Encouraged PodcastAmy’s BioAmy is the Founder of Actors Encouraged, a space dedicated to supporting ambitious, heart centered actors on their journey to success.
