Episode 1 - A Conversation on Faith, Acting, Gap Years, Burn Out & more with Joy-Anna Gooch

Welcome to the Those Who Hope Podcast! My name is Katrina and I am a Musical Theatre actress who is passionate about the Christian faith and how that ties into every area of my life and the lives of others. I am inspired by so many people around me who also love Jesus - from West End performers, to mothers and fathers, to church leaders, mental health advocates, and more, and I would love to invite you to join us in real and raw conversations about our stories. Hope is the thing that has kept my eyes up through even the most painful of circumstances, and I am so keen to uplift and encourage you through tales of hope as you join us for this podcast series. In today's episode, we are joined by the wonderful Joy Anna Gooch! At just 19 years of age she is working professionally in the performing arts industry, including in the cast of new original musical It Is Well With My Soul by Gareth Hides, based on the true story of Philip Bliss. Join us for this episode as we chat openly about the industry, about preparing for your calling, dealing with burn out, and asking where does God fit into it all?
