Starting a Family as an Actor – Can You Really Do Both?

In this solo episode of CREATIVE RISK, Joshua tackles one of the most personal and complex challenges an artist can face: starting a family. From navigating the decision to have kids to balancing survival jobs with creative opportunities, he talks with several actors with children or considering having children to break down what it takes to be both a dedicated parent and a working actor. Drawing on their real stories and practical advice, they explore the giant puzzle of raising kids while pursuing an acting career, including negotiating responsibilities with a partner, finding childcare, and even shifting from "furry babies" to real ones.Brooke Jacob Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/brookejacobhipp/Brooke Jacob Websitehttps://www.brookejacob.com/Bligh Voth Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/blighadeline/Bligh Voth Websitehttps://www.blighvoth.com/Pomme Koch Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/pommekoch/Pomme Koch Websitehttps://www.pommekoch.com/Nicolas Greco Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nicolasjgreco/Nicolas Greco Websitehttps://nicolasgreco.com/Join our Patreon for ad-free early access to episodes, exclusive discounts, weekly Q&As, and so much more.  Visit https://www.patreon.com/CreativeRiskPodcast today!Submit your story to Raw & Rising, the mini-series spotlighting hustling creatives—those self-producing, diversifying their income, and tackling challenges head-on.
