Actor Problems

You're an actor because you love it. Because it's fun! Because you can't *not* do it. But have you ever wondered why we're so damn stressed? My name is Tony Rossi. I'm a mindset coach and guest expert for Backstage, helping actors see things differently with the things that make them stressed and overwhelmed so that you can focus on what matters. Actor Problems is a self care podcast for actors that does just that. And remember - we can be messy, actors, and still get the things we want. #notperfect Let's go get 'em, actors.

    you DON'T need to budget (and why you're procrastinating)

    Today's guest is Katy Chen Mazzara.  Katy Chen Mazzara is a certified trauma-informed financial wellness coach and graduate of UC Berkeley’s Personal Financial Planning program.

The way to counteract it is to tell it a different story - but a true story… Give yourself permission to feel whatever it is that you’re feeling….it’s much more harmful to suppress those feelings The more unknown something is, the more we’re going to worry about it.  Retirement and investing feels far away. But if you start to create a plan towards that north star? Eventually you’ll get there.  If you track for at least three to six months, you start to see where your patterns are.  If you have had traumas in your life, you’re going to create certain places in your body where it does not feel safe enough to pursue the things you want to pursue You can help people and make money doing it..”    Let's stay connected!  WEBSITE: www.tonyrossicoaching.com  INSTAGRAM: www.instagram/com/tony.rossi  FREE SELF-CARE NEWSLETTER: www.tonyrossicoaching.com/stress  FREE SELF-CARE FB GROUP: www.facebook.com/groups/actorproblems    Wanna work together?  Check out www.tonyrossicoaching.com/workwithtony  OR click here to book a free call with me (as spots are available) - https://www.tonyrossicoaching.com/free-call
