Welcome back to The Acting Coach Network Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest blocks to success for acting coaches and creatives alike - limiting beliefs.

These sneaky thoughts often sound like “I’m not qualified enough” or “There’s no room for me,” and they quietly shape your decisions without you even realising it. But here’s the truth: those beliefs are not facts — they’re just stories you’ve picked up along the way.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

• What limiting beliefs really are (and why they feel so real)
• Three of the most common mindset blocks I see in passionate, creative coaches
• A simple 3-step process to start shifting your beliefs today
• A quick visualization to help you embody the next-level version of yourself

Feeling like the summer term is running the show (instead of you)? You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m chatting about the reality of what it’s like to juggle shows, exams, school timetables, and the general madness that hits every theatre school owner or acting coach at this time of year. I’ll share the 3 biggest strategies that are helping me stay afloat, including how I use time blocking, delegation, and rewards to stay focused, energised, and (mostly!) sane.

Whether you’re mid-rehearsals, knee-deep in exam prep, or just trying to keep your schedule from exploding, this episode will give you practical tools, and a much-needed dose of solidarity.

📝 What we cover:
•Why the summer term feels so intense
•How to delegate (even if you’re not used to it)
•My time-blocking approach
•Why planning your rewards is essential for avoiding burnout

This one’s like a virtual coffee chat with a friend who gets it, so pop in your headphones and let’s go!

Have you ever wondered if entering business awards is really worth it? In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of entering the ClubHub UK Awards – including what the process was like, what I learned, and how I ended up ranking 6th in the Top 100 children’s activity providers in the UK.

We’ll talk about:

• Why entering awards isn’t just about winning
• How the application process can boost your confidence and clarity
• What actually happens at an awards event like ClubHub UK
• The truth about who nominates you (spoiler: it’s YOU!)
• Why backing yourself is a business skill worth building

If you’ve ever hesitated to enter an award because you didn’t think you were “ready” or “good enough,” this episode is your sign to go for it. I’ll also share a few other awards to keep on your radar and why the visibility and credibility can be game-changing for your business.

Whether you’re a solo acting coach or theatre school owner, this is your nudge to put yourself forward.

Struggling to stand out and attract the right students to your performing arts business? You’re not alone and this episode is here to help.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the lessons I learned the hard way when I first launched my theatre school: from posting random content without a plan to burning out while trying to be everything to everyone.

Whether you’re a solo coach or a theatre school owner, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify and attract your dream students
• Speak directly to the people making the decisions (parents!)
• Niche down without feeling limited
• Avoid burnout and set boundaries
• Charge what you’re really worth

This episode is packed with practical advice to help you build a more aligned, profitable, and sustainable business, so grab a notebook and let’s get going.

This week’s episode is short, unpolished, and straight from the heart.

I share a raw and honest check-in after a chaotic week of five straight days of teaching, family sickness, endless admin, and very little breathing room.

With sick in my hair (literally), a missed script, and a toddler who’s watched more TV than usual, I almost skipped this episode, but decided to keep it real and show up anyway.

If you’ve ever felt like life’s a bit too much, this one’s for you. A reminder that consistency doesn’t have to be perfect, and sometimes just pressing record is enough.

In this powerful and gently eye-opening episode, I'm joined by Lee Ellaway, a person-centred counsellor, psychotherapist, and the founder of Lee Ellaway Therapy, a private practice supporting performers, creatives and those navigating big transitions in the arts industry.

With over 30 years of experience in theatre and live events, Lee shares why he pivoted from directing and running theatre schools to holding space for artists facing burnout, identity shifts, people-pleasing patterns and creative crossroads. Together, Lee and I explore why burnout hits so hard in our industry, how performers can begin setting boundaries, and what really happens in a first therapy session.

Expect heartfelt stories, boundary-setting analogies you’ll never forget (hello, garden fence with a gate), and a refreshing take on therapy that makes it feel human, accessible and less daunting, especially for creatives who feel stuck.

Whether you’re curious about therapy or in need of a reminder to put your own oxygen mask on first, this conversation is full of grounded, practical wisdom for anyone trying to balance passion, purpose and wellbeing.
