| Don't Believe Your Thoughts | 18 Dec 2025 | 01:27:52 | |
Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode This time of year can be great – but also quite intense. There are more expectations on us, more emotions at play, and more stories circling in our heads about family, money, the future, and how we think we should think and feel about those things. Today’s episode looks at a simple idea from the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi that cuts straight through all that noise: you are not your thoughts. What’s interesting about this century old spiritual teaching is how it aligns with modern psychology and points to the same wisdom: to stop wrestling with your thoughts and instead change your relationship to them. We talk about how to do that in a world that seems so full of anxiety and fear and how to remain present when the mind is trying to run the show (which, around Christmas time, it usually is). Book a Live Intro Seminar for the SPOA: If you have any feedback, thoughts, topics you think we should cover in future episodes or questions about the Spiritual Psychology of Acting…whatever it is, we’d love to hear from you.

| Making a Living Whilst Making Your Art: The Curator Method with Anne Alexander-Sieder | 30 Oct 2025 | 00:56:11 | |
Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode This week we are joined by Anne Alexander-Sieder - an American actor, podcaster and coach based in Germany. She’s someone who rebuilt her creative life from the ground up. After taking a sixteen-year break from acting and living far from the industry, she found her way back through a process she calls The Curator Method. She’s since gone on to found Act Bold Training and create The Escape Route Challenge - a five-day journey that helps artists build better connections, break through obstacles, and find the people who can take them to the next level. In this conversation, we explore some of the biggest questions every artist faces: How do we make a living while staying true to our art? Anne shares how the solution to most of our creative struggles can often be found inside the problem itself - and why the secret to getting what we need is often found through service and giving. We also talk about getting off the hamster wheel of comparison, celebrating the small wins, and choosing thoughts that serve our artistry rather than our ego. This is a conversation about how to stay connected to your purpose, even when life pulls you in a dozen different directions.

Not only does he promise the how-to’s, he has zero doubt that acting is your divine birthright.

Duncan first made a name for himself as a director, working for over 40 years making television for the BBC.

In our chat, we discuss where Duncan’s love of acting originated from, his experience of auditioning and studying at drama school, and what it’s been like finding his feet as an actor later in life.

| All About Love | 20 Apr 2023 | 01:03:57 | |
Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode This week we weigh in on one of the most studied yet misunderstood topics – love. It exists in all cultures around the world, and is the subject of countless movies, novels, pieces of music and artwork throughout human history.
In fact, it’s hard to imagine any of us would be here without it. Love is essential for our survival. And yet, our desperate need for love can lead to frustration, vanity, attachment, rejection and other destructive forces.
In this episode, we discuss the key elements in truly understanding real love. We also cover the important role of love in the actor’s life, whether it’s self-care and maintaining good mental health, or in the tricky skill of creating believable romantic relationships on stage and screen.

| The Art of Auditioning | 06 Apr 2023 | 00:52:27 | |
Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode The audition is the all-important step for an actor landing the role, whether in person or more commonly now by self-tape - but very often actors dread the process and don’t set themselves up to do a good job. It can be scary stepping into the unknown territory of an audition and it’s easy to feel judged. However, the truth is that being able to audition well is an essential skill to develop for furthering your career as an actor. John and Jordan discuss how best to prepare for auditions, maintain good mental health, the importance of assessing your work, and how to deal with rejection.

| The Power of a Human Storyteller with Special Guest - Elise Arsenault | 22 Jan 2026 | 01:18:34 | |
Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode Today we’re diving into an area of the industry experiencing somewhat of a boom – audiobooks. We wanted to speak to someone who not only understands that world, but who’s shaping it from the inside. Our guest in this episode is Elise Arsenault – she’s an award-winning audiobook narrator, actor, coach, and entrepreneur. Throughout her career, she’s narrated close to 200 audiobooks, as well as providing voiceover for commercials and video games. Elise is also the founder of The Global Actor, host of the Global Actor podcast, and creator of the The Great Audiobook Adventure – a program that’s specifically designed to help actors break into and build thriving careers in the audiobook industry. Most recently, she delivered a fantastic TEDx talk titled, The Power of a Human Storyteller in the Age of AI. If you haven’t seen or heard it yet, it’s a heartfelt, timely argument for why human voices still matter. So, today, we’re exploring all of it: Elise’s journey, her craft, the ever-evolving audiobook industry, and exactly what role humans still play in a world that seems to be increasingly full of synthetic voices.

| The Map of Consciousness Part 1: The Anatomy of Suffering | 13 Mar 2026 | 01:10:10 | |
Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode What if human suffering wasn’t random? What if there were actually a 'map', a framework for understanding why certain people remain trapped in cycles of shame or anger, while others seem able to rise above the same circumstances and live with courage, and joy? In the 1990s, psychiatrist and researcher David R. Hawkins proposed something radical. He suggested that human emotions, motivations, and worldviews exist on a measurable scale of consciousness, ranging from the most destructive states of mind all the way to enlightenment. He called it The Map of Consciousness. Now, at first that might sound a bit abstract or 'woo-woo', but stick with us. Because instead of judging people morally, what the map gives us is a surprisingly practical way to understand the mechanics of human behaviour. So, in this 3 part mini series, we’re exploring all the levels of Consciousness, starting with the very bottom of the map. Because in this basement level are four emotional states that can often keep us locked in suffering. Shame. For some, these aren’t just passing feelings. They’re entire worldviews that colour how we see ourselves and others around us. And some of the most powerful stories ever told, in film, TV, and theatre, are about characters trapped in these states, trying to climb their way out. So, in this episode, we’re exploring what these levels actually look like in real life and how becoming aware of them might help us begin to move beyond them. Book a Live Intro Seminar for the SPOA:

| The Map of Consciousness Part 2: From Force to Power | 23 Apr 2026 | 01:30:02 | |
Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode Why do some people live in constant anxiety, while others face the same situations with courage? Why are some driven by pure ambition and desire, while others seem strangely calm and grounded? According to psychiatrist and researcher David R. Hawkins, it’s not random. He proposed something called The Map of Consciousness, a framework that suggests human emotions and worldviews exist on a measurable scale, from the most destructive states of mind all the way up to the most expansive and enlightened. In the previous episode of this mini-series, we explored the very bottom of that map: the heavy emotional territories of shame, guilt, apathy and grief. But in this episode, we start climbing. Today we’re moving through the levels of Fear, Desire, Anger and Pride, before crossing a fascinating turning point in Hawkins’ model. The critical threshold of 200. Below that line, people are driven by what Hawkins called Force, where life is often a struggle. Above it, something shifts. We enter the territory of Power. And that’s where we begin to stop fighting life quite so hard and start engaging with it in a completely different way. So, in this episode, as we climb up the levels, we explore what these states look like in our lives and how they show up again and again in the stories we love to watch. Because some of the most unforgettable characters in film, television and theatre live inside these levels. Characters ruled by fear or chasing desire. Characters burning with anger or whose pride becomes their downfall. And characters who against all odds find the courage to rise above it. Book a Live Intro Seminar for the SPOA:
