Season 3 Episode 32: Jessie Mueller

Today’s episode is with Tony and Grammy winner Jessie Mueller! I’m beyond thrilled to share this conversation with you because Jessie is someone I have long admired. Getting to sit down and pick her brain was a treat. Jessie talks about her focus on the work, her views on “strength”, and about her time on and off stage. She talks about what she feels has kept her grounded and her strong belief that your personal life feeds your life onstage. 

BIG NEWS! 

Jack Plotnick and I are teaming up on an ABA online workshop called, “Learn to Love Acting Again + Book More Work”. You may remember Jack from earlier this season! Join us in less than two weeks on Monday, August 5th at 7pm EST if you want to explore tools to get out of your own way and fall in love with the work again. Visit www.abalancingact.biz/workshops/ to learn more and secure your spot! See you there!

 

Ready, Set, Action!

1. Take a minute to think about what the word “strength” has meant to you up until this moment. 
2. Now think about how Jessie frames the word “strength” in her life. 
3. Make a list of the things or events that have shaped your “strength”. 
4. Let this list lift you up the next time you are feeling less than strong. I promise, you are strong and you can do this!
