Your Ego is Sabotaging Your Career.

You’ve probably been told that confidence is everything in this industry. That being good, being right, being impressive will open doors. And maybe, like so many of us, you've worked hard to shape yourself into something that fits. Something that pleases. Something that wins.

But what if I told you that this very effort—this constant striving—is exactly what’s in your way?

When you watch my video below you will discover that your ego, far from being a villain, has become a masterful protector. It learned to navigate a world that taught you performance over presence, approval over truth. Your ego is trying to keep you safe—by helping you manage, strategize, and control. It wants you to get the job. It wants you to be liked. It wants you to belong.

But your ego is also what’s keeping you from actually being in the work.

As an actor, your job isn’t to impress. Your job is to reveal. And you can’t reveal when you’re performing your worth. You can’t reveal when you’re trying to get it right.

That anxious control? That tightness in your body, that second-guessing of your impulses, that needing to be good—it’s all your ego, fighting for survival. And it's so understandable. You’ve been taught from a very young age that in order to be accepted, you need to be more—more pleasing, more disciplined, more exceptional, more something.

But the truth is: you were already enough when you arrived here.

You were free. Uninhibited. Curious. Fully present in your body and your senses. And then came the training. The conditioning. The culture that said: sit still. Speak when spoken to. Be good. Be quiet. Don’t feel too much. Don’t make others uncomfortable. Be more like this, less like that.

So you built an ego. A brilliant one.

One that shines, performs, achieves.

But here’s the invitation: what happens when you pause the performance? When you return to your original instrument—not the one sculpted by the industry, but the one sculpted by nature?

This is what we explore in the RESET journey—and what I begin to unpack in this training video. This is not about becoming something. This is about remembering something. Coming back to the body, to the emotional system, to the energetic and sensorial truth that lives beneath the mask.

Because you are the medicine.

You are not here to copy someone else’s path. You are not here to perform your worth. You are here to feel. To create. To connect. Not with your ego, but with your essence.

That essence is what moves people. That essence is what books jobs. That essence is what fulfills you.

This work is not about teaching you anything new. It’s about midwifing you back to the you that’s always been there—beneath the coping, beneath the performance, beneath the fear. Back to the creator. Not the survivor.

We do this in community, in safety, in the space between resistance and freedom.

Watch my training below to hear all my thoughts on this topic.

And if this resonates, I invite you to taste this work. Not through theory or persuasion—but through experience. The 5-day Reset TASTER is our way of offering you a space to come home to yourself. To meet your instrument again. To feel what it feels like to breathe without performing, to move without proving, to speak without apologizing.

This is not acting training as usual. This is soul work, for artists who are ready to stop surviving and start creating—from truth. And you Pay What You Can

You are the art. You are the technology. You are the magic.

You don’t need fixing. You need remembering.

If you are ready you can join here
