Have you ever wondered what is actually happening inside the brain of an artist? How does this mindset stuff actually work and is there science to back it up?
This week I am joined by the incredible Emilie Leyes, a NYC based actor, singer, and brain training and resilience specialist for performers. She helps actors use mental practice to build resilience to prevent taking on the stress of their roles and careers, cultivate confidence and creativity on a neurological level, and prime their brains to align with their goals. She is also currently working toward her Masters and Phd in Mind-Body Medicine, where she is researching the psychophysiology of acting.
So needless to say this conversation was amazing and it's one you will want to come back to again and again!
