In this empowering episode, Abbe Bradbury challenges the idea that success in the performing arts has to follow a set formula. Drawing on real stories from students — both of whom took bold, unconventional steps in their careers — Abbe unpacks the pressure of comparison and the fear of straying from the “expected” path. Whether you're navigating early career decisions, considering unexpected opportunities, or redefining what success means to you, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that there’s no one right way — only your way.
Today’s episode is going to be a little different. I’m going to be talking about some of the biggest business fails. The ones that cost me time, money, tears, and my sanity. We’re talking missing invoices, $100,000 worth of undelivered costumes, missed opportunities, and all the ‘oh no’ moments that you think only happen to other people and the lessons that came out of them.
In this episode, Abbe Bradbury dives deep into the dos and don'ts of business in the performing arts world. From contracts to culture, she unpacks the red flags to avoid—and the green flags to chase—whether you’re a studio owner, student, or professional performer. With real talk, industry insight, and a few personal stories, Abbe shares what to look out for before signing on the dotted line. If you're navigating opportunities and want to protect your passion and your peace, this one’s a must-listen.  
In this real and raw episode, Abbe Bradbury dives into the importance of filtering the advice you receive - and who you’re actually receiving it from. From dodging empty opinions and carpark gossip to recognising the difference between those who talk the talk and those who’ve walked the path, Abbe unpacks how experience shapes wisdom. Whether you're chasing big dreams or navigating everyday challenges, this episode is your reminder to stay grounded, stay focused, and choose your influences wisely.
