Mom and Dad: supporting an actor in the family
Description
I’ve done the impossible. I convinced my mom and dad to be on the podcast. I know, we thought it would never happen and yet here we are! I am so proud to bring on Rich and Debbie Valentine, and interview them on what it was like to raise an actor and support me in my dreams. You may not know this, but I didn’t come from a creative family. It’s really all on me, and my parents took a big leap of faith that I am forever grateful for. I share my experiences and challenges as an actor with my parents, and hear their side on how they feel about me moving from the Midwest to Los Angeles, constantly facing rejection, and coming out on top. Recorded at the family home, this is a must-listen for anyone needing a boost of familial support and insight into the actor’s life.
