In this episode of Act Bold, I sit down with my good friend Maike Döhling—actor, career coach, and mastermind behind the upcoming Creative Mind Online Festival. We touch on everything from overcoming fear to building authentic connections and figuring out how to stop waiting for permission to shine.

Micah’s festival is all about personal growth for actors—covering topics that go way beyond the usual acting workshops. But we didn’t just talk logistics—we dove deep into why confidence comes after action, how networking can feel empowering (not desperate), and the real magic that happens when you start leaning into your unique essence as an artist.

One thing Micah said really hit home: “If the path in front of you feels perfectly clear, it’s not your path.” There’s a lot to unpack in that statement—and trust me, you’ll want to hear how it relates to your creative journey.

We didn’t hold back in this conversation. If you’ve been feeling stuck, waiting for the perfect moment, or unsure how to connect with the right people—this episode is for you.

Until next time, you stay your bold and beautiful self,

Anne
