There is no “one path” to becoming a working actor. No one knows that better than Kate Mansi,  who transitioned from having a dance scholarship to pursuing acting at Pepperdine University. She walks us through how her life changed when she found her passion and what she did to take care of herself as she pursued her dream. From the ups and downs that came with auditioning, to finding a mentor in Stan, to battling imposter syndrome, Kate shares how she booked the iconic role of Abigail on “Days of Our Lives” and all that came after. She shares her mental health struggles and caring for herself in a consistently high-stress environment that came to a peak during 2020 when she had to fight for her healthcare. We also get a glance at Kate’s future, as she starts directing and working with the nonprofit organization The Artemis Agency. Kate’s commitment to self-exploration and her craft will leave you inspired, and with a better grasp of what life is like after landing a role that defines your career. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO HEAR:EPISODE LINKS:· Follow Kate Mansi on IG · Kate’s Store· Kate’s IMDb· The Artemis Agency Host: Colleen FoyProducer: Kristyn DanielMusic by: Lindsay Boreing and Will Boreing________________Want to learn more about Stan Kirsch Studios?
