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.

Your mindset can make or break your journey as a performer. In this episode, Abbe Bradbury dives deep into the power of a positive mindset—how to manage stress and anxiety, genuinely celebrate others' success, and understand why rest is just as important as rehearsal. Whether you're on stage or behind the scenes, these strategies will help you build resilience, confidence, and longevity in your career.

Long rehearsals, tough critiques, and the pressure to constantly improve - it's easy to fall into a cycle of frustration. But where energy goes, energy grows. In this episode of The Backstage Pass Podcast, Abbe Bradbury dives into the power of presence, gratitude, and reframing negativity as a performer. Whether you're battling self-doubt, comparing yourself to others, or feeling stuck, we'll share practical tools to shift your mindset and elevate your artistry. Because the most successful dancers aren't the ones who complain—they're the ones who adapt, grow, and show up with intention. Let's reframe, refocus, and rise.
