Feeling behind in your acting or voiceover career?   You're not alone. But you might be burning through your creative energy in the wrong ways. In this blog, we'll unpack something that rarely gets talked about in the entertainment industry: desperate energy. What it looks like, how it sneaks into your process, and why it might be the real reason you feel stuck. What Is Desperate Energy? Desperate energy is that anxious, frantic feeling that shows up when you think you're falling behind. It's applying to projects far below your rate just to stay busy Sending emails that sound like begging rather than offering value Obsessively checking job boards and refreshing your inbox Saying yes to everything, even if it doesn't align with your goals It feels like progress, but it's just panic in disguise. And it doesn't lead to your best work. Why Talented Actors Burn Out Most actors don't fail because they aren't good enough. They fail because they're exhausted. The entertainment industry rewards people who are grounded and consistent. Not those who hustle out of fear. If you're operating from a place of desperation, your decisions will reflect that. You'll chase misaligned jobs, sabotage your rates, and create chaos in your outreach. A prepared actor is a powerful one. A desperate actor is a noisy one. Desperation vs. Preparation Here's the difference in how each one shows up: Desperate Energy Prepared Energy Sends mass emails with no targeting Sends thoughtful outreach to aligned leads Auditions for anything and everything Submits only for strong-fit roles Overthinks every rejection Moves on with focus and perspective Chases opportunities from guilt Follows a repeatable business system   Prepared actors don't rely on luck. They build habits that create consistency. You're Not Behind — You're Building Here's a truth that might surprise you. You're probably not behind. You're just in a part of the story that no one posts about. You're laying track for a train that hasn't arrived yet. That doesn't mean you're late. It means you're doing the work. Comparison creates fake urgency. Your timeline isn't broken. It's unfolding. Five Ways to Shift Desperate Energy This Week Create a morning check-in. Set one creative and one business goal to guide your day. Limit job board time. Give yourself 10 focused minutes instead of getting stuck for hours. Track your outreach. Use a CRM or simple spreadsheet to stay organized. Submit and let go. Don't carry one audition's result into the next. Post a reminder. Write this on a sticky note: Building does not mean behind. Put it on your mic. Your mirror. Your computer. Wherever you need to see it. Your Brain Thinks You're in Danger When you feel behind, your brain can't always tell the difference between a real threat and a made-up one. The nervous system doesn't distinguish between missing a flight and watching someone else book a dream role. Both can feel like danger if you let them spiral. This is why structure matters. Habits and systems help ground you in the reality of what you're actually doing — not what you're afraid you're not doing. Final Thought: Keep Building The outreach that goes unanswered. The audition that goes nowhere. The early morning rehearsal no one sees. That's building. You're not behind. You're in the part of the journey that creates the part everyone else sees later. These quiet days matter. They're not wasted. They're foundational. What's one habit you'll try this week? Tag @actingbusinessbootcamp with your sticky note mantra. Mandy wants to see what you're committing to — and she'll share hers too.

Want to look your best when you step off the plane after a flight? No matter where you're going, you're going to need to be ready to go when you land.5 Things to Consider to Travel in Comfort Without Sacrificing StyleWhether it's a quick two-hour hop to a theme park destination, or a six-hour cross-country or overseas haul, air travel doesn't have to mean sacrificing your style for comfort. It's true. The right outfit can carry you from gate to getaway with no outfit change required. With just a little planning (and a great hoodie), you can stay cozy in-flight and look sharp the moment you land and get on your way.Five Ways to Look Good When You Step Off the PlaneHere are five ways to look good after your next flight, no matter how long you're in the air.1. Choose Comfortable, but Polished, Travel OutfitsLong gone are the days of sweatpants that scream “I gave up.” Today's travel clothes combine comfort with intention. That means a relaxed fits that still look refined. Go for comfortable buy stylish shorts, joggers or stretch denim. Pair that with a graphic tee with personality, and comfortable easy-on shoes or sneakers. You'll not only breeze through security, but you'll still look great and ready-to-go at arrivals.2. Pack Wrinkle-Resistant Fabrics and Easy LayersWrinkle free clothing has come a long way in both performance and style. From recycled poly-cotton blends to tri-knit tops, wrinkle-resistant fabrics are a travel game-changer. They hold their shape during hours of sitting, folding and laying on your carry-on. Layering adds both function and fashion. Start with a breathable t-shirt and top it with a soft hoodie. Add a denim jacket or something similar that will look good slung over your seat or your shoulders.3. Don't Travel Without Your Go-To Hoodie or SweatshirtA soft, mid-weight hoodie is the real MVP of air travel. Need a blanket? Hoodie. Cold on the plane? Hoodie. Want to look effortlessly cool at the baggage claim? Hoodie.Our 1923 graphic sweatshirts and hoodies are made for moments like this—super-soft with a vintage edge that feels broken-in from day one.  They bring personality and warmth to your outfit without bulk and will travel with you long after your journey has ended.4. Wear Outfits That Go Straight from Plane to ExploringWhen you land, the last thing you want is to dig through your bag for a whole new look. Your airport outfit should double as your first-day-of-adventure outfit. That's why we love elegant statement graphic tees layered with neutral staples. Throw on a hat and sunglasses and you're instantly ready to hit the streets, hit the parks, check out a café, or snap that all-important “I've arrived” first vacation selfie.5. Feature the Style You Want the World to SeeBuilt for travelers, dreamers and modern nomads, our 1923 Main Street® designs are inspired by classic destinations, eternal memories and that vintage travel poster vibe. It's all about the love of the journey itself. 1923 Main Street t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies aren't just comfy and warm—they tell a story.

Send us a textEver had one of those weeks where everything feels impossible—even the things you normally love? That's exactly what happened as I tried to record this podcast episode. Four separate attempts, four brick walls. But instead of forcing it, I decided to get curious about what was really going on beneath the surface.My body was sending signals through back pain and fatigue that something needed attention. As a Gen X woman, I was trained to power through discomfort—to ignore my needs until breaking point. People used to call me Wonder Woman because I just kept going no matter what. It served me well... until it didn't.Our bodies hold onto everything we've experienced—physical, emotional, spiritual. When we consistently ignore what we need, our bodies eventually force us to stop through pain or illness. But there's another way. By pausing to ask "what do I actually need right now?" we can break the cycle of pushing until we break. This simple practice of presence allows us to tune into our mind, body, and spirit before we reach crisis point.If you're running on empty and struggling to hear what your body is telling you, know that it's not too late to change the pattern. Grab my free guide "Five Ways to Practice Presence" from the show notes and start today. Remember, you don't need permission to take care of yourself—but if you do, consider it granted. The world needs what only you have to offer, but first, you need to take care of the vessel delivering those gifts.5 Ways to Practice Presence

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the question: How do we know God exists? Today we will wrap up our discussion of St. Thomas Aquinas's Five Ways by analysing the Fourth Way (the argument from gradation/degree) and the Fifth Way (the argument from order). Aquinas' Five Ways are among the most famous arguments for the existence of God, and they have been hugely influential in the history of the Philosophy of Religion. They have also been at times misunderstood and misrepresented, so in this series, we're taking the time to delve deep and understand what, exactly, Aquinas is arguing. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon!⁠⁠Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/⁠References and further reading/listening/viewing:Summa Theologiae Part 1, Question 2⁠⁠Summa Contra Gentiles⁠Edward Feser:⁠Aquinas: A Beginner's Guide⁠⁠Five Proofs of the Existence of GodEmpirical science and the transcendentalsFour Causes and Five WaysRéginald Garrigou-Lagrange, ⁠The one God: a commentary on the first part of St. Thomas' Theological summa.The Thomistic Institute: St. Thomas Aquinas' Fifth Way & Arguments from Modern Science (Aquinas 101)St. Thomas' SIMPLEST Proof for the Existence of God (Aquinas 101)Thomas Joseph White #9: The Fifth Way (I, 2, 3)Thomas Joseph White #8: The Fourth Way (I, 2, 3)Why is the Fourth Way the LEAST Popular of St. Thomas' Five Ways?

Episode Summary: If you've ever had a student who reads “c...a...t...” and by the time they finish the sentence, they can't remember what it was about, this episode is for you! Today, we're diving into a super common (and totally normal!) stage of early reading: sound-by-sound decoding — why students get stuck there, and how to help them move into smoother, more confident word reading. You'll walk away with simple, practical steps you can start using tomorrow to bridge the gap from choppy decoding to fluent reading. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why students get stuck in sound-by-sound reading How to check and strengthen decoding foundations Blending strategies that actually make reading easier How to use blending lines for daily fluency practice What comes next after students move past sound-by-sound reading Key Takeaways: ✅ Accuracy always comes before speed — strengthen the foundation first ✅ Teach and model blending explicitly (traditional, successive, and continuous) ✅ Use blending lines daily for structured, targeted practice ✅ Celebrate small wins — fluency is built word by word!

Send us a textGrief touches us all, yet we rarely understand its full complexity until we drown in it. Beyond the passing of loved ones, grief emerges when we lose jobs, places, relationships, and even versions of ourselves we've outgrown. When was the last time you allowed yourself to fully feel a loss instead of pushing forward?In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of avoiding grief for decades and the surprising breakthrough that came in my fifties. After rushing past denial, anger, bargaining, and depression to reach acceptance throughout my life, my brother's passing changed everything. For the first time, I allowed myself to experience the full weight of loss without shutting down. This newfound emotional connection transformed not just how I processed his death but how I experienced a later move from Guam—marking the first time I genuinely missed a place I'd left behind.The truth about grief is stunningly simple yet profoundly difficult to embrace: we are all born sensitive beings meant to experience the full spectrum of human emotion. When we shut down grief, we also inadvertently close ourselves to joy. Through practical approaches like writing memory-focused letters, seeking professional support, and practicing presence within each stage of grief, we can honor our losses while still finding moments of light.Whether you're personally navigating grief or supporting someone through it, remember that grief follows no timeline. Loneliness often hits hardest about six weeks after loss, when most support has faded. Your presence then—a simple "how can I help?" rather than "let me know if you need anything"—could be exactly what someone needs to feel less alone in their ocean of grief.Ready to bring more mindfulness to your grief process?

Eden and Langdon both exist (maybe) and with this snippet of existence, they discuss the historiography of the Paris Commune on the left and suggest a proper position (empathy) towards its hopes and failures. Then, they discuss the beautiful and problematic "Five Ways to Forgiveness" by Ursula K. Le Guin, a short story suite about slavery, feminism, war and Hain.

Derailers (the things that can get us off track) can be some of the most challenging aspects of our personality patterns to confront.It's easier to share the strengths and skills of each Type, but most of the time our path for growth isn't about getting better at something. It's more about removing what's in the way of where we are now so we can get to where we want to go.Taking an honest look and reflecting on where some of our recurring challenges are isn't easy. But it can be incredibly helpful in our personal growth and in our professional development.These derailers represent common obstacles for Ones. While they may not apply to every individual One or apply all the time, they reflect general tendencies that can arise for this Type.If you're still working to uncover your dominant Enneagram type, seeing a few of these in yourself may help you narrow it down.If you already identify as a Type 1 is there anything you'd add to the "getting back on track" section that's been helpful for you?Have a request for a future episode?

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into one of the least talked about struggles of leadership in law enforcement and first responder careers—loneliness (Amazon Affiliate). Moving into a leadership role comes with increased responsibility, difficult decision-making, and a shift in relationships with peers. Many leaders find themselves caught between admin and their team, feeling disconnected from both. But leadership doesn't have to mean isolation. This episode breaks down why leadership can feel lonely and provides five practical ways to maintain connections, balance authority, and lead without feeling alone. 1. Why Leadership Can Feel Lonely in First Responder Professions You go from being “one of the guys” to being the person in charge. You may feel like you can't vent the same way you used to because others now look to you for stability. Peers may distance themselves out of fear of favoritism or because the dynamic has changed. You're expected to make tough, unpopular decisions, and that often puts you in a position of conflict. There's a pressure to appear strong and competent at all times, even when you're struggling. 2. Five Common Leadership Challenges (And How to Overcome Them) 1. The "Us vs. Them" Mentality Example: You were once part of the squad, joking around and bonding. Now, you're their supervisor, and some officers start seeing you as “management” instead of a friend. Remedy: Lead with fairness and transparency. Make it clear that your role may have changed, but you're still there to support them, not just enforce policies. 2. Feeling Like There's No One to Talk To Example: You used to confide in fellow officers about job stress, but now that you're in charge, you feel like you have to keep everything to yourself. Remedy: Find a trusted mentor or peer in leadership. Connecting with others who understand the struggles of leadership provides a healthy outlet for venting and advice. 3. Balancing Respect with Camaraderie Example: You want your team to trust you, but you also need to maintain authority. If you're too friendly, you risk losing their respect. If you're too distant, you lose their trust. Remedy: Be approachable but professional. Set boundaries, but also take time to connect with your team outside of disciplinary moments. Show that you care about them as people. 4. Carrying the Emotional Burden of Tough Decisions Example: You have to discipline an officer you used to be close with, and it weighs on you personally. Remedy: Separate personal feelings from professional responsibilities. A good leader makes tough decisions for the benefit of the entire team. You can be fair without feeling guilty. 5. Navigating the Politics of Leadership Example: Upper management pressures you to enforce policies that you don't fully agree with, putting you in a tough spot between your team and your superiors. Remedy: Advocate for your team while staying professional. Communicate concerns up the chain of command and look for ways to implement change from within. 3. Five Ways to Stay Connected Without Losing Authority 1. Keep an Open-Door Policy Encourage officers to bring concerns to you before they become bigger problems. Example: If an officer is struggling with burnout, help them find solutions before it affects performance. 2. Set the Tone for Team Culture Lead by example—demonstrate professionalism, respect, and teamwork. Example: If you expect officers to handle situations calmly under pressure, model that behavior yourself. 3. Invest in Leadership Training & Peer Networks Connect with other leaders in law enforcement to exchange experiences and strategies. Example: Attend training seminars, leadership workshops, or online forums to build your leadership skillset. 4. Show Appreciation & Recognition Small gestures go a long way in earning trust and respect. Example: Recognizing an officer's hard work publicly builds morale and strengthens team relationships. 5. Find Balance Outside of Work Don't let leadership consume your identity. Invest in hobbies, family, and friendships outside the job. Example: Having a strong personal support system makes it easier to handle the pressures of leadership. 4. Why This Matters: Leadership in first responder careers can feel isolating, but it doesn't have to be. By recognizing the common struggles, building strong connections, and maintaining a leadership mindset that values trust and fairness, you can lead with confidence without feeling alone. Listen now to gain leadership insights that will help you navigate the challenges of the role while staying connected with those who matter most!

Where are you at emotionally? Use this advice to help you Recognize Your Signal Lights

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle a frustrating reality that many officers face—being discriminated against simply for wearing the badge (Amazon Affiliate). In today's climate, law enforcement officers often find themselves unfairly judged in both professional and personal settings. Whether it's a store refusing service, a family member making anti-police comments, or people automatically assuming you're corrupt, these experiences can be frustrating, isolating, and even infuriating. So, how do you handle these situations without letting them eat away at you? In this episode, we discuss five real examples of discrimination against police officers and five ways to combat it with confidence and professionalism. 1. Understanding Why This Happens The anti-police narrative has been fueled by media bias, political agendas, and misinformation. Many people judge officers based on headlines, personal biases, or past experiences with authority. Unfortunately, this often leads to officers being treated unfairly in situations where they shouldn't have to justify their profession. 2. Five Common Examples of Discrimination Against Police Officers 1. Being Denied Service or Treated Poorly at Businesses Example: A restaurant refuses to serve uniformed officers or intentionally provides bad service because of their profession. Why It's a Problem: Officers deserve basic respect as customers, yet many face hostility in public spaces. 2. Friends or Family Making Anti-Police Comments Example: A family member constantly shares anti-police rhetoric or refuses to engage with you because of your job. Why It's a Problem: It creates tension and division within personal relationships, making officers feel unwelcome in their own families. 3. Social Media Backlash or Harassment Example: Posting about your career or a pro-law enforcement stance results in negative comments, online attacks, or even doxxing. Why It's a Problem: Officers have the right to express themselves, but many face hostility online simply for their profession. 4. Struggles in the Dating World Example: Some people refuse to date a cop because they assume officers are aggressive, untrustworthy, or emotionally unavailable. Why It's a Problem: These false stereotypes limit social opportunities and make building relationships harder. 5. Workplace Discrimination from Leadership or Peers Example: Officers who stand up for their values or voice concerns about policies are sometimes ostracized, overlooked for promotions, or retaliated against. Why It's a Problem: It creates a toxic work environment and discourages good officers from staying in the profession. 3. Five Ways to Combat Discrimination with Strength and Confidence 1. Stay Professional and Choose Your Battles Solution: If a business denies service, document the incident and choose whether to address it through official channels or walk away. Why It Works: Keeps you above the drama while ensuring accountability when needed. 2. Educate, But Don't Argue Solution: If family or friends misunderstand police work, offer facts and personal insights instead of debating. Why It Works: Informed discussions can shift misconceptions, but arguing rarely changes minds. 3. Set Boundaries Online and in Personal Life Solution: Be mindful of what you post, block toxic people, and don't engage in unnecessary social media battles. Why It Works: Protects mental health and personal safety while avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 4. Find a Strong Support System Solution: Surround yourself with like-minded friends, fellow officers, and supportive communities that respect your profession. Why It Works: Helps reduce stress and reminds you that you're not alone in these experiences. 5. Know When to Walk Away and When to Stand Up Solution: Choose when to push back on discrimination and when it's better to let it go and move forward. Why It Works: Keeps your energy focused on what matters instead of letting negativity drain you. 4. Why Officers Must Stay Resilient in Today's Climate Officers must learn how to navigate unfair treatment without letting it impact their confidence, integrity, or sense of purpose. The best response to discrimination is to remain professional, stay strong, and continue doing the job with honor. 5. Final Thoughts: The Bigger Picture While discrimination against officers is real, it does not define who you are. By staying grounded in your purpose, surrounding yourself with supportive people, and setting boundaries, you can thrive in your career and personal life. Listen now to learn how to handle discrimination with confidence, protect your peace, and continue serving with pride.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into a critical but often overlooked topic: how generational trauma (Amazon Affiliates) affects first responder families. Many officers, firefighters, and military personnel carry the emotional weight of their careers, but what happens when that weight unknowingly gets passed down to their children? Growing up in a household shaped by high-stress professions can leave lasting emotional imprints. If left unaddressed, children of first responders may inherit anxiety, emotional suppression, or a distorted view of relationships and authority. The good news? This cycle can be broken. You'll learn how generational trauma affects first responder families, five common ways trauma is passed down, and five strategies to break the cycle and create a healthier emotional legacy for your children. What You'll Learn: 1. What is Generational Trauma in First Responder Families? Understand how the high-stress, hyper-vigilant, and emotionally demanding nature of first responder work influences family dynamics across generations. 2. Five Ways Trauma is Passed Down in First Responder Families: 1. Emotional Suppression Becomes the Norm Example: A firefighter father never talks about work stress, so his children learn to bottle up emotions rather than express them. Why It's Harmful: Kids may struggle to process emotions in healthy ways and grow up believing that showing feelings is a weakness. 2. Overprotectiveness Creates Fear-Based Parenting Example: A law enforcement officer constantly warns their kids about the dangers of the world, making them anxious and afraid to take risks. Why It's Harmful: Instead of feeling secure, children develop hypervigilance and may struggle with independence or decision-making. 3. A Culture of "Toughness" Replaces Emotional Connection Example: A military parent teaches their children that crying is for the weak and that they should always "suck it up." Why It's Harmful: Kids internalize that their feelings don't matter, leading to difficulty forming emotional connections in adulthood. 4. Work Stress Becomes Family Stress Example: A first responder comes home exhausted and short-tempered, unintentionally taking out work frustrations on their spouse and kids. Why It's Harmful: This creates an unpredictable home environment, leading to emotional instability for children. 5. Avoidance of Difficult Topics Example: A retired officer never discusses their struggles with PTSD, leaving their kids to wonder why they are emotionally distant or disengaged. Why It's Harmful: Kids inherit the belief that mental health struggles should be hidden, preventing them from seeking help when needed. 3. Five Ways to Avoid or Correct This Cycle: 1. Normalize Open Conversations About Emotions Solution: Make it safe for your kids to express how they feel without fear of judgment. Share your emotions (in an age-appropriate way) and teach them that it's okay to talk about tough things. Why It's Beneficial: Builds emotional intelligence and resilience, allowing kids to process emotions in a healthy way. 2. Set Clear Boundaries Between Work and Home Life Solution: Create rituals for decompressing after work (e.g., listening to music, exercising, prayer) before stepping into family life. Why It's Beneficial: Helps prevent bringing work stress home and allows children to experience a more stable and secure environment. 3. Balance Safety Awareness with Encouraging Independence Solution: Instead of constantly warning kids about dangers, teach situational awareness and critical thinking skills. Why It's Beneficial: Reduces anxiety and fear-based parenting, allowing children to grow into confident and capable individuals. 4. Show Affection and Encourage Emotional Connection Solution: Hug your kids, tell them you love them, and be present in their lives beyond discipline or structure. Why It's Beneficial: Teaches them that strength and vulnerability can coexist, making them emotionally secure adults. 5. Seek Therapy or Peer Support When Needed Solution: If you're struggling with past trauma, don't be afraid to seek professional help—whether it's therapy, faith-based counseling, or a peer support group. Why It's Beneficial: Models healthy coping mechanisms and teaches kids that mental health is just as important as physical health. 4. How to Foster a Healthier Emotional Legacy for Your Children: Discover daily habits and mindset shifts that will help you break unhealthy patterns and raise emotionally strong, well-adjusted kids. 5. Why First Responder Families Must Prioritize Mental Health Together: Learn how prioritizing emotional wellness as a family strengthens relationships and helps future generations thrive. Why This Matters: First responder families face unique challenges, but trauma doesn't have to be passed down. By recognizing the patterns, prioritizing emotional well-being, and fostering open communication, you can create a family dynamic that is both strong and emotionally healthy. Listen now to learn how to break the cycle and build a legacy of resilience for your family!

We suck at fulfilling the implied or explicit promises we make through our coffee shop marketing. Smiling faces with beautiful drinks and a clean environment with plenty of verbiage about values and mission. Lots of good vibes.
