Build Without Breaking

Real Talk with No PerformanceLaunching Late 2026

The Podcast

If you’ve trained as an Actor, you’ll know the saying “We break you down to build you up again.”
That saying has never sat right with me.Build Without Breaking is a solo-hosted interview podcast about training, mental health, and the harmful things we were told were ‘just a part of the industry’.
Through honest conversations with guests at different stages of their careers, we unpack what it actually felt like to be in training, what followed us into our professional lives, and which practices and sayings we’re now unlearning.
Each guest is also asked one core question: if you could go back in time and erase one harmful phrase or practice in the performing arts, what would it be - and what would you replace it with?It’s about reflection, care, and imagining healthier ways of becoming - for students, graduates, and professionals who want to build without being broken down.
