Ep. 39: Walking Through Grief as a Working Actor with Dave Flannery
Grief impacts us all, regardless of our chosen career. But as an artist, a deep, emotional experience of this nature can be incredibly challenging to balance the personal work and our emotionally-based careers as actors. In this episode Alison talks with actor David Flannery who shares his personal experience walking through grief while pursuing a career as a working actor. Please note, this conversation involves frank talk of death and loss. We highly encourage you speak with a mental health counselor if you're walking through a hard time.
