Episode 335: Dreams vs. Nightmares: What Are You Really Focused On?

core work May 07, 2025

Welcome back to the Acting Business Boot Camp podcast! 🎙️

I'm Peter Pamela Rose — casting director and certified life and career coach for actors. My mission? To help you break down the business of acting into clear, actionable steps that move your career forward.

In today’s episode, I dive into a powerful concept from Energy Leadership by Bruce D. Schneider — the idea that we are constantly choosing between two mindsets: the dream and the nightmare.

💭 Are you focused on the dream of your acting career?
Or are you unconsciously living in the fear-based nightmare?

You’ll learn:

  • The energetic difference between fear and love thought systems

  • How most actors get stuck in low-level energy (victimhood, passivity, conflict)

  • Journal prompts to help you shift into a dream-focused mindset

  • Why your thoughts directly impact the speed and direction of your success

  • A practical visualization exercise that will change how you show up

Plus, I’ll share a few personal stories from my coaching journey — including what I’ve learned from over two decades of helping actors tap into the truth of who they really are and what’s possible for them.
