How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your Sh*t with Tom Senior

In this episode, I sit down with West End musical theatre star Tom Senior, known for iconic roles including Gaston in Beauty and the Beast and Kenickie in Grease. While his career on stage has been massive, Tom has since built a hugely successful online coaching business, which is now his main priority.

Now running the online platform Powerful Performers with his fiancée Mimi, Tom helps artists get into the best shape of their lives, while navigating the demands of the industry.

In this open and honest conversation, Tom speaks candidly about the struggles he faced while acting, including insomnia, burnout, and the constant juggle between work, training and everyday life. He shares the routines and habits that helped him find balance, and how shifting his focus towards helping others has given him a renewed sense of purpose.

It’s a powerful, practical and inspiring episode for anyone trying to build a sustainable career in the performing arts.
