How to Become a Mesmerizing Actor | The Hypnosis Method That Changes Everything with Joe Tabbanella

The One Breath Every Actor Needs | Artist & Harvard-Trained Therapist Daniella DeVarney

What if one conscious breath could begin changing your relationship with anxiety… creativity… performance… and even your life? What if the body already knows how to heal, and we’ve simply forgotten how to listen? And what if becoming a better actor actually begins by becoming a more regulated human being? In this deeply nourishing episode of Thriving Artists: The Daily Joyride, Robyn Cohen sits down with one of her dearest friends, Daniella DeVarney—actor, dancer, Harvard-trained therapist, yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, Wellness Walks founder, mother, and one of the wisest, kindest human beings you’ll ever meet. Together they explore how breath, movement, nervous system regulation, community, creativity, and meaningful relationships help us expand our capacity for life. Daniella shares the remarkable research behind a simple breath practice shown to improve sleep, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase resilience after only a few days of practice. But this conversation goes far beyond breathing. It’s about becoming more fully alive. Whether you’re an actor, artist, parent, entrepreneur, or simply someone longing for a little more ease, joy, and wholeness, this episode is an invitation to come home to yourself. In this episode… • How breathwork changes the nervous system • Why actors need regulation before performance • The surprising Harvard research on breath and resilience • Moving from debilitating shyness to a creative life • Why relationships are one of the greatest predictors of longevity • Walking as therapy and the origins of EMDR • Expanding your capacity for joy, creativity, and life • Following intuition without abandoning practicality • The healing power of community • What thriving really looks like Connect with Daniella DeVarney Instagram: @DaniellaDeVarney [https://www.instagram.com/DANIELLADEVARNEY] 🎭 Come Experience the Work If you’d like to experience this work in real time… Join Robyn Cohen’s professional acting community. ✨ First-time auditors are invited free.

How to Stop Giving Away Your Power | Sovereignty for Actors with Camila Greenberg

What if your creativity, confidence, and freedom were waiting on the other side of reclaiming your sovereignty? And what if the “no” you’ve been resisting was actually redirecting you toward the life and artistry meant for you all along? In this expansive and deeply energizing episode of Thriving Artists: The Daily Joyride, host Robyn Cohen welcomes Camila Greenberg, sovereignty coach, intuitive healer, artist, podcast host, former child television star, and founder of Soul Space, for a conversation about creativity, agency, authenticity, surrender, and what it really means to trust your path as an artist and human being. They discuss handling rejection in auditions by questioning the meaning assigned to a “no,” tracking how roles change you, and staying creative by accepting what is, while tapping into mystical and synchronistic energies. Cohen shares acting training opportunities as vessel-building for story and invites listeners to connect for details on online and in-person acting community options.
