The Brain of an Artist with Emilie Leyes Artwork

Mindset in the Making

Mindset in the Making is a space where we talk about Spirituality, Perfectionism and the Theatre and Dance Industry all through the lens of Mindset and Manifestation. I'm on a mission to eliminate the hustle mentality amongst performers by showing them they are innately worthy of their deepest desires and have the power to create a life they actually enjoy. We get open and honest real quick here, so pull up a chair and let's get started.

The Brain of an Artist with Emilie Leyes

May 02, 2022 • Rachel Josefina • Episode 69

Have you ever wondered what is actually happening inside the brain of an artist? How does this mindset stuff actually work and is there science to back it up?
This week I am joined by the incredible Emilie Leyes, a NYC based actor, singer, and brain training and resilience specialist for performers. She helps actors use mental practice to build resilience to prevent taking on the stress of their roles and careers, cultivate confidence and creativity on a neurological level, and prime their brains to align with their goals. She is also currently working toward her Masters and Phd in Mind-Body Medicine, where she is researching the psychophysiology of acting.
So needless to say this conversation was amazing and it's one you will want to come back to again and again!
