Moving to a city like Los Angeles or New York can be pretty daunting – especially as an aspiring actor – but not for Chelsea Blechman, who has successfully conquered both. Not only has she succeeded in acting (including a role on TNT’s Animal Kingdom), but as a producer to boot. Listen in as Chelsea and I talk about staying grounded while chasing dreams, and playing an active role in your successes. Chelsea also goes into detail about navigating being a woman in Hollywood, from being an acting coach to body standards and filming a nude scene for television. We chat about how she met her husband, professional actor and dancer Nick Drago and how they have made it through the ups and downs of marriage: including her suddenly-onset chronic illness shortly after they exchanged vows. You will absolutely fall in love with Chelsea, just like I did 15 years ago – she is the epitome of beauty and brains, with a big dose of laughter thrown in.
