Actor, model, producer, and advocate Amanda Booth joins Colleen Foy on Where Working Actors Talk to discuss her unconventional path from small-town athlete to modeling in New York and Europe, and eventually building a career in commercials and acting in Los Angeles.

Amanda opens up about navigating the entertainment industry, becoming a mother to her son, Micah, in 2014, and how his autism diagnosis caused her to reevaluate her priorities and redefine her sense of self. She shares what it took to rediscover her boundaries, identity, and balance, and how the loss of her brother, Julian, profoundly shaped her perspective.

Colleen and Amanda also dive into Amanda’s evolution from actor to producer, how her personal experiences influence the work she creates, and what it means to take control of your creative career and finally make the kinds of stories she’s always wanted to see.
