Actress • Singer • Career Coach for Artists
I’m Ashlee Espinosa — a working actress and singer who helps artists build confident, sustainable, and profitable creative lives. Through mindset, career strategy, and modern business tools, I teach performers how to create freedom on and off stage without losing their joy.
Helping performers and creative entrepreneurs design careers that feel as alive and fulfilling as their art
Beyond the stage, it’s about building a sustainable creative life.
Through performance, mentorship, and creative strategy, I help artists and entrepreneurs design careers that support their artistry, their wellbeing, and their freedom.
Because success isn’t just about booking work — it’s about creating a life that fuels your art rather than drains it.

Meet Ashlee: Where Artistry Meets Entrepreneurship
I’ve spent over two decades performing and nearly a decade teaching in higher education — living both the magic and the burnout that come with a creative career.
Now, I’m an actress, coach, and entrepreneur who’s built a life that lets me create, perform, and build meaningful work on my own terms. I help other artists and creatives do the same — designing careers that are not only fulfilling but financially sustainable.
For me, success isn’t about fame or perfection. It’s about freedom — building something profitable and purposeful so you can keep creating without losing yourself along the way.
I work with performers, educators, and entrepreneurs who are ready to design lives that fit who they are now, not who they were told to be. Because thriving in the arts shouldn’t mean burning out or going broke.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Creative Life, On My Terms
From set life to stage lights, I love creating work that connects with people. Whether it’s performing, coaching, or collaborating, storytelling runs through everything I do.
Whether I’m rehearsing, auditioning, or mentoring, I’m building a creative life that blends artistry, business, and freedom — and helping others do the same.
