Meet Your Mentor

Hi, I’m Ashlee Espinosa—a professional actress, educator, and career coach with over two decades of experience in musical theatre. With an MFA in Musical Theatre and a background as a university professor, I’ve helped countless performers navigate their careers with confidence and clarity. I’m also currently auditioning, performing, and working in the industry myself, so I understand exactly what you’re going through because I’m right there with you.

These challenges were originally created exclusively for members of my mentorship program, The Empowered Actor. They became such a favorite among my members that I decided to open them up to all performers—whether or not you’re part of the mentorship—so more people can benefit from the guidance, structure, and inspiration they provide. Through these monthly challenges, I’m excited to share my expertise and guide you toward your goals—one actionable step at a time.

In their own words

  • "I love them, they give me a specific goal to help better myself. It’s not always easy to give yourself goals, as this career is overwhelming by nature, so it gives a concrete thing to work towards."

  • "It also would remind me to look at parts of my career that I have let "get stale" and spruce them up a bit."

  • Saying you have a month to complete this one item is a great way to task things that might seem a bit overwhelming. The challenges are also nicely balanced between casual refreshes, mental self check-ins, and the completion of tougher obstacles."

  • "Personally, I love them! I find it beneficial to have something specific to focus on improving."
