Curious how to build a meaningful career without sacrificing your soul?
What if the path to thriving starts when you stop trying to be perfect and show up in your art with your whole heart?
You’re in the right place.
Welcome to Thriving Artists: The Daily Joyride with Robyn Cohen — the podcast for actors, artists, and creatively courageous humans who are ready to ditch the starving artist story and step fully into their power, purpose and full self-expression.
Hosted by award-winning actor, director, and high-performance coach Robyn Cohen, this show is a bold, loving, joy-fueled rebellion against the myth that you have to suffer to succeed.
Each week, you’ll hear raw, real, soul-stirring conversations with industry powerhouses, creative visionaries, celebs and working artists who have built fulfilling, sustainable, thriving careers — on their own terms. It’s a spirited reminder that your creativity isn’t a curse — it’s your greatest asset. And you can dare to dream BIG and live even BIGGER.
You’ll walk away with:
– The unshakable belief that YES — you can thrive as an artist
– Powerful tools to calm your nerves, own the room, and book more work
– Guidance from artists who alchemized struggle into stardust
– A fierce creative tribe to remind you: you’re not just built for this — you were born for it
We’re building a new story here. One where artists rise. One where joy is strategy. One where thriving isn’t the exception — it’s the expectation.
Let’s ride. Let’s thrive. Together.
