Ready to go from “starving artist” to thriving creative?
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.

What do you do when life feels like too much?
How do you stay connected to your artistry when grief, uncertainty, loss, and the sheer weight of being human come knocking?
And what if your creativity isn’t something you need to protect from the difficult parts of life, but one of the very things that can help carry you through them?
In this deeply moving episode of Thriving Artists: The Daily Joyride, I sit down with coach and consultant Anna K. Morris for a conversation about feeling it ALL and discovering the agency, freedom, and even joy available when we stop resisting what is already here.
Anna shares her journey from abandoning early dreams of performing in order to belong, to moving to New York at 21 and living through 9/11, to eventually finding her way back to herself through transformational work, embodiment, intuition, and art.
We also venture into profoundly personal territory as Anna shares the loss of her mother to stage-four pancreatic cancer, navigating her father’s Alzheimer’s and stage-four bladder cancer, and what grief has taught her about acceptance, resilience, creativity, and choosing life exactly as it is.
This conversation isn’t about pretending everything is wonderful.
It’s about discovering how much life becomes available when we stop fighting what’s here.
Feel it. Tell the truth. Create from there.
That, my friends, is where freedom begins.
