#12: Jodie Bentley | Branding Meets Belonging | Coaching 2,300+ Actors to Own Their Power

Jodie Bentley, powerhouse coach in the entertainment world, shares how she transformed from a struggling actor to helping thousands of creatives pursue their dreams through strategic branding and self-confidence techniques.

• Jodie has coached over 2,300 actors across 17 countries since 2008, helping them book major gigs and build thriving careers
• Breaking through limiting beliefs is crucial; Jodie struggled with feeling undeserving of success until she tackled her mindset
• Branding isn't limiting, it's empowerment—take control of how you're perceived rather than letting others define you
• Understanding yourself from your perspective AND how others perceive you creates powerful alignment in your career
• Jodie recommends declaring your intentions publicly to create accountability and momentum
• Social media presence matters to casting directors who often research actors to understand their essence and energy
• Perfect isn't possible—focus instead on consistent action and showing up even when things feel messy
• Confidence comes from "belonging to yourself" and showing up authentically without judgment, shame or apology
• Courage to take bold moves before feeling ready is what creates real progress
