-----------------------------
Somewhere underneath the choice to perform is a desire to feel truly seen.
This session sits with that desire directly, without treating it as something to explain away or apologize for. We'll talk about where that need for recognition comes from and what happens when it goes unmet. No verdicts about whether wanting this is healthy or unhealthy. Just an honest look at something most of us carry and rarely say out loud.
About this Space
This work asks a lot of us. The feelings that come with it deserve somewhere to go.
Rejection, comparison, the question of whether it's still worth what it costs. Anyone who has chosen this life knows its weight. Most rooms in this industry exist to fix it: classes, coaching, notes. This room exists to feel it, together.
Who Am I?
Hi, I'm Gianni. I’m an actor based in Los Angeles working across screen and stage. My background in the performing arts has shaped my interest in storytelling and the ways people make meaning of their experiences. Living with narcolepsy and ADD has also deepened my perspective on self-compassion and personal growth. Outside of acting, I enjoy cooking with my wife, playing trading card games, watching films, and singing.
How Does it Work?
This is an open, guided discussion led by your Keeper, Gianni. Each participant will have the opportunity to listen to and share experiences on anxiety, well-being, emotions, and whatever else comes up during the session.
When and How Do We Meet?
We meet digitally to make participation easy for those with demanding schedules. Cameras are optional, and you’re welcome to join from wherever you are, even between shifts. We only ask that you find a private place to join or use headphones to help maintain the security of everyone present.
