Setting Boundaries as Artists and New Parents by Alexandra Devin, LCAT, RDT

Setting Boundaries as Artists and New Parents by Alexandra Devin, LCAT, RDT

by Alexandra Devin | Apr 1, 2022 | Lifestyle, Mama Musings, Parenting, Support

I spent twelve years in the entertainment industry as an actor and playwright, and I had lousy boundaries.  Personal and professional lines get blurred frequently in the theatre, and the industry itself is rife with people who think it is just part of doing business...

ABOUT

Sing at Home Mom is a fresh, young blog with a unique angle - to help actors maneuver through that awkward space that exists between parenting and career. The key message of SAHM is to encourage actor-parents to embrace their career "hiatus" while raising their families.

It’s that time of year again! It’s blog hiatus It’s that time of year again! It’s blog hiatus time! I took a two month (well closer to three month) break from posting on the blog and social media last year and I have decided it will be a yearly tradition to clear my mind and refresh my love for this blog. And no, I don’t NOT love this blog but sometimes a break is necessary. It will give me a chance to reassess my goals, strategize and plan for the rest of the year. I want to scale and reach more moms, so that means taking care of the technical stuff. I didn’t end up getting my voice over situation started last year, but since both kids will be in school by September, it looks like a better time to get it sorted. I can spend the school day recording without interruption! I will be back in time for my birthday in August!

"I really had to channel my inner director standing in a rehearsal room with a plan, only to be met with obstacles from an actor or wrangling through a completely new perspective on the scene we hadn’t considered before. The best plans are there to fall back on, but you cannot be stringent with them." . . . . . . . . . . . . . #actorselfcare #mentalhealth #hollywood #theatremoms #theatre #theater #stagemanagerlife #theatrelife #broadwaymamas #singathomemom #yvonnedesalle #cindymariejenkins #selfcare #actorlife #actors #actress #musicaltheatre #musicaltheater #actorslife #broadwaylife #broadway #actormamas #broadwaymamas #actorlifestyle #toddlerhood #actormoms #affirmations #momlifestyleblogger #momlifebelike

Please welcome our newest contributor, Laura Bengs Please welcome our newest contributor, Laura Bengs! Laura pens this poetic missive about the delicate balance between work and home, the sacrifices that #theatremoms make, and the beauty within the chaos of motherhood and creativity. It made me look at my own toddler filled life with new, appreciative eyes. —————————— Excerpt from "From Techweek to Toddlers" I struggle to find the words to truly capture how motherhood changes your life and how theater consumes your life to people that aren’t experiencing it or aren’t familiar with it. Unless you’re along for the ride, I’m not sure the accuracy of the experience really can be captured. Yet, when people witness the product, either by witnessing dinner time for three picky eaters for the first time or by feeling the energy of an opening night, I’m often given appreciation in the form of, “How do you do that?” My answer: “I have no idea.” —————————— To read the whole post, click the link in the bio above! If you are an #actormom and want your voice on Sing at Home Mom, please DM me or visit the blog! Laura Bengs (she/her/hers) is a theater educator and freelance writer in the midwest. After directing for 14 years, she shifted her balance to include less teaching and more writing, freeing up time with her three joys: a son (5) and two daughters (3 and 8 months). Favorite current activities include puppet creation (and play), costumed dance parties, and crafting (yes, these theater genes are very strong). Her work has appeared in @milwaukeemag and @onstageblog . She is the author of genAnew. . . . . . . #actorselfcare #mentalhealth #hollywood #theatremoms #theatre #theater #stagemanagerlife #theatrelife #broadwaymamas #singathomemom #yvonnedesalle #selfcare #actorlife #actors #actress #filipinoactress #musicaltheatre #musicaltheater #actorslife #broadwaylife #broadway #actormamas #broadwaymamas #actorlifestyle #toddlerhood #actormoms #affirmations #momlifestyleblogger #laurabengs #momlifebelike
Hello friends! These are my auntie’s dogs who ar Hello friends! These are my auntie’s dogs who are in search of a #fosterhomefordogs while she is in the hospital battling COVID. Los Angeles area. If you can’t foster, please share the post and follow @realgoodrescue - they performed a Christmas miracle pulling them from the shelter. Thank you ❤️ #Repost @realgoodrescue with @make_repost ・・・ Hey Fam!!! Welcome Coco & Gringo who we scooped up on New Years Eve, from the Baldwin Park shelter. Shout out to @whit_m for being our getaway driver! Coco is a 13 year old Pomeranian and Gringo is her 6 year old blind brother who is a Dachshund mix. These kids were surrendered to the shelter after loosing their human 💔 Gringo was labeled as rescue only since he is blind and Coco was available for public adoption. Because they have been bonded for the past 6 years, we wanted to be sure they stayed together. They will be seeing one of our vets this week for a full work up. After being in the shelter for 2 weeks, we need a foster for these super mellow and low maintenance nuggets who can take both dogs together for the next 4 weeks. If that person is you, please tap the link in our bio for our foster application and email that to hello@realgood.dog #A4216899 #A4986555 #RealGoodRescue #RealGoodGang #ShelterDogsRock #PomeraniansOfInstagram #DachshundOfInstagram #BaldwinParkAnimalShelter
