From Zero Credits to 24+: Betsy Borrego’s Mindset Shift That Changed Everything
Actress Betsy Borrego (Insta: @itsbetsy) joins Dean to kick off Season 2 with a raw, funny, and wildly honest conversation about the mindset shifts that took her from theater to screen and into 24+ film and TV credits — even through the pandemic, industry shutdowns, and the chaos of strikes.
In this episode, Betsy breaks down the moment everything changed: moving from traditional acting techniques into deeper self-work, identity awareness, and what she calls “waking up.” Dean walks her through the inner rewires, the ego checks, and the toolbox mentality that helped her transition into a consistently working actor.
They talk:
Acting as self-discovery
Why mindset became Betsy’s secret weapon
How to build characters through humanity instead of “performance”
What directors actually respond to
Set stories from Renfield, Cloak & Dagger, Daisy Jones & The Six, and more
The moment Betsy realized she had to switch coaches, switch strategy, and switch identity
