S3 EP4 - BREATHE with David Josefsberg

28m · Published 28 Mar 07:00

David Josefsberg has been in 9 broadway shows, and most recently he had the great pleasure of playing my husband in Beetlejuice 😂. Staying on the topic of doing 8 shows a week, I interviewed David to find out his tricks. When you are put in for a show, it can be very stressful. You barely have any time to rehearse with the cast. I remember when David came into Beetlejuice and on his first night he had to close his dressing room door and take time to meditate before the show. He ended up doing a fantastic job, and I was really impressed with how he set boundaries and took that time for himself because he knew he needed it! Follow David on Instagram and TikTok @davidsjosefsberg. Learn about his classes at broadwaybreathwork.com, and learn more about the Target 100 program at target100.net.
