Amanda Booth: Acting, Motherhood & Taking Control of Your Career
Wednesday, 23 September, 2026
Colleen Foy sits down with actor, model, producer, and advocate Amanda Booth to reflect on the unexpected path that took her from being a small-town athlete on a college scholarship to modeling in New York and Europe, and eventually to building a career in commercials and acting in Los Angeles.Amanda opens up about navigating the entertainment industry, becoming a mother to her son, Micah, in 2014, and how his Down syndrome and autism diagnosis caused her to reevaluate her priorities and redefine her sense of self. She shares what it took to rediscover her boundaries, identity, and balance, and how the loss of her brother, Julian, profoundly shaped her perspective.Colleen and Amanda also dive into Amanda's evolution from actor to producer, how her personal experiences influence the work she creates, and what it means to take control of your creative career and finally make the kinds of stories she's always wanted to see.00:00 Meet Amanda Booth01:23 Small Town to New York02:14 Modeling Breakthrough03:27 LA Move and Commercial Niche05:47 Advice on Balance07:11 Finding Ease on Set10:23 Motherhood Changes Everything12:50 Boundaries and Hustle15:44 Loss and Perspective17:47 Auditions as Play19:45 Producing for Inclusion23:17 Next Projects and Vic27:38 Private Road Deep Dive33:18 Dream Disability Stories37:53 Life in Austin39:31 Micah and Representation42:37 Stan Kirsch Studio Journey44:20 Closing ThanksEPISODE LINKS:· Amanda Booth IMDb· Follow Amanda on IG @amanda_booth· Supporting “Casting Christmas”Host: Colleen FoyProducer: Kristyn DanielMusic by: Lindsay Boreing and Will Boreing________________Want to learn more about Stan Kirsch Studios?
