Cracking On with Sam Frost and Sarah Roberts

Award-winning actor Susie Porter has built an extraordinary career, but behind the success were years of uncertainty, self-doubt, and learning how to keep going when things didn’t go to plan. Joining Sam and Sarah, she reflects on the mindset shifts, spiritual practices, and life lessons that helped her navigate the unpredictable world of acting. From manifestation and gratitude to love, advocacy, and the healing power of service, this is a thoughtful conversation about trusting the journey and staying open to what comes next.   Guest Susie Porter (Wentworth, Puberty Blues, The Artful Dodger)  Insta @_susieporter_ And we encourage you to support these charities Susie mentioned in this episode: World Animal Protection worldanimalprotection.org.au Animals Asia animalsasia.org Voiceless voiceless.org.au Sydney Dogs & Cats Home sydneydogsandcatshome.org DoggieRescue.com (Monika's Rescues) doggierescue.com Nup to the Cup nuptothecup.org *Hosted by Sam Frost and Sarah Roberts, Cracking On is a podcast about the beautiful chaos of picking yourself up, resetting, and getting on with it.
