Hello, beautiful friends, and welcome back to The Meredith Patterson Podcast.
Today I'm joined by someone whose work I deeply admire — Dr. Albert Bramante.
Albert is a Ph.D. psychologist, a certified hypnotherapist, a talent agent, and the author of Rise Above the Script: Confronting Self-Doubt and Mastering Self-Sabotage for Performing Artists.
For more than two decades, Albert has worn many hats: adjunct psychology professor, performance coach, and now the founder of Bramante Artists, a selective New York talent agency. What I love most about Albert is how he bridges science and soul — using research on self-defeating behaviors, neuroplasticity, and performance psychology to help creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals step into the identity of who they want to become.
And today, we're going to talk about so many wonderful topics, self-sabotaging behaviors in performing artists and how to rewire our inner scripts to align with success.
If you want to connect more with Albert, check out his book Rise Above the Script, his Substack newsletter Mindset Corner, and his work at Bramante Artists.

And for you listening — I hope you take one brave action today as if you are already that future version of yourself. Because the truth is, you are becoming right now.
As always, remember: bliss is your birthright
