Sainty, you have been very busy in the film and television industry! How do you keep your energy up when working on projects?
Oh my goodness!!! I think I have Starbucks running through my veins at this point, LOL. I drink at least 3 Ventis a day! Whoops!
What is a typical day like for you?
Day-to-day changes! I usually wake up around 5-6 am with my MickMan and get some playtime with him before Molly Morgan wakes up. We take MM to school around 9 am. I have a babysitter come to watch Mick while I do auditions and catch up on emails. I grab Molly Morgan at 12 and give the kids both lunch. After lunch, I usually record one of my series! Nighttime is dedicated to the kiddos or some kind of charity event.
What is your top focus of all the things you do in your career?
I am GREAT at multi-tasking, so to be honest- whatever I am working on at that moment is my top focus.
Do you have a motto or mantra you apply to work, life, or both?
NEVER STOP HUSTLING!!!
Tell us about your latest projects; Gabby’s Dollhouse, Spidey and Friends, and The Will Rogers story.
Gabby’s Dollhouse just released Season 7 on Netflix! We have a ton more seasons coming your way.
I wish I could announce my involvement with Spidey, but let me just tell you… IT’S GOING TO BE EPIC! (Disney has announced that Episodes 9-12 from Season 2 of “Spidey and His Amazing Friends” are on Disney+ in the United States starting Wednesday, March 8, 2023.)
We are currently in the development stage of The Will Roger’s Story!
Do you have any advice for people going into this industry?
Classes, Classes, and more Classes. 90% of the time, you are being told no. So, you MUST love the passion and hustle of the experience.
As a public figure, how do you think being hailed as a role model impacts others, and what pressure does it put on you?
I just try to remain positive and show people you can maintain a healthy work and life balance.
If someone were to make your life into a movie, who would play you?
Emily Osment, hands down!
