We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Beatrice Amore a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Beatrice, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

I think the biggest risk I ever took was moving to San Francisco to study acting.

Before that, I spent nine months in San Diego in an international school. I always knew that experience had an end, so I thought I would just go back to Italy after. And I did. I went back to my hometown, Viterbo, but I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life.

During my time in San Diego, something changed in me. Being alone, far from home, in a completely different environment, I started to understand myself better. And I remembered something I had almost forgotten. When I was a child, I loved performing. I loved dancing, acting, singing, imitating people. I wanted people to watch me, especially my family. It made me feel alive.

But I never really considered acting as a real path. It felt too unrealistic, like saying “I want to be a professional athlete.” Something you dream about, but not something you actually choose.

After I came back to Italy, I spent months thinking. And then I decided to take the risk. With the support of my family, I moved to San Francisco and enrolled at the Academy of Art University.

It was a huge risk for me. Not just financially, but emotionally. I left my family, my brother and sister, who are everything to me. I left my friends, my grandparents, my life. I knew I would miss moments I could never get back.

Also, I didn’t really know the city. I had only been there once, for two days. And my English wasn’t strong enough. In San Diego, I was surrounded by international students, so the level was easier. In San Francisco, everything was different.

At the beginning, it was very hard. I didn’t understand everything in class. I couldn’t express myself the way I wanted. I felt uncomfortable in conversations. I was completely out of my comfort zone.

But slowly, things changed.

I adapted. I improved my English. I made friends. I built connections. I learned how to be alone without feeling lost. I faced loneliness in a deeper way and learned how to accept it instead of escaping it.

I also felt guided. I’m a spiritual person, and I always felt like my grandmother was with me. She passed away five years ago, but I still feel her presence. In some way, I felt like she was pushing me to follow this path.

Today, I can say that this risk changed my life. Not because everything became easy, but because I became stronger. San Francisco is now part of me. And for me, that is already success.

Beatrice, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I’m an Italian actress and creative based in San Francisco, and at my core, I bring energy. Not in a forced way, but in a very real, human way. People often tell me they feel comfortable around me, like they can be themselves without being judged. That matters to me more than anything.

Right now, I’m building my career in acting while also exploring modeling and content creation. I’ve always been very active and creative. Growing up, I practiced many sports, from dance to martial arts, and that discipline still shapes who I am today. It taught me consistency, resilience, and how to push through discomfort.

My connection to acting actually started when I was a child. I used to film scenes with my brother and sister, and we would spend hours watching them back, laughing and analyzing what we created. I didn’t realize it at the time, but that was the first moment I felt what it means to perform and to be seen.

For a long time, I didn’t consider acting as a real path. It felt too unrealistic. But over time, I realized that acting is not just about performing, it’s about understanding people. It allows you to study human behavior, emotions, and psychology on a deeper level. Through acting, I learned something very important: in real life, people are constantly acting, and the real work is learning how to stop acting and start living truthfully.

That’s also the kind of work I want to create. I’m not interested in perfection. I’m interested in truth. I want to create content and performances that make people feel seen, less alone, and more understood. Today, many people feel pressure to always be positive, but real growth often comes from difficult and uncomfortable experiences. I want to show that part too.

What sets me apart is that I don’t try to impress. I don’t try to be something I’m not. I focus on being real, even when it’s not perfect. I think people can feel that. I also have a strong sense of compassion. People naturally open up to me, even when they don’t know me well, and I see that as a responsibility. I want to use that connection in a meaningful way.

What I’m most proud of is the internal growth I’ve gone through. Moving to the United States alone, building a life in a new environment, facing language barriers, and learning how to be comfortable with myself, even in moments of loneliness. That process made me stronger and more aware.

Looking forward, I want to build a career where I can reach and impact as many people as possible, not just through acting, but through storytelling and honest communication. I want to create work that has emotional depth and that reflects real human experiences.

If there’s one thing I want people to understand about me, it’s that I’m not trying to be perfect. I’m trying to be real. And I want to give others the space to do the same.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

One book that had a strong impact on me is Ask and It Is Given by Esther Hicks. My dad gave it to me at a moment in my life when I was trying to understand myself and my direction more clearly.

What stayed with me the most is the idea that we are responsible for the way we think, and that our thoughts shape how we experience reality. It made me realize that staying in negative patterns, complaining, or feeling stuck doesn’t move anything forward. You have to become aware of your mindset and actively shift it.

For me, it’s not just about “thinking positive,” it’s about discipline. It’s about learning how to redirect your focus, even when things are not going your way, and choosing how you respond instead of reacting automatically.

I still go back to this book when I feel lost or overwhelmed. It helps me reset and come back to a clearer state of mind.

As an artist, this has influenced me a lot. Acting requires presence, awareness, and emotional control. The way you think affects how you show up, not only in your work but also in your life. This book helped me understand that connection more deeply.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

A moment where I had to pivot in my life happened not long after I moved to San Francisco.

After about three months, I got into a relationship and very quickly built a life around it. We moved in together, got a dog, and in a way, I created a sense of family. Looking back, I think part of that came from being far from my own family and wanting to fill that space.

After about a year, the relationship ended, and it didn’t end easily. From one moment to the next, I had to completely reset my life while staying in the same city. I suddenly had to find a new place to live on my own, take care of my dog, manage my finances, and rebuild my daily life without relying on someone else.

It was a very intense moment. I had to make decisions quickly and take full responsibility for myself in a way I hadn’t experienced before.

At the time, it felt overwhelming, but it became a turning point for me. Instead of going back to what felt safe, I chose to stay and build my own life independently. That shift changed my mindset. I became more open, more social, and more confident in myself.

Before that, I think I depended more on external stability. After that experience, I realized I could create my own.

Looking back, that moment forced me to grow up fast. It taught me resilience, independence, and the importance of building a life that is truly mine, not something built around someone else.
