Episode Synopsis

Is it any surprise that theatre has once again changed my life for good? I’m weaving together core messages and learnings from three different plays - Wicked (of course), Stephen Sondheim’s musical Company, and my one-woman show Au Naturel. Listen in to find out how these all connect and how they’ve all journeyed with me in some major life processing over the past 6 months. I’m exploring deep raw relationships with our bodies, with others, and with the environment, and opening up about my experiences with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, mental health, and fear of rejection. What would life and our relationships look like if we stopped only showing the best, the most attractive versions of ourselves? If we instead let people in to see our beautiful messes deep below the surface?

You can help me continue peeling back the curtain to see and call out the ways patriarchy and other systems manifest in our world today by buying a virtual coffee (or some green elixir or whatever kind of swankified drink you prefer in the land of Oz).
