Today I'm in conversation with director and consultant Tamanya Garza.

We talk about parent-inclusive scheduling, how to "ask bigger and dream better" as a parent artist, and how talking to your kid can be like a show's postmortem. Tamanya shares some soccer cleat enthusiasm, a great shoe box hack, and encouragement for documenting the time that "our memories will try to erase."
