In this laughter-filled episode, Kaitlin speaks with Athena Reich—an actress, singer, songwriter, the “World’s Top Lady Gaga impersonator,” and queer, single-by-choice mother—about her remarkable artistic journey and personal fertility experience. Athena’s critically acclaimed comedy show Lady Gaga #ARTBIRTH explores the intersection of art and birth in a raw, hilarious, and unforgettable performance that earned her a Time Out Critics’ Pick in NYC, and which Kaitlin describes as “the most grotesquely beautiful and perfectly Lady Gaga-esque birth you could ever imagine.”
The conversation delves into Athena's path to parenthood- highlighted in the Emmy-nominated documentary Vegas Baby- her experiences as a writer for outlets like HuffPost, Chatelaine, and Today’s Parent, and her latest venture: pursuing medical school while continuing to perform.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion that celebrates birth, art, resilience, and the courage to reinvent oneself.
