  • Ep. 48 - EPA Story Time (+ Announcement)!

    Hello Fabulous Friends - The time has come for the teacher (me) to become the student and get a move on this audition season so she can get #booked and have more enthralling tales for you! 

    If you missed the announcement at the end, I will be on a hiatus unless any of y'all need me. In that case, send me a message @bookedandblessedpod or @karisahope on Instagram & I'll be all over it! You know I always have your back.

    I'm looking forward to seeing some of the Booked & Blessed Fam at auditions - so if you see me at Pearl, Ripley, Actor's Equity, or wherever, please say hi!

    I hope you have a markedly-better-than-average Monday & an even better rest of your week - Let's get booked & blessed, y'all!

    Also, do NOT, whatever you do, be the person who volunteers to transfer the unofficial list just to skip ahead in line!!! Love ya <3
