Embracing Change with Melissa Carnahan

Today we welcome Melissa Carnahan, a stage manager, gardener and actor. Melissa and I talk about how she got started in theatre, and explore the creativity of stage managing and gardening. We discuss the importance of feeding creativity, making art and how we are all here to learn and help each other grow. Melissa also shares how her acting in improvisational theatre has positively impacted her ability to roll with change.
