In our first episode, Jennifer talks to Alicia Albright about how we hope to be remembered, how we can fulfill our life’s purpose by finding moments to make life more full, and how to show up and bring one’s “heart light” to change the people & rooms around us. They share exercises in finding one’s life purpose phrase, sending love ahead, and tapping to feel how you feel and moving through. ‘Mostly, there is laughter, tears, hope & joy – all with the purpose of expanding what it means to grow as humans and artists through self-expression and embracing how we can not hold on too tightly in order to share the light within us that makes a difference.

Welcome to the Empowered Artist Collective Podcast! This is a space in which we will have insightful conversations with fellow artists about all sorts of things that pertain to our personhood and our artistry. 

I'm Jennifer Apple, Founder & Executive Director of the Empowered Artist Collective and a multi-hat-wearing artist, singer, actor, coach with an MFA in Acting who has been super privileged to perform regionally, on camera, and on a Broadway tour. I believe that we can do much better at empowering artists with life skills and business tools to actually set them up for long-term success, whatever that is for them and that is how EAC came to be! 

Join our community of women and non-binary artists seeking a thriving and sustainable career in the arts as we ask hard questions, sit with open-ended answers or perhaps no answers at all, share resources and hopefully expand the dialogue around all the aspects of our industry that so many are not talking about in an open forum. 

Whether you are an actor, singer, dancer, performer, writer, director, creator, theater and tv/film lover... If you are someone who is curious about others’ artistic experiences, believe that being an artist is about more than just the auditions you book, think this industry is in need of change, and want to get a personal glace at what's going on behind the curtain: this is the podcast for you!

Episodes will be released weekly, so light a candle, grab a friend, and your notebook.

Let’s be in community together. Let’s support one another. Let’s make this journey a little less isolating and more inclusive.
