  • Scarlett Moonbell - Finding Yourself through Improv and Laughing through Life's Challenges (S2: E12)

    I'm joined by my good friend and fellow improviser Scarlett Moonbell who (at the time of recording) was a TA for a few improv classes at the Hideout Theater in Austin. Scarlett is also transgender and neurodivergent; she credits much of her self-discovery in these aspects of life to doing improv, which she shares about in more depth during our conversation. 

    Thank you Scarlett for coming on the podcast -- I appreciate you a ton!

  • Mollie Kirby - Healing and Playing Post Divorce, Improv as a Tool for Vulnerability, and the Power of Saying Yes (S2: 11)

    I have a chat with my friend and fellow Austinite comedian Mollie Kirby about her journey of healing and playing after her divorce, saying yes to life's offers even when it felt painful and impossible to do so, and choosing resilience in a chaotic world.

    Mollie is one of the sweetest humans ever (and SO hilarious) so I hope y'all enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

    Thank you, Mollie!! You are a gem. <3

  • Theodore Johnson - Playing with Ego, Limiting Beliefs, and Sales (S2: E10)

    I'm joined by master salesman (and also my BFF Laura's fiancé) Theodore Johnson in this episode as we chat about (and ridicule) ego attachments, limiting beliefs, lacking money stories, and the sales process. Much of this episode is banter with a few moments of wisdom sprinkled in, so I hope y'all enjoy us bull$hitting as much as I do. :)

    Thank you Theo for coming on the pod! You a real one, G.

  • Bryan "Lubu" Roberts - Do the Creative Thing Even If You Suck at It (S2: E9)

    In this episode, I am joined by my good friend Lubu Roberts who has done comedy for 20+ years and credits it for giving his life more depth, meaning, and gratitude. Lubu spent most of his life assuming he would die young due to his cystic fibrosis. However, when he learned he could live much longer than expected, doing comedy became his way of not only improving his life but also processing the drastic shifts in his reality. We also do plenty of BSing in this episode because that's how we roll.

    Thank you Lubu for being on the pod; I'm glad you're alive, friend. :)

  • Linda Addis - Mysticism, Hail Mary Moments, Playing as a Woo Woo Witch B!tch (S2: E7)

    In this episode, I am joined by my friend and fellow mystic high priestess woo-woo woman Linda Addis. We chat about her journey of coming into the frequency of play as a woo-woo babe, her mystical journey into motherhood, our thoughts on indigo/light children, and her magical life manifestations.

    It's always refreshing to chat with Linda because I feel she is one of the few women that I can genuinely connect with about all the madness, fun, and joy of being a psychic witch bitch -- it feels incredibly validating for me and I hope it does for y'all too!

    Thank you Linda for coming on the pod -- I have eternal love for you sister. 🤍✨

  • Clay Drinko, PhD - Improv in Psychology, Scientific Research, and Playing Your Way Sane (S2: E4)

    In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Clay Drinko who published his book for practical improv "Play Your Way Sane," writes for Psychology Today, and studies/reports the scientific findings of the correlation between mental well-being, consciousness, and performing improv comedy.

    This interview was particularly delightful because we've discussed Dr. Drinko's work on this podcast a few times in season 1, so connecting with him personally and dropping in deeper was a gift.

    Thank you so much Clay for having this conversation with me and sharing your wisdom!
