From a football coach’s daughter in Texas to a professional dancer in New York, Emily Paige has never exactly followed the script. From her years performing around the world, the pivot to casting and creative direction, and why asking for what you want is the real career hack, Emily is continuing her advocacy for artists.

For the forever curious, and the ones chasing wild ideas.

Welcome to Outside the Bell Curve, a show for people who just can’t seem to color inside the lines. I’m Heather, and each week I chat with friends, creatives, and fascinating humans I meet on the road — folks with cool jobs, wild stories, and a habit of choosing the unexpected.

We talk about the shaky moments, bold pivots, questionable career moves, one-way tickets, and all the peaks and valleys in between. Because really — does anyone know what they’re doing?

From a small town in Texas to a residency at the Kennedy Center, or a drive from the UK to Mongolia, I’m full of questions for the people who’ve lived it.

If you’ve ever felt boxed in or thought about switching things up, you’re in good company. Let’s explore what it means to live outside the bell curve.
