In this episode of The Embodiment Project, I dive into a deeply personal journey as I prepare to return to the stage in a production of Matilda—alongside my daughter! I’ll be stepping into the shoes of Miss Trunchbull, the notorious villain of the story, and sharing what it’s like to embody such a monstrous character. I explore how playing Trunchbull is not just an acting challenge, but a cathartic release of the darkness we all carry within us. I’ll also talk about the trauma at the heart of Matilda and the emotional depth this story holds.

You’ll hear a bit about my history in acting, the tools I’m using to prepare for this role, and, most importantly, how this experience has brought me and my daughter closer as we share the stage and do what we both love.

Whether you’re a fan of theater, a parent, or someone who has wrestled with their inner darkness, this episode has something for you. Tune in, and join me on this exciting and transformative journey!
