THE ONE THAT GLITTERS with Michelle Lang (Current series: BTS called GLITTER MOUTH)

Episode Synopsis: [Audio Diary recorded 3.8.25 & 3.9.25]

In this deeply vulnerable episode of Glitter Mouth, unbeknownst to me, it’s the evening before my post, "A Love Letter to Myself" goes viral. (Now sitting at over 15.7M views)

In this episode, I'm having an unfiltered conversation with myself about the anxiety and self-sabotage that comes with putting yourself out there creatively, while processing the painful realization that I am, probably, just scared of who I actually am and that no one will like me.

Perfect for anyone struggling with creative vulnerability, imposter syndrome, and learning to advocate for themselves in their career.

In this episode, I talk about:

• ​My struggle with wanting to be known for my work, not my personality, because I'm afraid people won't like who I really am.
• ​The pit of anxiety in my stomach after posting content that's actually doing well—and my urge to hide and sabotage my success
• ​Meeting Whitney Uland and learning about "feeling safe being seen" as the key to authentic content creation
• ​Why I can speak confidently at panels and events but freeze up when talking to my camera alone in my room
• ​The revelation that authentic content isn't about being perfect—it's about being seen the 
• ​Why I need to stop waiting for others to remember my passions and start championing myselfHelpful Influencers I reference in this episode: Whitney Uland | How to be famous (Podcast and social media)Ruff | Nick Ruffalow (Instagram) Musicians I reference: Jonathan Charles (thisisjonathancharles on Instagram) Travis Howard (TravisHoward on Instagram)

In this special Instagram Live episode, I'm sharing my expertise as a film producer and giving away all my secrets to help you get your project made, while facing my biggest fear—going live on Instagram.

Perfect for aspiring filmmakers, independent creators, and anyone who wants to take their creative career into their own hands.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The five key things I look for when evaluating any film script: location, number of actors, stunts, animals/children, and driving scenes

• Why locations can make or break your budget—and how shooting in one accessible location can save you thousands

• The hidden costs of actors beyond day rates: fringes, health and pension, workman's comp, and travel expenses

• Why stunts dramatically increase your budget through insurance, stunt coordinators who can't be "dropped and picked up," and costume doubles

• The complexities of working with animals and children: humane association reps, studio teachers, wranglers, and strict hour limitations

• Why "two people talking in a car" is NOT an easy or cheap scene—the reality of process trailers and police escorts

• My three essential books for independent producers: budgeting guides, copyright clearance, and film production handbooks

• Actionable steps to get your project made: assess your resources, determine available funding, leverage any existing following

• A series of Q and A’s including: My experience playing Linda Lee in the 50 Episode TV series,  "The Legend of Bruce Lee,” my take on AI, and the challenges shopping an independent TV series.

In this first episode of Glitter Mouth, I'm sharing the deeply personal story of how a viral stair fall video changed my life and brought me back to believing in myself after 12 years of putting my dreams on hold.

This is for every artist who wants to reach a large audience with their work. Come struggle, celebrate, and create alongside me as I prove that the most powerful art comes from the most honest places.

Audio Diary from 6.13.25

In this episode, I talk about:

• My journey from being a confident stunt actress starring as Linda Lee in a 50 Episode TV series on Netflix to feeling completely lost, career wise, for 12 years

• The dark night after my swanky 42nd birthday dinner (with stars from our TV series, Everyone is Doing Great) when I had my lowest moment and considered whether the world would be better without me

• Developing a rash that lasted months and covered 80% of my body during the Palisades fires, which led me to finally being myself on social media

• How that first viral post “A Love Letter to Myself” with over 15 million views made me believe in myself again for the first time in years

• The realization that entertainment has value—that connecting with people through short films on social media is meaningful work
