Vulnerable Podcast

*Content Warning* In this episode, Alyson Stoner and I discuss the realities of child labor and the exposure child actors experience. We do discuss different traumas we experienced. It may be triggering, and we encourage you all to take care of yourself. 

Today on Vulnerable, I sit down with the incomparable multi-disciplinary artist in my most vulnerable conversation to date: actress, singer, dancer Alyson Stoner.

Alyson and I share our experiences of growing up as child actors. As adults, we have been working hard to unpack it all and advocate for current and future child actors. This episode isn’t a salacious conversation, rather a sobering insight behind the curtain of fame. Alyson’s passion for advocacy has prompted her to work with a team of experts to create modules that educate and protect child actors. 

Beyond being a multi-disciplinary artist, published author, and global speaker, Alyson and I discuss how she Co-Founded Movement Genius, a digital platform using movement to improve mental and emotional health. Alyson and the Movement Genius team are incredibly generous and offer Vulnerable listeners 30 Day Free Trial of Movement Genius.

Today on Vulnerable, I geek out with my favorite aerospace engineer Emily Calandrelli AKA The Space Gal. Emily shares her journey to becoming an Emmy-nominated science TV host and author. 

Growing up in the coal mine country of West Virginia, Emily was looking for a sustainable future and decided to pursue engineering. Amid her education, she fell in love with aerospace engineering and the different avenues she was able to educate and raise awareness. Today, Emily is the Host and Co-Executive Production of Emily’s Wonder Lab on Netflix AND Host and Executive Producer of Fox’s Xploration Outer Space. Emily, through her writing and speaking events, wants to inspire more females to pursue STEM careers. 

Brendan and I got to ask Emily all of our space and education-related questions as Emily has been a source of inspiration to our own daughters. Emily shares how she has navigated being a female in a male-dominated industry and why this new era of space exploration and tourism is out of this world!

Emily is a shooting star of inspiration. This episode highlights how you can create your own unique career despite industry standards.

Today on Vulnerable, I invite the hilarious duo, Syd and Olivia, to share their journey to becoming TikTok comedy queens! Syd and Olivia have always wanted to perform, write, and create comedic stories. They met and began to collaborate when they were just tweens. Fast forward to today they currently have a show, The Generational Talk Show, on Ellen Tube and are hosts of Syd and Olivia Talk Sh*t podcast. They have skyrocketed TikTok success with their hilarious sketches and have new work in development.

What’s so awesome about Syd and Olivia is that they have a clear vision for their comedy, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily been easy. Syd, Olivia, and I reflect on what it's like to be a woman in comedy. They share their journey to get representation and how they’ve created a space online for their artistic endeavors when traditional spaces are slow to open up. Syd and Olivia are a DREAM TEAM and truly hilarious! Seriously you will be laughing out loud. This episode highlights how important it is to believe in yourself and create the art you want to see in the world.
