Waffle Bordelon is a spectacular photographer in the New Orleans area and not only is he a super awesome person, he has tons of insight about many things creatives need to know.

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
One of my favorites, Alyssa Wininger, tells me about the RCS drama school, the audition process to get into the elite program, and life of a working actor during this time as well as all the time. We talk about self worth and childhood and other fun things!
Gaga Vibes
One of my gorgeously creative roomies Erica Mioton and I talk paranormal activity, how to get rid of leg water weight, her many creative pursuits, how she maintains her mental health and so much more. My roomie is an introvert so there was a lot I didn't know about her prior to our fun convo! If you like true crime, science and ninja cats (who doesn't?!) you would get along with her very well. She's got so many little gems to share with the world, enjoy!
Book Review: Tales From Shakespeare
Here's my take on Tales from Shakespeare by Tina Packer
Big Hats Resurrection
In this Episode my former/current co-host of pod "Big Hats" - Eric Arnouville - pretty much ruins my life for an hour. We talk about Steve Miller band (again), I tell a very good ghost story and we talk about whether or not things are predetermined and Eric's experience as a music genius. FYI we attempted to record another ep of "Big Hats" Pod (that Eric is in charge of editing) but it may never see the light of day because of "technical reasons" in which you can and should harass Eric about through all of the platforms he is on:

Mindset with Rosha Washington
My buddy Rosha is not only an awesome actor, but an amazing soul who can teach us all a little bit more about how to overcome anxiety and gain confidence as an actor and person. We talk about his journey to where he is today and what it's really like being right here right now. I ask him about how he stays so focused and positive and how he always seems to speak things into existence.

No Rules with Jeff Pearson
In this episode I talk to and suck helium with Jeff Pearson. Jeff is a night owl, video game store owner, working actor, and fearless leader in all of his creative pursuits. He also happens to be my super hot boyfriend. We talk about accepting the fact that rules are dumb a lot of the time, the lifestyle of someone who is often thinking outside of the box, getting feedback, and I psychoanalyze him a lot.

Podcasting Podcast with Eva
My journalist sister Eva has lots of answers as to how podcasting works and what being a host means. Hopefully this episode helps any creatives who are tossing around the idea of making a podcast. We talk about who we are, what making a podcast entails, and I ask a lot of questions about what I am supposed to be doing as a host. Eva was my first guest on "Help! I'm Creative."
