    Today's episode is one of my favorites. Bethany is a powerhouse actor who has been seen in shows like Ozark, Stranger Things, Doom Patrol, Reprisal, and Turn... just to name a few. We talk about the time she got fired from a commercial after requesting breaks to pump breast milk, what it was like working with Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, the time she publicly stood up for ATL actors (and Deadline wrote about it), and so much more. Bethany is the kindest soul and I'm beyond grateful she made time to chat with me. I know you'll love her as much as I do!Follow Bethany on IG: @bethanyannelindOne Job Away newsletter: https://bethanyannelind.substack.com/Follow the pod: @thestayathomeactorpod
