Join Karaleigh in an interview with the vibrant Alison Fraser. In this episode we talk about shining too brightly, showing up comfortably as you are, finding balance in motherhood, and of course we get some fun, real mom talk. Alison is a journalist, a communications professional and podcaster who helps other podcasters make their show what they want it to be. She is also a parkrunner and quizzer living in New Zealand as well as a mum of one. Favorite takeaways: 1. We've got to own who we are and love ourselves for it and stop caring so much what other people think. 2. We're not static! We get to grow! It's such a gift that we get to continue to improve and shift and transform and become a new, better, version of ourselves constantly. 3. We get to look back on our year and look at how far we've come and then we get to look ahead and ask, how much further do I get to go? It's easy to look at our goals and say, I'm not where I want to be. But instead we could look at them with excitement. There's a whole new version of me just waiting to blossom. 4. I see it as a privilege to change and to grow. 5. You can live your dreams. You can do incredible things with your life! Anything is possible and it doesn't matter how tough your circumstances are, anything is possible. 6. We can do hard things. We can persevere, we can figure it out. We can keep going even when challenges come our way because we are strong and we are powerful. 7. You are valuable because you are unique.

The sudden sweep of the COVID-19 pandemic has left tourism in shambles across the globe, and no hotel was spared from this devastation. After two years and a slow recovery, we see many hotels returning to life including one of Penang's oldest hotels, the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, with its 137-year history.  In this episode, we speak to E&O's General Manager, Alison Fraser, who also happens to be the hotel's first-ever female general manager throughout its history.

Back in 2016, North Carolina Theatre was getting ready to present a production of Margaret Edson's Pulitzer Prize-Winning play, WIT. Prior to that, I was able to get in touch with one of its stars, Daisy Eagan. With 3 Broadway credits to her name, Daisy made her main stem debut as a child in the original production of LES MISÉRABLES as a former Young Cosette and Young Éponine. Her last appearance was in JAMES JOYCE'S THE DEAD from way back in 2000. Though she is perhaps best known for originating the role of Mary Lennox in Lucy Simon & Marsha Norman's 1991 stage musical adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 novel, THE SECRET GARDEN. Daisy not only got to be in a cast that also included Mandy Patinkin, Rebecca Luker, Robert Westenberg, Alison Fraser, and John Cameron Mitchell, but at just 11 years old, she became the youngest female to have ever won a Tony Award. *I do not own any of the content used in this podcast.

In Rio, Glauco danced with the Rio Dance Company (modern dance), as well as with the integrated dance company ANDEF (disability dance).

At Momenta, a dance piece entitled Meloudious Marco was created for Glauco in which he was featured in the lead role of Marco. Glauco was drawn to NYC in early 2017 and was given a scholarship in at Alvin Ailey from 2017 to 2018. In 2018, he was the featured dancer in Aria, a duet choreographed for him by Pedro Ruiz, with live accompaniment by the Camerata NY Orchestra.

His New York debut was as the romantic lead, Peter Latham, in Pierre Barillet's Forty Carats. His comic turn was followed by his hilarious performance as the effete Bob Lamb in Tina Howe's Museum.

Reviewed in the Times Square Chronicles, “Betsy (Alison Fraser) longs for something more, alongside interactions of the less virtuous kind with the handsome and sweet-talking Flavio, played seductively by the appealing Glauco Araujo (Spielvogel's Come Back Once More).” Recently, Glauco performed in a short bio-pic entitled Dance for Freedom directed by Severine Reisp, highlighting the challenges people of color face today, and which has garnered recognition as the First-Place Recipient of the Dr. David Milch Foundation/CCNY Award in short film competition. In her review, juror Timberkly Whitfield, program executive and producer for A&E, as well as a host on the History Channel and A&E, wrote: “Glauco Araujo is a beautiful dancer and you capture him in such a way that really moved me. I felt inspired by his story that even in the face of racism he doesn't see himself as a victim. Strong production values.

Narrator Alison Fraser’s ability to deliver character voices and accents is on display in this biography of mid-twentieth-century painter Helen Frankenthaler. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff talk about this audiobook by Alexander Nemerov, which is at once an appreciation of a major figure and a close look at the avant-garde scene of 1950s New York City. Fraser narrates with skill, capturing the times with excellent imitations, most notably Frankenthaler’s airy upper-class sounding speech. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website.
