This episode's guest is actor, writer, voiceover artist, and unapologetic improv nerd, Roxana Ortega.Roxana is one of those rare artists whose vulnerability, honesty, and humor hit you all at once – and leave a lasting impression. If her voice sounds familiar, it might be because she's voiced everything from the passionate Frida Casagrande on The Casagrandes to characters in Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, and Monsters at Work. She's narrated Pulitzer Prize-winning novels, voiced countless animated characters, and is a master of voice matching (yes, she's dubbed for Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek).In our conversation, Roxana takes us through the unexpected path that led her to acting – from growing up in an academic household where creativity wasn't considered a “real” career, to having a life-changing epiphany while teaching English in Spain. We talk about the internal battle between playing it safe and going after what you truly want—and what it really means to decide to be an artist.We go deep into the power of improv as both a performance tool and a life philosophy, how failure can be a gift, and why community-building and representation matter now more than ever. Roxana shares how she uses her voice – literally and figuratively – to make space for underrepresented stories, and how she's continued to evolve as a writer, performer, and director.Whether you're someone who thrives on stage or someone working up the courage to take the leap, Roxana's journey will remind you that embracing risk, staying curious, and being fiercely yourself is always worth it.Episode Chapters 00:00 – Welcome + Introduction02:00 – Names, Language, and Laughter04:00 – Academic Roots & Artistic Restlessness07:55 – The Epiphany in Spain13:49 – “I Decided to Be an Actor”16:00 – Improv, Joy, and Redefining Failure21:45 – Performing, Directing, and Creating Her Own Work32:00 – Representation, Identity, and Making Space40:00 – The Tapestry of Humanity49:30 – Amazing Race Nerd Out50:50 – Blissful Spinster & Making Art on Your Own Terms54:35 – Final Words of Wisdom55:14 – What's Next for Roxana58:00 – Wrap-Up & Thank YouRoxana's Bio:Roxana Ortega is an American actor, writer, and voiceover artist who is known for voicing the ever-emotional Frida Casagrande on Nickelodeon's Emmy award-winning and Imagen award-winning cartoon The Casagrandes, a spinoff of the acclaimed series The Loud House.On-camera, she recently starred opposite Danny Trejo, Reno Wilson, and a cast of legends including Garrett Morris, Barry Bostwick, and James Hong in the Universal feature Grand-Daddy Day Care.

She graduated from U.C. Berkeley Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, then spent a year teaching English in Madrid, Spain.

Blending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women. Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to discover why her own full recovery from an eating disorder felt so impossible. Interviewing women across the country as well as the world's most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment––the fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones. Kazdin takes us to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community, exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and revealing disordered eating for the crisis that it is: a mental illness with the second highest mortality rate (after opioid-related deaths) that no one wants to talk about. Along the way, she identifies new treatments not yet available to the general public, grass roots movements to correct racial disparities in care, and strategies for navigating true health while still living in a dysfunctional world. What's Eating Us is an urgent battle cry coupled with stories and strategies about what works and how to finally heal—for real. Cole Kazdin is an Emmy Award-winning television journalist and author of What's Eating Us: Women, Food, and the Epidemic of Body Anxiety (St. Martin's Press 2023). Selected as a Next Big Idea Book Club Must-Read, the book blends personal narrative and investigative reporting to reveal disordered eating as an epidemic crisis killing millions of women. Cole has written for TIME, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Magazine, The Daily Beast, MEL Magazine, and more, and was a regular contributor to VICE. She has produced television for Good Morning America, Nightline and World News Tonight. Cole has told stories live on The Moth's Mainstage across the country, The Moth Radio Hour on NPR,, and has performed storytelling all over Southern California where she is a proud, three-time Moth GrandSLAM champion. Her solo performances have garnered national praise and been optioned for film. A contributing author to the bestselling book, The Moth Presents All These Wonders: True Stories About Facing the Unknown, she coaches and teaches writers all over the world, as well as leading workshops and classes for corporations and universities and currently teaches at the UCLA Extension Writers' Program.

Episode #95: Oversharing, overtalking, undertalking, undersharing, small talk, deep talks, mismatches in vulnerability, and the art of listening---these are the tricky friendship topics we are dealing with today. I'm joined by Micaela Blei, a GrandSLAM-winning storyteller and former founding Director of Education at The Moth.Topics we covered:There is no right or wrong in how much to talk or how much to share. The words "over" or "under" signal a potential mismatch in conversation styles. The connection between overtalking and over-explaining (the fear of being misunderstood).Ways to sense when someone is ready to move beyond small talk.How the dynamics of managing new friendship conversations is similar to flirtingSome lessons from storytelling include: an awareness of "airtime," listening attentively (no phone), not confusing your friends for your audience. It takes work to share with friends, and it takes work to listen.Flexibility between deep and casual conversations is a sign of true intimacy in a friendship.Learning not to take responsibility for the success of every conversation.

EPISODE 165 - Ariel Tsai - Author of Narcissus - Falling in love with yourself can be difficultAbout the AuthorAn avid reader and literary critic, Ariel Tsai always knew she needed to write a book. She obtained a bachelor's degree in English literature and criticism and Chinese language and literature, studying both in the United States and China. Her stylistic writing comes from a persistent itch to tell stories and understand the world around her. With sarcasm, wit, and keen observations (as an accomplished poet is wont to do), Tsai pours her ambition and heart into her writing. She harbors an undying love for symbolism, translation theory, and Honey Nut Cheerios, alongside a great deal of shame about her Anglophilic preferences in literature. John Milton and Philip Pullman are likely to blame.Falling in love with yourself can be difficult, with the exception being Narcissus, a figure in Greek mythology known to have fallen for his reflection. Contemptuous towards everyone but himself, the Greek youth realized he was his own true love. Whether he withered away in his longing or drowned in the pool of his reflection, Narcissus became the flower with delicate white and gold petals, staring at itself in the still waters. Like its namesake, Narcissus by Ariel Tsai reflects the human condition in all its most beautiful, mundane, and unpleasant forms.Narcissus captures human growth, for better or for worse, to reflect on what it means to love oneself— foolishly and wholeheartedly.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1927756/supporters/newA podcast is an excellent business card for your book, coaching program or business!

E159 - Devorah Kur - Not Why Me But What Now, Finding Meaning in Our ChallengesIt all started in 1996 when my father was diagnosed with colon cancer. At the time I was running my own corporate interior design company, and loving the creativity.After his diagnosis, I became obsessed with the role of patients in their health, healing and illnesses. A new world opened up for me as I began exploring healing and what wellness meant. Was healing only up to doctors, or did we, as patients, have a role to play?Many fascinating books and teachers came into my life, who inspired me further, like Dr Bernie Siegel, who explores the role of the patient as an active participant in his own healing.Encouraging patients to take ownership of their healing, he says, “We are the soil in which the disease roots itself.” Deb Shapiro, Deepak Chopra, Caroline Myss and many more inspired me as I became more passionate about our ability to heal and to be healed.Amazon link to my book, 'Man's Search for Healing': https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJQ6WNG5Website - www.dkwellness.co.ilEmail - devorah@dkwellness.co.ilFacebook page - https://www.facebook.com/dkwellbeing/YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5YDsijkbETm1T70Lc2B2AgLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/devorah-kur-b692a725/___https://livingthenextchapter.com/A podcast is an excellent business card for your book, coaching program or business!

EPISODE 166 - Bruce McIntyre - Selling Your Business and Battling Cancer, A Story that InspiresBruce calls St. Louis, Missouri, his hometown, but his father's work required frequent transfers, so Bruce, an only child, often moved with his parents in those early years. He completed his education at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, and quickly found his way to Cincinnati, Ohio, and Procter & Gamble. Like his father's work, P&G required relocation. While living in Indianapolis, Indiana, he met and married his wife, Joyce. More moves followed: Kansas City, Kansas; Palatine, Illinois (a Chicago suburb); and Winston Salem, North Carolina.Bruce then decided to leave his nomadic corporate life and start his own business. The couple chose Charlotte, North Carolina, as their new forever home and have been a part of the community since 1979. His business, McIntyreSales, was a foodservice sales and marketing agency that grew to represent manufacturers like Nestle, Smuckers, Otis Spunkmeyer, and more.He has now written his first book: There Are No Answers Here, Only Questions.

E156 - Keith Hayden - US Air Force veteran, teacher, author, podcaster and avid language learnerIn the world of business, “different” is sometimes prefable to “better.” My guest today, Keith Hayden, is a prime example of this. He is an author and is doing incredibly unique things online to promote his fiction book.Keith has come up with a fantastic way to break his 500-page novel down into bite-sized chunks for social media. He has created an audio drama version of Cereus & Limnic and is combining that with live streams where he goes deep on the book writing process. But how should he go about getting more eyeballs on his content?The inspiration for a lot of what Keith is doing is the sense of belonging he felt when he was in the military. He wants to recreate that for his audience, which is very smart. I had a blast talking to him, and this is an inspiring chat for all of us looking to build loyal, targeted audiences.

Have you ever gone to a Festival and ended up making out with your friend's husband while an audience applauds your oratory skills? Recovering heterosexual and stand-up comedian Michael Noel has a crush on his One Wheel pals John and Kathy, and they've decided that it's happening this weekend. So on the last night of the electric skateboard jamboree, Michael eats some magic mushrooms, climbs into their Sprinter Van, and surprises all of them by making the wrong person come. C'mon Michael, it's not that dark in here! #VanLife #Thruple #MiniVan #LosingMyChip Song: ‘Stacy's Brother' (Mad Tsai) About our Storyteller: Michael Noel is a Boston Massachusetts native who currently lives in San Francisco California. He works as a full time game show host for an online team building company and began storytelling about 7 years ago at Bawdy in Boston. He lived in London for a year on a mid-life gap year where he did stand-up comedy and storytelling. This story was his first time back onstage post-pandemic, and Michael flew off the next day to continue his storytelling tour in London, including competing in the Moth GrandSlam.
