Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What does it really mean to honor your body's wisdom in a high-pressure career?Broadway star Aisha Jackson (The Great Gatsby, Frozen, Waitress) takes us behind the curtain to reveal the delicate balance between artistic excellence and personal wellbeing. Fresh from celebrating the one-year anniversary of her vocal surgery, Aisha shares her practice of “constant check-ins” — a mindful way of gauging her physical, mental, and vocal capacity each day. She also introduces the concept of “vocal cash” — the limited energy reserves performers must budget through demanding eight-show weeks.Our conversation explores how reframing limits as choices creates a powerful shift — one that preserves her voice, expands her artistry, and sustains her joy. Aisha speaks candidly about representation, mentorship, and her commitment to creating space for others to shine. From navigating grief to celebrating triumphs, she reveals how staying grounded in her deeper purpose allows her to transcend the pressures of performance.Whether you're a performer, creative professional, or navigating your own high-demand path, Aisha's wisdom offers a blueprint for sustainable excellence — and a reminder that when we honor our capacity, reconnect to our why, and share our gifts with joy, we show up more authentically in every moment.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

Gerianne Pérez joins us for a candid and hilarious conversation about her winding path from choir kid to Broadway scene-stealer. She shares how an early love of a cappella shaped her artistry, why walking away from a “safe” office job was the best decision she ever made, and what it's like to audition for Six in front of a room full of other queens going for the same role. We get into her current adventure in Operation Mincemeat, where she covers multiple roles and leans into the joy—and chaos—of live theater, from botched hat tosses to full-on breaking on stage. Gerianne also opens up about navigating performance anxiety, the nuanced realities of being a Latina performer in a typecasting-heavy industry, and the thrill of telling a story that honors forgotten heroes of history. Whether she's singing backup for a fellow principal, leading the charge as Monty, or making the audience laugh through an unexpected mishap, Gerianne embodies resilience, humor, and heart at every turn. Gerianne Pérez is an NYU Tisch-trained actor and singer whose career spans Broadway, national tours, and acclaimed off-Broadway productions. She made her Broadway debut in In Transit before joining Waitress and the national tour of Six: The Musical. She has also appeared in In the Heights, Grease, and Oratorio for Living Things, and is currently bringing her comedic chops to Operation Mincemeat on Broadway.

Knitting in Passing A nice gentleman said my crochet was beautiful and that he crochets. I showed him my tank top which was nearly done at the time. We went to a grad party for my SIL and a friend of hers remembered me from Zach's birthday. She wants to crochet so we talked about resources etc. Reconnected with some of Dan's cousins recently. His cousin Melissa and I often talk books, so that was fun but she also said she'd like to learn to knit and/or crochet. Hoping to get together with her for lunch in Boston soon. Thank you to Suzanne- Sew Run It for the beautiful handknit hat and three knit hearts for my birthday. She started it shortly after my mom passed. Her notes say "The colors screamed Diane! The pattern is called Pair of Hearts and it too felt like a connection with her. I know you were and will remain close." Pattern= Pair of Hearts is by Chit Chat Knits and is available on Ravelry for $4.50. Lauren lbeth21 messaged me with Jess from Stitched by Jessalu at Central NY Fiber Fest Susie of The Huckleberry Girl offered to send me a bag. I was thinking of summer and Splash Pad when looking at her shop and she had a bag with Blueberries and Butterflies which made me think of Mom. So special. Thank you, Susie.

On a Happy Note The Splash Pad Kick Off Virtual sessions were so much fun! The Waitress at the North Shore Music Theater (closes 6/15) Cellar clean out, using new shelves and bins to organize. We also gathered a lot of items to donate. Playing Five Crowns, totally exhausted, crushing the guys (had a score of 3 then 7 for most of the game) and then going home to sleep. Quality time at the nail salon with Riley Knitting by the pool as Riley, Garret & Millie took their first dip. Will's high school graduation party. Flowers for my birthday Red Sox game with my Dad. A stressful work project really ramped up on my birthday. My friend got yummy pastries for us to share in the office. Celebrating my birthday with Dan, Dad, Riley Garret and Millie. Really funny birthday videos from Gabriella & Zachary. Audible sale. I got a ton of great books and I'm really excited about reading again. Daisies are finally starting to come in. They grow wild in our yard but they're late this year.

Jessica Vosk is a Broadway powerhouse, beloved for her unforgettable roles as Elphaba in Wicked, Jenna in Waitress, and now starring in the critically acclaimed Hell’s Kitchen.

In this episode, Jessica shares the remarkable story of how she went from crunching numbers in finance to chasing her long-held dream of performing on Broadway. Her pivot wasn’t instant — it took years of persistence, odd jobs, missed opportunities, and unshakable belief. And for the first time publicly, Jessica opens up about one of the most difficult chapters in her life: her struggle with alcohol and the life-changing decision to go to rehab.

Stacey is feeling hungover—but not from booze. From emotions. After closing one of the most magical chapters of her life, she says goodbye to “Waitress” and the cast that became her best friends (and yes, she cried). Oh, and big news: Kayla's husband Chris is officially a police officer as of today—but Kayla isn't convinced he's ready for the streets just yet. We dive into important topics like… opossums, inventor of colours, and whether or not robots are coming to destroy us all. It's a rollercoaster, per usual. Learn more about your ad choices.
