    This show has gotten me through a difficult period in my career, and for that I am grateful. It brought me back to seeing the small joy moments in the every day. Listening to Nora is like a phone call with my best friend. I start every morning commute with the newest episode, and I have abandonment issues so please stick around!

I have been lucky enough to work in the industry for many years but, like almost everyone else I know in the biz, the gigs are few and far between. Do I pivot? Do I sti... more
