We often say that the conversations we have with our guests should feel just like we are girlfriends chatting in the dressing room. That has never been more true than our season finale with Broadway and West End star Rachel Tucker. Rachel joined us to talk ‘Defying Gravity’ with a toddler at home, what it’s truly like to juggle a career in two different countries, the balance she and her director husband have found as artist parents, and how this time of upheaval has, ultimately, had a silver lining. This episode is a true, light hearted glimpse into what our lives and convos are like backstage, and the openness and honesty that almost immediately connects those of us who call ourselves actors.

Haven Burton joins us again to share her experience as a mother of special needs children, particularly what it has been like during quarantine. We discuss the specific struggles of remote learning and tele therapy, what’s it’s like to be not only a teacher, but a physical, occupational, speech and social skills therapist. The good news is, despite the trials of this time, our children are growing and thriving. Through it all, we are learning more about our special kids and even more about ourselves.
