Show notes

Continuing our “Journey to Motherhood” series, star of Moulin Rouge and Tony Award winner, Karen Olivo shares with us how marrying into motherhood has been the greatest gift: how seeing herself through her children’s eyes has forced her to be kinder to herself, how listening to her gut has always guided her life in and out of the business, and how embodying the sparkling diamond every night shows the next generation that diversity can not be the exception but the rule.

#52 - Mandy Gonzalez, Fearless Oct 12, 2021

Show notes

Star of Hamilton and breast cancer survivor, Mandy Gonzalez shares her journey through a diagnosis, the decision to go public with the news, and enduring chemotherapy during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown. Even when faced with the most difficult situation, she never lost sight of the light, pushing through with the help of her family, her “core four”, and the passion that drives her to continue to create even when bedridden from treatment. Mandy’s first book in her YA Series, Fearless comes out in April and our conversation with her leaves no doubt that she is not only the embodiment of the word, but a beacon of positivity to which we all should aspire.

#77 - Pearl Sun, Be Gentle Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

One of the very first guests on Mamas Talkin' Loud, Pearl Sun, rejoined Cara and Jess a month ago to talk about her unexpected return to Broadway. From resuming 8 shows a week after spending more time than she ever has with her son Max, to her anxiety about moving through the city as an Asian American, her emotions ran the gamut. However, she looked toward the reopening of Come From Away with more hope than hesitation, and most importantly compassion for herself and others.

#76 - Khori Petinaud, I Am Enough Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

About a month ago, Khori Petinaud joined us again as part of our 'Returning Reborn' series, sharing her ongoing journey of discovery as a new mom, and her overwhelming anticipation of returning to work in Moulin Rouge. When Broadway shuttered, she wasn’t even pregnant and when she walked back on stage at the Al Hirschfeld theater, she had a 9 month old. She prepped for the reopening with classes and working out, but most importantly with grace and compassion for herself, as she knows she is not the same person that took a bow in March 2020.

#75 - The Broadway Baby Mamas Primal Scream - Part 2 Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

Seven years ago co-hosts Cara Cooper & Jessica Rush started a support group for mothers in the New York theater community, Broadway Baby Mamas, and about a month ago they invited them to join in a group “scream”. Like The NY Times did earlier this year, the Mamas wanted to provide a space where the women could just let go of everything they'd been holding onto. This episode is a raw and emotional glimpse into what working artist mothers have been grappling with these past 18 months and how they are moving forward one step, one breath at a time.
