Tony and Grammy Award winner, Heather Headley was doing it all before COVID-19, filming the new Netflix series (streaming May 19th), 'Sweet Magnolias', the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic 'Respect', traveling worldwide for concerts, and being a mother to three children.

Show notes

Actress, writer, and co-host of the award winning podcast “What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood” Amy Wilson joins us to share her experience self-isolating with older children, trying to keep them fed, and protecting them from the fear of this pandemic. We also revisit the “pause” that becoming a mother forces us to take and how much it has in common with this global experience we are having, forcing us to take a moment away from work, grappling with the unknown, knowing that when we do return, it won’t be the same, that we will be forever changed...just like becoming a mother.

Actor turned baby guru, Jamie Grayson, joins us as the first male guest on our show! Formerly known as The BabyGuyNYC, he shares with us how a dreaded stall of a subway ride led to a job interview that forever changed his life’s journey. His spunky, sensitive spirit and southern charm made him the go-to for all things “baby” in New York City and now he shares his expertise online and at trade shows all over the country. We asked him to share his top products to help parents while sheltering in place with their children, and he did not disappoint. Jamie brought the wine, the humor, the stories, and of course the promo codes…you might say it’s our version of the Oprah giveaway….tune in for the fun!

#23 - Nikki Renee Daniels and Jenn Gambatese, Another Op'nin... Postponed Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

With 17 Broadway shows between them, leading ladies, Jenn Gambatese and Nikki Renee Daniels were about to add two more to the list, Mrs. Doubtfire and Company. COVID-19 has put an extended pause on the opening of their shows, and much like the postponed Olympic Games, the incredible hard work and passion that goes into mounting a Broadway show has come to screeching halt. As a result they are both experiencing severe #momlash adjusting back to full time parenting after being more than a full-time performer between rehearsals and previews. These veterans of the Great White Way, have also both spent extended time away from their families for work, and they share all the things that come with it, the mom guilt, the travel back and forth, missing holidays with family… and dare we say it, the freedom that comes with being away (did someone say they could take a nap?!)

#22 - Robyn Hurder, The Having it All Hustle Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

Before the extended “intermission” that Broadway is experiencing, Robyn Hurder was lighting up the stage every night as Nini in Moulin Rouge. Now she is with her rambunctious, creative, and loving kindergartner all day every day.. and well, she has a lot to say about it. We talk everything from surviving remote learning, coming back to the biz after having a baby, and the moment of rebirth when she felt the passion and drive to forge her way through the balance of loving two things, her family and her career.

Recognizing her responsibility as a woman in a position of power, she created Women of Broadway in solidarity and support of all female identifying members of our community. She understands firsthand the struggles of being a mother in show business as the first women at DTG to have a baby, and as a result, implements better business practices for maternity leave in all of her productions. Wrapping up our tribute to International Women’s Month, Anne puts experience into action and her perspective and endeavors are invaluable. She also knows in her gut that Broadway will be back and that’s the just ray of hope we all need right now.

#17 - Tara Rubin, Blazing Her Own Way Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

Tara Rubin began her casting journey as a 30 year old assistant at Johnson/Liff, a supportive, good humored office, but one where no one was married, let alone, had a child. Fifteen years later, with two young girls at home and wanting to push herself to accomplish more, she opened her own casting office. Tara speaks candidly with us about the double standards for mothers in the business, the advantages and pitfalls of technology in our industry, and how even she has had to shift her mindset as our society and culture has become more accepting of personal lives in the workplace.
