Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson . Still Becoming
19Stories
One of the reasons I began this podcast is that I believe the stories we tell become the legacy we leave. And for far too long, too many stories have been muted; especially those of women. Today’s guest has made it her life’s work to change that. Before she ever stepped behind a microphone, Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson spent nearly twenty years in higher education leadership. With a doctorate in Organizational Psychology, she led institutional assessment, accreditation, research, and compliance efforts across multiple universities. She taught psychology, statistics, and leadership. She...

Teri Parker Brown . Minneapolis
19Stories
As the opening of my podcast informs you, I do not live in Minneapolis, but across the country in Sonoma County, CA. I’ve been thinking a lot about voices lately. Not the loud ones. Not the ones on cable news. The steady ones. The voice that explains something complicated and suddenly you can breathe again. The voice on stage that reminds you who you are. The voice that says, “You’re not alone.” For almost forty years, Teri Parker Brown has been that voice in Minneapolis. She’s stood on the stages of Chanhassen, The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, and History Theatre in Saint...

Nancy May . High Performance Governance
19Stories
In this podcast, I talk with artists, actors, musicians, writers, coaches, and creative pioneers as they share personal, powerful, and often humorous stories of facing adversity and the wisdom they gleaned in the process.

Jo Yuan . "Banana-Brained" . Meisner & Voice Trained
19Stories
It’s not often that I’ll get to introduce a guest whose moniker is “banana-brained and voice-trained”! But joining me today is a woman who is the embodiment of quirkiness, versatility, and her own words “a bit unhinged”. From clown noses to stage and to your favorite streaming platforms, Jo Yuan has covered a lot of ground...and that’s saying something given she’s been in the entertainment industry just shy of 6 years, and in voiceover for five of those years. She’s made audiences laugh, cry while pondering social biases through the roles and characters she’s...

But today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a voice that gets much less exposure—but is crucial to running a successful voiceover business as she’s the Unsung Hero of a Voiceover Virtuoso who’s all about the business of sound! Sandra Russell may not be a name that you’re familiar with, or have a voice you recognize—but her fingerprints are all...

5th Anniversary . Thank You to my Guest & Listeners
19Stories
Today marks a very special anniversary in that on June 28th 2020, a year we definitely all remember, I launched this podcast as a way of initially addressing and combating the fear so many creatives were feeling during the pandemic by talking about the tools and or faith they used to move into Hope. These days, I’m still talking with creatives in all mediums about challenges they’ve faced while celebrating their successes and offering some pearls of wisdom for listeners to implement into their own lives. Speaking of which, I’d like to give a huge thank you to the...

Alex Poppe . Chasing An Unconventional Life
19Stories
You may have heard me quote a former acting coach a time or two on this podcast, that “if you want to bring life into your characters, you have to first live a life in order to have something to pour onto the stage, screen or microphone.” I’d say the same holds true for any good author or storyteller. Today, I’m incredibly honored to have as my guest, Alex Poppe, the multi-award-winning author renowned for her compelling literary fiction that delves into themes of resilience, identity, and social justice. After graduating at the top of her university’s undergraduate...
