Ep. 53: Kitty Lindsay - Actor, Writer, Director, Podcaster
Today’s Her Process episode is a fun one for me because I’m talking with a fellow podcaster! Her name is Kitty Lindsay and, in addition to acting, writing, directing, doing sketch, and improv, she also hosts one of my favorite pods, Feminist Crush! Kitty is about to drop season four of her show, and I just had get more info, because this season is a special one. Kitty, who is LA based, takes Feminist Crush on the road. All episodes were recorded in, and feature guests from, her hometown of Charleston, West Virginia. Yep, this feminist is venturing out in “Trump Country”, where she is pleasantly surprised by what she finds! She shares a little bit about that with us here on Her Process today, and we talk about art and feminism…what it means to be a feminist, and how this plays a role in what Kitty creates. We also talk about the struggle of the multi-hyphenate artist. Is it really a struggle? Kick back, and let’s find out! Here is my chat with the multi-hyphenate, multi-talented, Kitty Lindsay!

Think of episode 52.5 with Sarah Momo Romero as a P.S. to episode 52. It’s a rapid fire q&a where I ask my guests the same twelve questions to hear the similarities and differences among artists of the same and different genres. Some sample questions: Do you check out other artists within your genre on social media? What’s your creative ritual? Do you have a ‘go-to’ person who you bounce ideas off of. Let’s hear what this author/illustrator has to say! See pics of Sarah and her art, and fun facts at: Connect with host, Jo Bozarth at: Check out Sarah's site:

Ep. 51: Collaboration Series ft. Camilla Ochlan
Today’s show wraps up my series on collaboration. It’s a tribute to art and to friendship. It’s about what happens when you’re on a roll, when you’re making strides, realizing your dream…and the unthinkable happens. What do you do? How do you go on? Do you go on? If you’re just joining Her Process for the first time, today’s guest, Camilla Ochlan, has been on the show before with her Werewolf Whisperer series writing partner, Bonita Gutierrez. But Camilla, being the creative soul that she is, and I’m guessing also a master at organization, has another writing partner with whom she’s been creating the world that houses another series, called Of Cats and Dragons. In fact, she and her dear friend, Carol Leever, her Of Cats and Dragons illustrator and co-writer, have been creating this world for over three decades now. But they didn't realize it right away. When Camilla and Carol did finally decide to share their creation with the world, life, as it does, stepped in with a twist that neither friend could ever have imagined or prepared for. You always hear people say that they meant to do x, y, z, but "life got in the way." Well, these ladies didn't let "life" thwart their plans. They've bobbed and weaved, and have persevered. This is their story. Keep up with the pod: Visit the world Of Cats and Dragons:

I'm excited to be chatting with writer/director, Tina Cesa Ward and actor, Rachael Hip-Flores. These ladies first worked together in 2008 when Tina cast Rachael in her ground breaking web series, Anyone But Me. The show went on to win Indie Soap awards, a Clicker award for best drama, a Writers Guild Award for best Original New Media, and more. Rachael won a Streamy for her portrayal of series lead, Vivian. Clearly this was a pairing that worked! And it turned out to be the beginning of a long working relationship, and friendship. Today the ladies talk about casting, from the perspective of both the actor and the director. They talk about what it takes to make a successful working relationship on set, and they share how they keep it fresh after years of working together. If you want to get some great insight, and have some laughs along the way, take a listen!

Ep. 49: Collaboration Series ft. Cynthia Graner and Jo Bozarth
In this, the third installment of my special series on collaboration, I’m talking with someone with whom I’ve recently collaborated, my dear friend and producer extraordinaire, Cynthia Graner. Cynthia is an AFI alum who has produced commercials, branded content, feature films, short films, episodics…she’s basically done it all. Today, in addition to hearing how the work flow and other aspects of the working relationship between a producer and writer/director work, Cynthia talks about the various roles of different types of producers. Oh! And my role was that of the writer/director. A little background…Cynthia and I have worked together on projects before, but the particular project that we’re focusing on today was new territory for us because prior to this shoot, my role had been that of the actor. This time Cynthia produced a short film that I wrote and directed. So today we’re talking about that process, from writing the script to pre production to shooting the film…all of it. This episode was a fun one for me. I swear that during every step this project, if my brain was the puzzle, her brain was the missing piece. If you’re thinking about mounting a production, you’ll want to give this chat a close listen. Keep up with the pod: Connect with host, Jo Bozarth: Cynthia online:

Robin is a freelance blogger and the author of middle grade novels, The Missing Crimoire and The Naming of Colton Black. And Shelley is an illustrator who has had several solo shows, she’s illustrated comic books, and is now focusing on children’s book illustration…and that’s where our story begins. How do two artists of different genres come together to create something that stays true to both of their visions? Today, Shelley and Robin talk about the ins and outs of the relationship between an author and the artist who is illustrating her book covers. And there are fun tidbits about the how to’s of their respective careers woven in to our talk about collaboration.

You’ve seen the hash tags #communityovercompetition and #collaborationovercompetition. Well, my guests today are giving those hash tags more than lip service…or tweet service? Today I’m chatting with authors Camilla Ochlan and Bonita Gutierrez. If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you’ll recognize their names from episode 21. And if you’re a fan of urban fantasy, you probably know them from their series, The Werewolf Whisperer. In episode 21 the ladies talked about writing in a past and present timeline, character, publishing, and so much more. Today, they’re sharing what writing a series looks like when you’re part of a team. How do you get it all to flow when there are two creatives? What do they recommend looking for in a writing partner? How do they handle being business partners as well as writing partners? And if you are an artist, you know that these days, many creative industries have evolved so much so that artists basically have to be entrepreneurs, as well. There’s a lot of good stuff here, so let’s get to it. I’m so happy to welcome back to the show Camilla Ochlan and Bonita Gutierrez!

Ep. 46.5 - Micro Pod ft. Recording Artist Drea
Last week I promised a deep dive into the process of creating music. To be more specific, recording music. Recording artist and songwriter, Drea, is back with me to do just that. In the next fifteen minutes, you’ll hear about the recording of her last album, No Vacancy and how the process of recording her new music, including her latest release Hometown, is different. Part of it is that she’s in a different headspace, part of it is that she’s in more control of how she’s recording, and today she’s sharing that process with us. She talks about what happened in college, and beyond, that shattered her confidence as a singer and as a performer, and how she’s getting that confidence back. And she explains how accepting her deep love for music, and eventually committing to her music and dropping the extraneous stuff, and yes…that included a job, is affecting her career in the most positive ways. It’s all about taking that leap! Connect with host, Jo Bozarth, and keep up with the pod at: Find all things Drea at:

Back in episode 22, today’s guest, recording artist and songwriter, Drea, opened up to me about her experience as a victim of sexual assault. Today I’m checking back in with Drea in what is probably one of the most empowering episodes I will ever record. In this episode, Drea talks about reclaiming ownership of her body, and who she is, through movement. And, she tells us how you can get in on this, too. We talk about the affect the assault has had on her art, and how music has helped her to fully process what happened. Which brings me to her latest single, Hometown, and the music she’s writing and recording currently. There’s definitely been a shift in her creative process, and we touch on it in this episode, and take a deep dive into in the next episode. And, stick around because Drea treats us to an absolutely beautiful performance of Hometown at the end of the show. Alright, let’s get to it. Here is my chat with the lovely and soulful, Drea.

To introduce today’s artist, I’m going to take a description directly from her web site because it is just so perfect! Ela Mella is pun-loving painter and creator based in Los Angeles on a mission to spread love through art and unity through laughter. In this episode Ela opens up and shares where that positivity came from and how living through the lowest low can really change a girl’s perspective. We also talk about how LA, the city and the lifestyle, creeped into her east coast brain to create the art she’s known for today. And now, only a year after beginning this particular subject matter we’ll be discussing, she’s achieved her goal of having a collection, a style that’s all her own, which is so identifiable. She gives us the inside scoop on exactly how she creates her pieces, which are a fine art and digital hybrid. And listen up if you’re an illustrator who makes prints…Ela’s prints are absolutely gorgeous and so high quality and the color is so consistent, and she tells us how and where her prints are made! Ela sells her prints through her web store, and at pop ups…and explains how she got into these practices…and why spaces like Society 6 and Etsy weren’t really for her. Plus there are tips on pricing your work, and pitfalls to avoid when you’re starting out. There is just so much valuable information and good conversation crammed into this one episode…we better get to it! Connect with host, Jo Bozarth, and keep up with the pod at: Find Ela Mella at:

Sandra Valde is a cinematographer whose work takes her on the road for up to three months at a time, and Shelley Couvillion is an illustrator who primarily works from home. In this episode, we discuss everything from full time daycare at 3 months old to the possibility of home schooling. From a work environment and artistic community that is extra supportive of motherhood to keeping pregnancy under wraps at work until month five. For all the differences in their experiences in early motherhood, there are also some very universal similarities. And, these ladies are both making it work. Want to know how? Take a listen!

Welcome to the third installment of my special Her Process series on artists who are juggling the pursuit of art and parenthood! Today I’m talking with Lois Keller and Margaret Haas, two visual artists in two very different stages of motherhood. Lois is a fine artist with a background as a scenic artist. Her daughters are aged 10 and 14. Margaret is a calligrapher, does hand lettering, and owns a stationery store called Paper Pastries. (If you're in LA, you have to swing by!) Margaret's daughter is 20 months old. As you can see, today's conversation is coming from two very different vantage points. Three, if you count mine! As a mom-to-be, this chat really made me think. These ladies got real and talked about the part of motherhood and career that aren’t often talked about…the part where things don’t necessarily go the way you thought they might have, the part where you make adjustments, both in the way you approach your work and in your way of thinking. We decided that the theme for our talk is "surrender". Take a listen, and you'll hear why. Connect with host, Jo Bozarth on: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Find Lois Keller at: Find Margaret Haas at:

We talk social media, and the reasons why she doesn’t place too much emphasis on it. Maya takes us through her lyric and song writing process. We talk about booking gigs, and how she goes about it.

Ep. 37: Amy Crosby - Singer, Front Woman
Today I have the pleasure of chatting with Amy Crosby, of the band Shitting Glitter. Yes, you heard me right, Shitting Glitter. Her band was part of the LA music scene for years, and now she is firmly rooted in Long Beach (just south of LA), which she says is a very supportive community for artists of all genres. As an artist who has been at it for years, Amy gives us insight into the incarnations of a musician and her band. How band mates have come and gone (not from her life, but from the band), and how she’s come to the conclusion that it’s best to play with professional musicians that she brings into her band, rather than people who she relates to every day. As of late, Shitting Glitter was on a little break, and in that time Amy’s been painting. She’s gone from someone who had never painted to someone who’s painted over 200 paintings in two years, and who’s work is showing in a gallery! And now, Amy’s back in the music scene, and her latest project, the Nasty Woman Concert Series, is happening this Saturday, July 8th! Amy opens up about the reason and the feelings behind the Nasty Woman Concert, and she talks about the importance, especially in the current political climate, of taking action. Like I said, the concert is happening this Saturday, July 8th in Long Beach, California. Wait until you hear the lineup…it sounds like it’s going to be an amazing show!

And her comics! Yumi writes and draws feelings…feelings that we’ve all experienced. Her stories spring up around these deep truths, and I think that’s why, at least for me, once I started reading her work, I craved more. It’s like Yumi just gets me. :) She puts the human experience on paper. And in talking with her here on the show, and getting a glimpse into how she creates, I understand why her words and drawings evoke that sense of familiarity wrapped up in something that is just so magical.

Ep. 35: Shelley Segal - Singer, Songwriter
As artists, we can all agree that whatever we’re passionate about in life influences our work. It’s what our art is based on, really. Today's guest's story illustrates this point beautifully. I'm delighted to be chatting with singer, songwriter, Shelley Segal. Now, a lot of us are taught not to talk about religion or politics in polite company. Well, one of those topics comes up in today’s episode. And I’m going to say a word now, that I’ll admit, as someone who was raised in the Christian faith, has always made me a little uncomfortable. The word is Atheism. My guest today, has been called the “pin-up girl for the Atheist movement”. And I have to tell you, that her genuine caring for all people, just the love for humanity you can feel when you’re talking with her...well, I don't know what I expected exactly, or was taught to believe about Atheists. I will tell you that what I see in Shelley is the kind of person I hope I am. Raised in a Jewish family, Shelley opens up about questioning certain beliefs, the journey to finding answers that resonated with her as a human being, and how these answers lead her to secularism. She shares how her search, and ultimately the community that she found, helped shape her music…well, a good chunk of it anyway. There’s so much more to her story, and so much more to her art. During our chat, we also discuss how her career took shape, and the different genres which have influenced her many sounds. And, she explains Patreon to me, and why she and her fans love the Patreon experience she is able to create for them. In opening up about her journey, Shelley illustrates a bit of her story through song. And oh, what songs she chose. You’ll just have to hear for yourself.
