I felt better after recording this conversation with my two talented guests and I hope you feel better listening. Today’s guests are director Kristin Hanggi and writer and actress Maddie Corman. Not only has their work has be meaningful to me, but I just really like them both so much as people.

I’m very grateful to this podcast for giving me an opportunity to get to meet them and speak to them. We cover the current project Kristin and Maddie collaborated for the majority of this episode, which is a beautiful one person show called Accidentally Brave. The show is about an extremely hard thing Maddie went through and is going through, and how her and Kristin worked together while she was still IN IT to make a piece of art. Accidentally Brave is so genuine, vulnerable, and captures the emotion of pain with joy and humor. I saw the show it’s first week with my mom and we both laughed and cried very hard. The show is running until the end of June so if you’re in NYC go see it. Maybe plan a trip! In this episode we cover going through hard things, going where it’s warm, the best relationship advice ever on the podcast, making art from tough times, and more!
