Episode 88: Marilyn Anderson, Writer

this episode brought to you by...

Marilyn is a Writer with many TV and Film credits and her most recent book, “How to Live Like a Millionaire When you’re a Million Short.” Her book answers one of the biggest questions of the Universe, “How does Marilyn live?” You can find it here. She has written on Murphy Brown, FAME, Friday the 13th and many others.

She started life as a scientist and then had one lucky break after another. She has a million stories and she cracks me up. Doesn’t everyone book a Broadway show their first week in New York?

Episode 85: Amy Spies, Writer

Amy wrote on 90210 and Melrose Place (the OG) among many other shows, but those are what made me fangirl. She comes from a Hollywood family - her parents were moved out to Los Angeles by Desilu Studios. (As you do.) And although she resisted joining the family business, she eventually did, going on to write “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”

I loved hearing her stories and her journey and I think you will too. She’s a writer, a teacher, a mentor and is deeply into mindfulness. She teaches a mindfulness writing program which helps people, especially women, find their voice. This is the time that we all need to find our voices.

This is a Master Class.

Episode 72: SheEO Vicki Saunders

Vicki Saunders is an entrepreneur who started an organization called SheEO.

SheEO is a leading global innovation in the female entrepreneur marketplace. Our radical new model to finance, support and celebrate female entrepreneurs has received global attention by capturing the hearts and minds of women around the world. [from the SheEO website]

You have to hear about how this works. If you are a woman looking for how you can concretely help women’s success and make a tangible difference, this is for you.   If you are an entrepreneur looking for a boost of capital and an incredible circle of radical support, this is for you.

I’m in, and I would love for you to be too.

Episode 66: Lee Jessup, Career Coach and Consultant for Screenwriters

Lee is a Career Coach and Consultant for Screenwriters. She is also an accomplished author with 2 books under her belt. She coaches writers through entering the Hollywood machine and climbing the ladder, and mentors established writers as they identify and then reach their next goal post.  She got into this field because her clients made her.  They demanded and she supplied. Talk about finding your true purpose.

She has such delicious perspective on this industry.  If you don’t fill your personal well of joy and life, you will have nothing to draw upon to create your art.  Being the tortured artist is actually optional, and really not necessary.

You can have it all, “even while female,” and you should not start eliminating things because you think you have to in order to make it.  In her words, that’s bullsh**.

You must have community, you must believe in yourself, and you must do the work.

And how unfair is it that her father, an accomplished Producer, refused to engage in nepotism?!
