My sister from another mister @alicia_coppola Alicia and I also use to sit on those NYC casting couches together (related to last post) waiting for our audition. The one difference here is she hated my life- and she did not hide it. She would give my a stink eye that could kill you.
Years later when I saw on Instagram that she was doing stand-up I wrote to her with praise. I love women who show the fkuc up- afraid or not. She wrote me back and asked if I’d do her podcast. I said yes and the rest is history. Alicia was an incredible surprise to me at a hard time of trying to get my film made. So many that had been in my life- some for a lifetime- offered ZERO help to me in making this film. Sometimes just listening helps someone. The reveal of that was quite painful. Alicia not only offered help, support, ideas, but most importantly a safe ear to listen on the other side of our daily Marco Polos. I truly love you and will never forget the support you offered then and now. Have the best damn bday EVA, dear friend. No laundry today pls. She has an issue with laundry. Xoxo

“I refuse to be not enough” amazing Alex Bornstein receiving her Muse Award at @nywift event in NY. Thank you so much for having me. We need so much more of THIS right here!!!!!
I talk about this very thing in ALL my classes!! Be YOU, be your unique, weird, off, rough around the edges, self. It’s your authenticity that will carry you through IT ALL!! I tried for many many years to be what others wanted me to be- it’s NOT worth it and in my case even doable. Just DO YOU! Classes are open again. Link in bio for sign ups.
And yes that that was me screaming “AMEN” in the video !!

This crazy talented beauty @sarita__choudhury and I go way back. Back to the days when we’d be sitting on those couches waiting for our audition. We would alwayssss be going in for the same role but never felt competition for one another. From day one we wished the other well. I remember the very first time I saw her sitting there in the waiting room – I think I said to her that she was the most beautiful person Id ever seen. So it’s so amazing to see those who you’ve known over the years do so well and thrive. To all those ladies, there was a core bunch of us NYC actors who constantly showed up and sat waiting for our break together- I remember you and hope you are ALL doing so well.

The love for this film is deeeep. And so beyond needed. You cannot imagine how this has hit audiences. Just please understand when something hits that deep and resonates with people so much, it’s never an easy road to get it to you. Keep em numb and dumb as I like to say. That’s NOT what audiences want. They want human experiences! They want representation of themselves and their community on the screen! We are comin!!!!!!
Please follow me her for info and @freshkillsfilm soooo much more to come!!

Society is set up to make you not feel good enough. To make people, especially women, feel less than, unattractive, old, too much, not enough etc etc. Makes you doubt yourself enough to buy whatever it is they’re selling so you adjust to the “norm” or even better -make you quit. My classes and workshops are so deeply important to me because they help you REMEMBER! Remember who you ARE. Not only as an artists but as a human. Yes we work on writing, acting etc etc. mostly we work on being human. You cannot act, write or even direct IF you are hiding. The amount of people that have told me my classes have brought them back to life is something I’m so deeply proud of and honestly brings tears to my eyes. It’s a gift I never had the pleasure of receiving on my journey through my career. A place where someone was telling me, YOU CAN- with ZERO ulterial motive or agenda! I figure it this way- if YOU are happier and free as an artist and human it can only HELP a very difficult society. We need MORE of that. Of the brave, free thinkers, artists, and people who SEE AND LIKE themselves – even through all the noise is telling you not too. Thank you @itslinzytaylor for your honestly, work, trust, vulnerability and then sharing with this with others. My classes/workshops online and in person in NYC whenever I’m free enough to dedicate the time. It’s truly a pleasure to pass on what I’ve learned. What’s it’s all for if we don’t.

You can rewrite your story.
I know this for a fact.
You may not like where it started or where it currently is but you can change it from here on out.
Starting with unlocking the things/beliefs of what holds you back. Exactly what the IM SORRY MONOLOGUES is all about. RE-writing what keeps you locked away and stuck. This powerful and amazingly reviewed workshop with @alicia_coppola and myself is happening again. Only a few spaces left.
