This week Marsha welcomes Canadian painter and her beloved dance partner, Andrea Bolley on the podcast to tell the story behind Drake naming her “6MOM” and how she became known to be “the artist who can’t stop dancing” at some of the hottest clubs in Toronto and Hollywood.
Marsha and Andrea reflect on hitting the town together and dancing all night long. From Harriet’s to Delilah’s, and of course, to Poppy's– Andrea tells Marsha that she was discouraged from going out to dance at nightclubs by some of her closest friends and family members because of her age.
Andrea goes on to tell Marsha about her love for music, nightlife, and what it was like meeting Drake, Snoop Dogg, Director X, and Sean Paul for the first time.
Marsha and Andrea discuss ageism, social standards, and how to keep moving (and dancing) to keep your soul alive no matter what age you are.

Sometimes even the most famous celebrities get denied entrance to the club. But not because of this. Marsha invites curve models Gabriella Halikas and Alexa Jay on the podcast to tell their story about the night they were denied entrance to a popular night lounge in Hollywood for being plus-sized.

Though we’ve thought about what we want to be when we grow up, we’re not nearly as reflective about who we are now. Marsha sits down with her friend, singer-songwriter Bonnie Mckee to talk about what it meant to manifest her dreams as a teenage pop-star living in Hollywood, and ultimately, becoming one of the biggest co-writers for some of our favorite pop artists to this day– Katy Perry, Brittany Spears, Jason Derulo, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera (the list goes on).
Bonnie explains to Marsha that it wasn’t easy becoming a pop-star at age 16 after all. Shortly after her first album release, Bonnie tells Marsha she was lonely, broke, eventually dropped from her label, and struggled to work through a serious addiction to crystal meth.
Marsha and Bonnie discuss the business of songwriting, and how Bonnie figured out how to rebuild her life after hitting rock bottom. Bonnie also tells the story behind how she met, and eventually co-wrote some of the biggest hits for Katy Perry (“California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Last Friday Night”,and “Roar”).
The two conclude with a discussion on sobriety, and Bonnie shares her new endeavor as a director and actress, in her new short film “April Kills The Vibe.” Bonnie also tells Marsha about her new music dropping in 2023.

TW: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault and trauma.
Today's episode theme is "Shame can't live in the dark." Emmy nominated actor and director, Melora Hardin, tells Marsha about her new docuseries, “Thunder, Hunter & Me,” and what she learned about healing, aging, and human connection.
Melora takes Marsha through some of her greatest career moments yet. From “The Office” to “Love, Classified,” Melora knows exactly what it takes to make a great film and compelling characters– however, it wasn’t until Melora met Hunter, a 50-something year old woman who opened up to her about her childhood abuse, that she made a deeper connection with the power of storytelling and how personal transformation *actually* works.
Melora explains why “doing the work” and learning how to heal in your adult life is so important.

Actress Logan Browning (known for her starring role as Samantha in "Dear White People") tells Marsha about what it was like growing up as a child actor, moving to LA without her parents, and how she’s learning to navigate Hollywood as a Black female content creator.

Marsha sits down with actor, author, and Golden Globe winner, Chris Colfer, to talk about queer representation in the media – more specifically, how his lead role on GLEE helped pave the way for the younger LGBTQIA+ community to see themselves on TV – and what it means to protect yourself from bullies, both on and off the screen.
The two start their conversation with high school; Chris tells Marsha that as a teen he was bullied a lot, and that there wasn’t a safe space to identify as gay. This reality followed Chris as he re-lived his high school experience all over again on the hit musical TV show, GLEE [21:04]
Chris goes on to talk about visibility and the impact of writing books for queer youth. He now has published over 15 novels and says some are in countries where being gay is still illegal. Chris knows this is a HUGE responsibility, but as a writer, he wants queer kids everywhere around the world to feel seen [38:52]
Marsha and Chris conclude the episode by calling out the need for more queer writers, directors, and actors. Without representation, there will be no future in uplifting the next generation of storytellers [1:12:35]

This episode is about fighting for your rights, fighting to be treated right, and fighting for your position. Not only having your own voice, but also having people advocate for you. Hall of Fame Marketing Executive, Bozoma Saint John, dives straight in with Marsha on this heartfelt and powerful conversation.
Boz talks about where her fire comes from within her soul—as a child, constantly having to speak up for herself. Moving from Ghana to Colorado Springs at 12 years old, she talks about the narrative that organizations like UNICEF and World Aid were telling everybody, “that African children were worth one penny.”
Marsha rewinds the clock to 2016 bringing Boz back to her memories of presenting at Apple's yearly World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC). At the time, Apple was facing major criticism in how male and white their presenters have been in the past. From her anxiety leading up to the event to her fashion and music choices, Boz gives us the real peek behind the curtain. in tearing down this glass ceiling — and by the way, Boz will tell you there isn’t just one glass ceiling, they keep on coming and you have to keep on breaking them.
The conversation then travels into the dark side of success. When you get to “the top”, there’s the weight of carrying everyone under your wing, and as you grow that weight gets heavier too.
They wrap up their conversation touching on the “failure of trying to fit in.” As these two badass career women will tell you, “we need to be ourselves or it’s not going to work.
