67 | Acting on Instinct: How Our Past Shapes The Actors We Are Today

I had an amazing time chatting with Reena Friedman Watts on The @BetterCallDaddy Show. We got into the nitty-gritty of my life as an American actress, screenwriter, and podcaster living in Germany. I shared my wild ride into the acting world, and we talked about the importance of just jumping in and taking those first steps, even if they’re not perfect. We went back to my film school days and the big leap I took getting back into acting after a 16-year break. It wasn’t always easy balancing family life with a demanding career, and I spilled the tea on my rebellious teenage years and the complicated relationships with my parents. I also got real about forgiving my mom and how that shaped my own parenting style, showing just how strong and resilient we can be. This conversation is packed with heartfelt moments, stories of overcoming adversity, and a lot of laughs. So, join us for a deep dive into embracing imperfections, choosing light over darkness, and finding inspiration in every twist and turn life throws your way.
