How To Navigate Being an Artist ft. Ananda Palmore

from Casually Spiraling · host Julie Bishop

This week on Casually Spiraling, I’m joined by a dear friend and seriously inspiring human—Ananda Palmore. You may know her from Peacock’s Fight Night alongside Kevin Hart and Don Cheadle, or from her honest, thoughtful writing on Substack.We talk about how we met post-grad in Atlanta, growing up in the industry together, and what it’s been like navigating acting, rejection, and big dreams—now from LA. Ananda opens up about her time at Spelman, finding pride and community, and learning how to take up space without losing kindness.We also dive into Fight Night, what that booking meant after years of auditions, handling last-minute changes on set, and how she stays grounded in a career that can feel unstable and overwhelming.Follow Ananda on Substack: @anandap1 https://substack.com/@anandap1?r=482fa0&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profileFollow Ananda on Instagram: @anandakpalmore https://www.instagram.com/anandakpalmore/Follow Ananda on Tik Tok: @anandapalmore https://www.tiktok.com/@anandapalmore?lang=enFollow, like, comment, and subscribe :)Instagram: @casuallyspiralingpodcast & @julbishopYoutube: CasuallySpiralingPodcastTik Tok: @casuallyspiralingpodcast & @julbishop12Share your stories or questions to [email protected] by Julie BishopCover Artwork by Angelina Richeson

This is the day-to-day reality of working stiffs in a rough galaxy. But when the crew of the cargo freighter Calamity fails to catch break after break, their lives are turned upside down. Bad cargo, spiraling debt, and a woman’s life on the line -- all with the Golden League crime syndicate breathing down their necks -- it’s no surprise that these blue-collar folks get desperate enough to take ANY job. Can’t let danger, or moral compromises, get in the way of their bonus checks. So goes life...FAR BEYOND THE STARS.

Sometimes you will feel like you are moving backwards, spiraling like a rollercoaster, but that's the beauty of life. We circle back to the lessons we have previously learned and the emotions we thought we had already worked through, in order to see them from a different angle. The triggers that once owned us, no longer have any power.
