Italian Word of The Day : Morte Di Fame | Cawfee Tawk with Tara Cannistraci

This week on Cawfee Tawk, Tara's fresh from the movie theater (yes, a real theater!) after catching The Alto Knights starring the incredible Kathrine Narducci. The film dives into the lives of Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, and it's got Tara thinking: about loyalty, nostalgia, history, and yes... Italian slang. Words like Morte Di Fame hit differently when you hear them in context. And Tara shares how those moments brought her full circle, especially as someone who's always been hungry for the stage. She opens up about her early comedy hustle, working for pennies just to get 15 minutes on the mic, and what it really means to be "starving" for success. Plus, some thoughts on dating, saying yes to opportunity, and how being a little Morte Di Fame might just get you where you want to go.
