Katie MacNichol Feels Grateful and Faithful

NOTE BEFORE: In this episode we mention suicide ideation and drug use which may be sensitive subjects for some.

Act Like A Mother creator and co-host Katie MacNichol takes her turn in the interview seat to share her beautiful, funny and deeply moving story of acting and mothering. She describes her early days in NYC - on Broadway one day and back to waiting tables the next - her meet-cute moment with her actor husband, and how they raised their two kids while working on stage and on the road. Katie speaks honestly with Melanie about the creative ways she managed to weather not only the ups and downs of a fickle business and financial strain but also the pain, fear and confusion she faced during her teenage son’s struggle with addiction. She shines light on what that experience taught her about her role as a mom and her relationship to her career, and she reveals how this podcast is the direct result of the gifts that come when we’re willing to tell the truth about how life is.More about Katie:https://katiemacnichol.com@katiemacnicholhttps://backyardrenaissance.comhttps://www.theoldglobe.org
