What makes you... YOU???

The TRUTH will make you laugh... and set you on fire. I met Beth Lapides many moons ago. I was pre-motherhood, insecure and deeply obsessed with my acting career. She was the director of a spoken word comedy workshop in Hollywood, which was a fast-trending process for spotlight whores like me. The course was an exercise in both self-loathing and self-loving....if that is even possible. Over the years it has become a widely effective method for artists, writers, performers and comics to develop unique material based on their own painfully disastrous experiences. Therapeutic, revealing ...aaaaaaaand a bit narcissistic. I will never forget getting up on the stage to tell a pathetic and humiliating true encounter of how I was chased off of a poppy reservation by a man in uniform... over a misunderstanding... about where I was allowed--- and NOT ALLOWED --- to walk. What had me in tears only days earlier now had Beth (as well as my classmates) in stitches. One person's pain is another's entertainment. While giving me notes on my performance, Beth told me that she saw a clear theme perfectly threaded through all of my stories: "The Rules Don't Apply To Ally Loprete." The light bulb went off and it was the first time I began to view every one of my circumstances as a transcendence into my unapologetic truth. On Today's Show...
