This week, we welcome Annalise Raziq to the show. Annalise is a Chicago-based storyteller, actor, musician, peace activist and mother. She joins Tyler to talk about growing up in a divorced family surrounded by various forms of mental illness and how she turned that tumultuous upbringing around in order to raise an empathetic and loving daughter. In this candid conversation, Annalise opens up about the complicated bond she formed with her biological father, how she set boundaries with her step-mother and how she developed a loving relationship with her step-father, Bill. This episode highlights the importance of talking about emotions and how creativity can help us form intimate connections with the people around us. Those connections help us realize that everyone is dealing with something - and we just never know without leaning in to connect.Annalise Raziq on The Moth.About the GuestAnnalise Raziq is a versatile performer; she has worked with renowned playwright Tony Kushner and also played the back end of a dragon.
