58. Bada$$ Plus Size TV Characters 

Welcome to the Eff Your Fears Podcast, where funny lady Ashley Monique Menard chats with her Funny &amp; big-hearted friend Kristin Cantwell.  Kristin is an incredibly talented writer,  voice-over artist, and plus-size actress who shares her journey in the arts with Ashley and you!   The two talk about what it's like being a big girl in theater, film, and tv and how Kristin prepared to play a cat...voice a cat.   Kristin is an actor, writer, improviser, and aspiring cat lady based in New York City. She's appeared on The Path (Hulu), The Shorts Show, and many other web series, independent films, and theatre productions. You will be able to watch her in the upcoming seasons of the award-winning web series Skeleton Crew and Demon Doctor. And, like every other actor out there, got a microphone during the pandemic and has started dipping her toes into that world too. She'll get to use her cat lady skills in the upcoming animated short film, Kris the Cat.     Originally from Virginia, Kristin has a BA in Theater from the University of Mary Washington. Her one-person shows, Confessions of an Invisible Woman and Butter: a love story, premiered to sold-out audiences at the Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC. She also co-founded, wrote, and performed with her sketch comedy group, Curvy by Nature.   When she's not performing or writing (or saying she needs to write and then cleaning her entire apartment instead), she can be found cuddling with her cat, Thom, showing real estate around NYC as part of her day job, taking classes at Kimball Studio, reading books, cooking, dancing it out, and trying to stay joyful in a pandemic.    More Kristin? https://www.instagram.com/thekristincantwell/ More Ashley? https://www.instagram.com/nowstarringashley/ https://www.effyourfears.com/--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/effyourfears/support

48. Get empowered, transform your life's stressors into maximizing your potential with Jason Wasser LMFT

In this episode, Ashley Monique Menard chats with Nicki Woodard about her passion for history and the original socialites in her Podcast As the Money Burns.  The ladies also talk about overcoming challenges and dealing with fear.     Follow Nicki Woodard of As the Money Burns IG FB @asthemoneyburns www. asthemoneyburns.com  Follow Ashley Monique Menard  IG @nowstarringashley @theeffyourfears www.theartofblowingittheseries.com www.effyourfears.com  Kara Loewentheil  www.unfuckyourbrain.com IG@karaloewentheil   Here's a bit more about Nicki Woodard:  Back in high school, Nicki Woodard first merged her passions of history and media making video documentaries for History Fair (yes, like Science Fair) using her father’s super-VHS studio.  Since then, she went on to the University of Texas at Austin, studying B.A. in History and B.S. in Radio-Television-Film.  She would go on to earn an M.A. in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago.  She worked for 4 years on multiple History Channel and A&amp;E documentaries before exploring other parts of Hollywood.   She has served as a research consultant for USA’s Mr. Robot Seasons 3 &amp; 4 and Briarpatch, as well as helping others develop subjects on other projects.  She loves combining history, research, and media.  In parallel to her professional development, Nicki spent the summer between her junior and senior year doing a high school program at Brown University and visited Newport, Rhode Island, where she experienced her first love.  Shortly afterward, returning home, she lost her brother to cancer and has had a long, complicated life, including a failed marriage.   After her divorce and ending a long-time job, she went to find a project to develop for film and television. She stumbled onto an article about a summer’s events in Newport, Rhode Island in 1929 — a few months before the infamous Wall Street Crash.  After further digging, she discovered a world of actual heirs &amp; heiresses whose lives paralleled her own, all except in money.  After years of developing that idea, Nicki has turned those stories into As The Money Burns podcast.   Thank you, Nicki, for coming on the show and giving me your incredible and legendary bio!  Thanks for coming on the show!  ---   This episode is sponsored by  · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app  Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/effyourfears/support
