Hey, I’m Amanda Pereira. I’m an actor, comedian, and creator based out of Toronto, Canada, and I get stuck in my head. A lot. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and if I can’t do something perfectly I don’t do it at all. I’ve wanted to start this podcast for years and I rewrote this description too many times to count. Admitting that feels scary because now I’m wondering if you’re surprised that I settled on this as the final product. See what I mean?
But I’m really tired of trying to be perfect and constantly doubting myself. Like, I need a nap. It’s makes me withdraw from the people around me and it feels impossible to make new friends. When I meet people, I’m so focused on only showing the parts of myself that I think they would like, that I might as well not even be there. This imposter syndrome is even worse when I’m around fellow actors and artists, which leaves me feeling disconnected, like I “know” a ton of people in the acting and comedy community, without really knowing them at all. And damn does that ever feel lonely.
But this year I’m turning 30 years old, and enough is enough! Enter: The Liquid Courage Podcast…
Each week I will sit down with a different woman in the entertainment industry that I admire, that up until now I’ve felt inferior to and flawed in comparison, and finally have a truthful, one-on-one, candid conversation with them. Sound intimidating? Uh, yeah! So, in each episode my guest and I will enjoy their favourite drink (some liquid courage!) to help me get out of my head and finally ask these women the questions I’ve always wanted to.

Thank you to…

While the podcast is in between seasons, here are 2 ways you can continue to support the podcast:
1) Listen to any episodes you haven’t listened to yet – this helps the show continue to have audience engagement while on break.
2) The biggest help – Tell people about the show! The best chance a podcast has of reaching new listeners is by word-of-mouth, so if there’s anyone you know who might like this podcast or a specific episode, it would mean so much if you would send it their way (and thank you in advance).
So thank you again, take care of yourself, and see you next season! I already can’t wait :) -
Ep. 60 - Evelyn Salvarinas
In today’s episode, Amanda drinks some Christmas tea with aura photographer and the founder of Rose Aura, Evelyn Salvarinas to discuss aura readings, energy healing, and (of course) the magical world of Bravo reality TV! Evelyn is an aura photographer and the founder of Rose Aura here in Toronto. Originally from Toronto, Evelyn studied in New York City where she earned a Masters in Fine Art History at Sotheby’s Institute. During her time in the Big Apple, she discovered the power of aura photography at the shop Magic Jewelry, and enjoyed getting her aura photographed and read as frequently as she could. When she returned home to Toronto, she searched for someone who offered film aura photography - but no one had the right camera. So, craving the healing and reflective power of readings, Evelyn set out to fill the aura photography void in Toronto. And in 2017 Rose Aura was born! Evelyn also holds a Crystal Master Certification, and uses a deep knowledge of the chakras to provide unique, informative, and comfortable mystic guidance.
