    Episode 003: Heidi Gardner, The Entertainer

    Today's episode features the brilliantly funny and deeply warm Heidi Gardner. Heidi takes us back to her childhood in Kansas City, Missouri, where mall visits and prank phone calls helped shape her into the performer she is today. We explore the winding road Heidi took from working as a hairstylist for years, to watching her first Groundlings show, to performing on SNL for eight seasons. She shares how she learned to hear "no" without losing herself, and what it means to finally have time to rediscover the quieter parts of life after years of non-stop work on SNL.   Tune in for a conversation about resilience, the power of people who believe in you before you believe in yourself, and the lifelong work of finding your why.   (0:00) Introducing Heidi Gardner: SNL, Broadway & comedy (3:00) Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri (5:00) Mall culture, pop culture & childhood taste-makers (6:50) Heidi's Broadway debut and closing the show in All Out (12:00) How prank phone calls launched a comedy career (16:30) Her unconventional, creative single parents (21:30) Dropping out of college and moving to LA for beauty school (23:30) Heidi's career as a hairdresser in Los Angeles (27:30) Discovering the Groundlings and finding her calling in comedy (31:00) What it's really like performing live on SNL (35:00) Life after SNL: slowing down, bookstores & decompressing (41:00) Handling rejection and resilience in a creative career (47:30) Hosting theme parties and creating experiences for friends (53:30) Take Your Time Back: three closing questions on time   Thank you for listening to Take Your Time.

    Episode 002: Ara Katz, The Mentor

    For our first interview of the season, I sat down with my mentor and friend, the brilliant and ever-wise Ara Katz. During our conversation, Ara reflected on many things: her return to New York after years living in LA, how experiencing grief as a teen shaped her worldview, and how she turned to creativity as a means of survival as a child. We explore neuroaesthetics and the impact of physical space, the importance of quiet, intuition, and trust in oneself, and why creatives must resist "contorting" for social media algorithms.  Tune in for a meditation on self-trust, the importance of non-attachment, and the lifelong work of becoming who you are.

    Episode 001: Welcome to the Take Your Time Universe

    For the very first episode of Take Your Time, I'm sharing my own story and the "why" behind this podcast. I reflect on growing up in a small town in South Florida, discovering art history in eighth grade, and how collecting images through magazines, art books, and Tumblr became my creative safe space. I talk about how Take Your Time became my personal mantra as I built Crown Affair, what it really means to slow down and reclaim your time, and why I believe that all of us are creative, we just have to get quiet enough to listen to ourselves. Tune in for a meditation on dreaming, consistency, and the seeds we plant long before we ever see the fruit.
