    Episode 35: Acting, Rejection, and Doing It Anyway w/ Kayla Becker and Vanessa Curry

    Send us a text What keeps an actor chasing the next audition when the no’s pile up, the nerves hit at the worst moment, and even big breaks don’t guarantee the next job? We crack open the real toolkit that sustains a creative career: practical audition tactics, honest mindset shifts, and the discipline to make your own work while the industry decides. We dig into Jenna Fischer’s The Actor’s Life and connect it to our lived experience. You’ll hear how memorizing just the first three lines anchors a read, why casting actually prefers you hold the sides, and how one decisive nonverbal reaction can signal you’re truly listening. We talk range—when to go bigger so they can pull you back, and when restraint reads as truth. We explore the power of bringing yourself to the character instead of forcing a mask, the strange realities of type and “the look,” and why fame doesn’t hand you every role. Along the way, we share a gut-punch story of getting fired post-success and how to process that hit without losing your voice. Mindset is the throughline. We reframe rejection with “no-to-yes math,” use a 24-hour window to feel and release, and outline body-based tools for audition anxiety: Feldenkrais, power stances, breath, and music that blocks comparison. Then we get tactical about career SEO: building a consistent body of work through short films, sketches, and podcasts, collaborating with people who match your taste and work ethic, and ignoring the fear of being “cringe.” Confidence doesn’t come from credits. It comes from showing up prepared, present, and honest—again and again. If you need a nudge to keep going, this one’s for you. Hit play, then tell us the one audition habit you’ll try this week.

    Episode 34: The Golden Globes Were Messy. Let’s Discuss w/ Kayla Becker and Vanessa Curry

    Send us a text Awards season is officially here, and the Golden Globes kicked it off in classic chaotic fashion. Now that we’re a week removed and emotions have settled, we break down everything from the 2026 Golden Globe Awards — the wins that made sense, the snubs that hurt, the surprises no one saw coming, and the moments that had the internet in a chokehold. We get into whether awards still matter or just confirm careers that already exist, how much campaigning plays into wins, and whether Hollywood is officially shifting toward a new generation of talent. From Hamnet and One Battle After Another dominating the night, to standout acting wins from Timothée Chalamet, Jessie Buckley, and Teyana Taylor, to the projects that walked away with nothing (looking at you, Wicked: For Good), nothing is off the table. Plus: Nikki Glaser’s hosting — what landed, what didn’t, and the jokes CBS wouldn’t let air — the bizarre UFC walk-on that left everyone confused, viral backstage moments, and why awards shows now feel more like content farms than ceremonies. Was this a night about excellence, narrative, or pure chaos? And which of these wins will actually matter come Oscar time? Let’s talk Golden Globes.

    Episode 33: From Bama to Booed (and Still Standing): We Sit Down with Comedian Martin Morrow

    Send us a text From a sold-out homecoming show to a $300-a-week “assistant” gig (that somehow involved a robot litter box) and the night 6,000 people booed, Martin Morrow gets real about what it actually looks like to be a working comic. He talks about how he reads a room almost instantly, why LA can humble you faster than New York, and how you protect your material while still playing the social media game. We get into dry spells, charity gigs vs. clubs, and the weird crowd-work paradox—why those clips help you grow but also change how audiences behave. It’s honest, funny, and genuinely useful if you care about stand-up or building something that lasts. And stick around for Sip or Spill, where Martin spills a few secrets about the comedy industry he probably shouldn’t. If you enjoyed the episode, follow, rate, and share it with a friend who loves comedy and leave us a review with your favorite moment.

    Episode 32: Honeys, We're Home!!

    Send us a text After a little time away, Milk & Honeys is back in the studio. In our first episode of the new year, we’re catching up on everything that happened while we were gone — from hosting our Raise the Bar event and realizing we might accidentally be good at event planning, to spending the holidays with family and ringing in the new year very differently (one of us out, one of us happily horizontal). We talk about rest, reflection, and what we’re taking with us into 2026 — both personally and as a podcast. What stays the same, what gets better, and how we’re raising the bar this year without losing the fun. Same Honeys. Fresh energy. We’re home.

    Episode 30: It’s Giving… Holidays w/ Kayla Becker and Vanessa Curry

    Send us a text We’re wrapping up the year with the studio lights off but the stories still shining. Seven months on the mic(!), and we’re diving into everything that makes the holidays both chaotic and kind of perfect—cozy rituals, family messiness, and the art of doing less without feeling bad about it. From LA’s “winter” (aka sunshine) to that first real-tree smell, we talk about the little sensory things that make the season actually feel like the season, even when the weather refuses to cooperate. We share the childhood traditions that shaped us—midnight gift opens, Santa’s bells, the presents that hit way too hard—and get honest about the modern gift-giving struggle. When is a gift really for the giver? Are budgets a trap? And yes, a thoughtful gift card does count. Food gets its moment too: fruitcake is a no, homemade beats store-bought, and eggnog needs a lil’ kick or don’t bother. We also push back on the all-or-nothing New Year energy. Instead of sprinting into January just to flame out by February, we’re talking year-round habits, financial freedom goals, and a steady “stay ready” mindset. And then—big news. We’re announcing Raise the Bar, our live podcast event and benefit night for foster youth at the Sofitel in Beverly Hills. Think music, a DJ, stand-up, surprises, raffles, a silent auction—the whole vibe—all supporting Peace4Kids. This is holiday energy turned into real impact. We’re off the studio mics for two weeks, but still active on socials, prepping for the live show and a strong start to 2026. Come hang with us for laughs, honesty, and some give-back energy. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves holiday chaos, and if you’re local—grab your ticket to Raise the Bar. Let’s make a night of it for a cause that matters.

    Talk Turkey to Me — A Milk & Honeys Thanksgiving

    Send us a text A Thanksgiving episode that starts with turkey-costume chaos and hangover giggles, then lands in real gratitude thanks to Showering Love, a Fort Lauderdale nonprofit offering showers, laundry, and care to people experiencing homelessness—especially veterans. We swap stories about the messy beauty of the holiday: over-the-top menus, road trips with cats, eating alone without apology, and the comfort of garlic-heavy mashed potatoes and questionable cranberry sauce. We get honest about the hard stuff too—political grenades at the table, navigating dry households, setting boundaries, and loving people from a healthy distance. It’s about rest, softness, and choosing what actually nourishes you. If you’re cooking solo, carrying family emotions, grieving, or quietly rebuilding, this one’s for you. Come for the laughs; stay for the grounding tools, tiny blessings, and a reminder to ask someone, “Tell me something good.”

    Episode 28: Type A vs Type B: Friendship, Anxiety, And Owning Your Wins

    Send us a text Control or calm—what do you grab for when life gets loud? We break down the tension between Type A urgency and Type B ease through the most relatable moments: Uber countdown panic, movie-night delays, and that friend who always needs “one last spritz.” We translate the traits in simple terms: Type A finds safety in structure; Type B protects peace through flexibility. From time anxiety to doorway pacing, we talk honestly about negotiating mismatched rhythms—offering real tools like micro-routines for the drifter, a grounding breath for the clock-watcher, and shared context (boats leave on time; brunch doesn’t). Then we tackle confidence vs. bragging. Big rooms can trigger imposter syndrome, especially for women taught to shrink. Our rule: celebrate yourself, but leave room to listen. We call out name-dropping, share a story where gracious confidence wins, and run a “brag break” featuring dance projects, video-game characters, and hometown escape arcs. We wrap with watchlist therapy—from true crime to cozy comfort shows—and leave you with usable reminders: set two alarms, take two breaths, and brag until your nervous system believes you. If it hits home, follow, share with your opposite-type friend, and drop your proudest win of the week.

    Episode 27: It’s Literally Science: Finding Daily Joy with Kathleen Ives

    Send us a text Joy doesn’t need perfect circumstances—it needs presence and small, repeatable choices. Author, spiritual medium, and death doula Kathleen Ives joins us to talk about her book “7 Ways to Live in Joy Today” and her 5-6-7-8 method for building joy from micro moments: sleeping 30 minutes earlier, swapping one numbing habit for one nourishing one, and setting boundaries that protect your energy. We explore joy as a daily practice—not a performance—plus Kathleen’s refreshing take on money, death, and meaning. She opens up about her mediumship and death doula work, sharing simple rituals for honoring endings and finding beauty in small things. End with a one-minute joy audit you can do anywhere: one slow breath, three things you find beautiful. It’s literally science—and it works.  New episodes every Wednesday. Tag us when you try the one-breath practice!
