Amara discusses avoiding burnout by scheduling gigs, tells two performance disasters (a Hinesville coffee shop with a restarted track; a Mario Kart duet where props/karts fell apart), shouts out designer Ruby Hyman, answers Marty’s poll (snack, Ursula dream role, celebrity meetings with Detox and Veronica Taylor, Winnie-the-Pooh quote, Steven Universe and Devil Wears Prada), and opens up about processing grief and mental health.   She plugs Instagram @amara_fiyera, introduces Haus Coven and @hauscovensavannah, and ends with an ego-boost exchange and Marty praising her growth.   YEAH, YOU TAP THAT: Here's Marty Milquetoast Amara on IG The Marty Show on IG WATCH The Marty Show on YouTube     FIND A FAVORITE SPOT IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Welcome to The Marty Show 00:51 Halloween Extravaganza Plug 01:28 Sponsor Spotlight Hairdo Salon 02:17 Sponsor a Skeleton Pitch 03:05 Joke and Interview Kickoff 03:30 Meet Amara Fiyera 04:10 Origin of the Drag Name 06:17 Early Performer Roots 09:22 First Drag Performance 10:30 Finding Her True Style 14:00 Why She Keeps Performing 15:17 Balancing Drag and Life 17:22 Performer Horror Stories 22:52 Wario or Waluigi 23:07 Shoutout Segment Begins 23:50 Designer Shoutout 25:10 Marty’s Poll Begins 25:56 Dream Roles and Villains 26:52 Celebrity Encounters 29:20 Favorite Quote and Rewatches 31:18 Grief and Forgiveness 35:10 Joy Simplicity and Growth 38:14 Trust and Communication 39:40 Ego Boost Segment 41:24 Where to Follow and Haus Coven 43:35 Final Thanks and Reflections
