Episode 18
An interview with our friend, Maeve Forti (part 1 of 2). Maeve is a multi-hyphenated powerhouse. She's a gifted improviser and talented actor on the screen and the stage. And if that wasn't enough, Maeve is also an up-and-coming filmmaker and writer. We discuss her recent OCD diagnosis, living with ADHD and the grief of losing a parent. Also, we talk about executive function issues, living on the edge with procrastination and her aspirational wedding gift registry.
The next episode is the conclusion of this hilarious and vulnerable conversation with Maeve.
