    There's Always a Way: The Woman Behind the Characters with Jennica McCleary

    Mikki is joined by her friend Jennica McCleary, the actress, singer and performer behind Bette Midler tribute performances, years as Winifred Sanderson, and Rock Cauldron Cabaret, the jukebox musical she created and has been running for eight years. Mikki wants to meet the woman behind those larger-than-life characters, and, as she puts it, Jennica "is larger than life herself. Jennica's one person, place and thing: her mother, who taught her to sing and became her stage manager; backstage at the Broadway revival of The Pajama Game, where she learned how a production really runs; and her experience as a breast cancer survivor, a diagnosis she accepted "as meant for me and meant to change me and help me grow." She talks about the show-must-go-on instinct ("There's always a way"), an ordinary Tuesday of stretching, vocal warmups and porch sparrows, her dog Freddy, turning a non-performance space at Shetland Park into a home for the show, and No Things November. Then the next chapter: working toward certification as a death doula, and why "the conversation about death needs to change." She shares what 15-year-old Jennica would love most about her now, previews a solo cruise ship act and the return of her character Jennica Catastrophe, and Mikki's Book of Shadows prop inspires a few bars of Florence + the Machine. Key Topics Discussed One person, one place, one thing: a musical mother, The Pajama Game backstage, and a diagnosis that changed her The show must go on, and "there's always a way" Why a self-produced show is not a vanity project An ordinary Tuesday: warmups, journaling, porch sparrows and Freddy Meeting Mikki at a Creative Collective coffee, and an eight-month whirlwind move to Salem Turning a non-performance space at Shetland Park into a home for Rock Cauldron Cabaret No Things November and what rest looks like after the run Working toward death doula certification, and changing the conversation about death What 15-year-old Jennica would love most: being comfortable in her own skin About the Guest Jennica McCleary is an actress, singer and performer now based in Salem. Known for her Bette Midler tribute performances and for playing Winifred Sanderson for more than a decade, she opened Disney's Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular in 2015. She created and produces Rock Cauldron Cabaret, a live-singing jukebox musical parody starring the Sanderson Sisters, which has been running for eight years and now calls Shetland Park in Salem home.

    Creativity Connects: Finding Company in the Weird — A Stephanie of All Trades with Stephanie DeLeeuw

    Season 2, Episode 4 of Creativity Connects with Mikki Wilson. Mikki is joined by her friend Stephanie DeLeeuw, community manager at The Hive Workspace in downtown Salem, and quickly learns the title only tells one tiny piece of her story. Stephanie has worked across hospitality, education, and community engagement; she podcasts, dances, has done voiceover work, and loves languages, and the two discover they both spent time at Temple University. Stephanie shares her philosophy that each of us is "a culmination of every single thing that's ever happened to us," the godmother who taught her to fix cars and replace shingles, and the year at Temple Rome that showed her she was "pretty fierce." She talks about being an eternal student, going to PAX East with Take This, a mental health organization for gamers, growing up with Indonesian and Dutch at home, and her advice for language learners: immerse yourself and don't be afraid to make mistakes. In the lightning round she covers dance, her pets, The Giver, fantasy novels, and what people outside gaming miss: "finding company in the weird." Then Mikki's jar of motherly advice meets the handmade smile capsules Stephanie got from her aunt, and Stephanie explains why a gift is really about the giver.

    Katie Kimball Dyer: Little Drops of Happiness — Leading with Heart

    Season 2, Episode 3 of Creativity Connects with Mikki Wilson. Mikki is joined by her friend Katie Kimball Dyer, a financial advisor and business owner who also hosts her own podcast, The Heart of Finance. Mikki sets the work aside to get to the stories, experiences, and quirks that shaped who Katie is. Katie talks about Auntie Norma, the childhood nanny her family "just kept"; a solo study abroad in London, where she promised herself she would not mask and found that people liked the unmasked Katie; and a Girl Scout sailing camp at 14 that turned into a job as a sailing instructor the week she got home.By 17 she was directing an adult sailing program and standing by her own weather calls, lessons in trusting her instincts that now make her quicker to trust younger people. Then Mikki's guest prop comes out, a rubber duck, and Katie explains Jeep ducking and the "little drops of happiness" she leaves for strangers, the blessing bags she keeps in her car, and why seeing the person matters more than anything in the bag. They also cover the Game of Thrones story behind "Katie Stormborn," whether she is more head or heart, and the person who keeps her feet on the ground.Chapters00:00 Welcome, Katie Kimball Dyer01:48 One person: Auntie Norma02:38 One place: London, unmasked05:09 One thing: learning to sail at 1409:03 Leading at 1712:45 The rubber duck prop: Jeep ducking18:04 Blessing bags and a car ready for anything24:26 Katie Stormborn27:18 Head or heart?32:10 The Heart of Finance and where to find Katie Connect with Katie Kimball DyerThe Heart of Finance: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.heartoffinance.com/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=EInstagram: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/katiestormborn/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=ELinkedIn: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiekimballdyer&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=EConnect with Creative CollectiveWebsite: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://creativecollectivema.com/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=E Membership: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://creativecollectivema.com/join/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=E Instagram: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/creativecollectivema/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=E and https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/creativecollectiveexplores/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=E Facebook: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.facebook.com/creativecollectivema/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=E TikTok: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.tiktok.com/@creativecollectivema&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=E LinkedIn: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/company/creative-collective-ma/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=EMentioned in this episodeGirl Scouts: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.girlscouts.org/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=E Mikki's previous guest, Ainsley Keating: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://creativecollectivema.com/a-woman-becoming-ainsley-keating/&source=gmail&ust=1790440057246000&sa=EHosted by Mikki Wilson, founder of Dot Connector ConsultingProduced by Randyll Collum for Peabody TV, your community media center serving the residents and businesses of Peabody and the North Shore area.

    Ainsley Keating: A Woman Becoming — Empathy, Fresh Eyes & the Next Chapter

    Season 2, Episode 2 of Creativity Connects with Mikki Wilson is a team edition. Mikki sits down in the Peabody TV studio with Ainsley Keating, Marketing Manager at Creative Collective, the organization that hosts this podcast. Most of Mikki's guests look back on a journey already lived; Ainsley is a recent graduate at the start of hers, and this episode is a chance "to see a woman becoming."Ainsley graduated from Endicott College in 2026, where she studied psychology and communications with a focus on consumer behavior, and she now creates content, supports Creative Collective members, and tells the stories of this community. Beyond the job title, she talks about the college roommate she never had to front with, growing up sensitive after a move from Baltimore at age seven, empathy as a blessing and a curse, and what she has learned since moving from intern to full-time staff: not being a people pleaser, standing up for yourself, and remembering that change is good. Mikki and Ainsley also talk about being the youngest person in a room full of experienced business owners and why a "fresh, new set of eyes" is exactly what a community needs, eight years of karate that led back to boxing, and what Ainsley hopes she never loses. The episode closes with a surprise prop from Ainsley's own purse: a heart-shaped cherry Jolly Rancher.

    Shantel Alix Fernandex: Leading From Lived Experience

    In this episode of Creativity Connects, Mikki Wilson sits down with Shantel Alix Fernandez to explore how identity, lived experience, and community-centered leadership shape the way we show up for others. Shantel reflects on her journey as an immigrant, Afro-Latina, and trans woman, and how navigating systems that weren’t built for her informed the values she brings into her work today. This conversation goes beyond titles to examine leadership rooted in empathy, representation, and widening access for the next generation. Key Topics Discussed Leading from lived experience and identity Representation, mentorship, and belonging in leadership spaces Community-centered work and relational impact Navigating systems while staying grounded in humanity What it means to widen the path for others Memorable Quotes “When I look at myself in the mirror and think about who I am—as an immigrant, as a person of color, as an Afro-Latina, as a trans woman—it can be hard to say, ‘I belong there.’” — Shantel Alix Fernandez “That’s what I love about my job—I get to interact with people’s reality.” — Shantel Alix Fernandez “Representation is so important. A great mentor sees something in you that you can’t see in yourself—and knows how to pull that out.” — Shantel Alix Fernandez “That’s how change happens—you widen the path behind you so it’s easier for the next person.” — Shantel Alix Fernandez About the Guest Shantel Alix Fernandez is a community leader whose work centers equity, representation, and human-centered impact.
