    Broadway Stars Taylor Louderman (Mean Girls) & Rachel Potter (Addams Family) Tell All On PLAYDATE.

    In this episode of PLAYDATE with Elle, I sit down in Nashville with Broadway stars Taylor Louderman (Mean Girls, Bring It On, Kinky Boots, Peter Pan Live!) and Rachel Potter (Wicked, The Addams Family, Evita, The Search for Elle Woods) for a heartfelt, hilarious, and honest conversation about life, friendship, motherhood, and what happens after you achieve your dreams.Taylor and I also have a bit of a Bring It On reunion! We grew up together and toured the country in Bring It On: The Musical when we were just 20 years old, eventually making our Broadway debuts together. It was so special to reconnect and reflect on how much life has changed since those early days.We talk about having the courage to start over, daring greatly, finding purpose in new chapters, and the unexpected challenges that can come after reaching the goals you’ve worked your whole life to achieve. What happens when your biggest dream comes true at a young age? Where do you go from there?As always, we play Juicy Jenga, spin the Wheel of Unfortunate Events, and dive into some other fun games along the way.We even get a surprise off-screen appearance from Marty Thomas (Xanadu, Wicked, and of course, Britney Spears’ Star Search champion), which made the day even more memorable.This conversation is filled with laughter, vulnerability, wisdom, and a whole lot of friendship. Taylor and Rachel are not only incredibly talented performers, but two of the kindest, funniest, strongest, and most genuine people I know.Thank you both for being so open, honest, and willing to share your stories. I loved every minute of this conversation and I hope you do too.💖 Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and let us know your favorite moment from the episode!I'd be honored if you became a cast member and picked up a PLAYDATE merch hat to help us represent and build a bigger cast list ;) Thank you to the Analog At The Hutton Hotel Nashville For Hosting Us, and our wonderful publicist Scott Appel, for allowing this conversation/ game night to happen.Make sure to check out Rachel Potter's Off- Broadway Series At The Hutton Hotel, and Taylor Louderman At The Muny in South Pacific! @RachelPotter  https://www.instagram.com/therachelpotter/https://www.instagram.com/taylizlou/#Broadway #MeanGirls #Wicked #AddamsFamily #PlaydateWithElle #TaylorLouderman #RachelPotter #Motherhood #BroadwayPodcast

    Famed Astrologer Haley Comet! The Secret To Finding Your Life Purpose (You'll Never Look At Astrology The Same)

    This week on PLAYDATE we’re joined by famous astrologer Haley Comet for an episode that will completely change how you look at astrology — whether you’re a total beginner or you know your chart like the back of your hand. We break down the most important elements that actually matter (and what people usually misunderstand), dive into what’s coming in 2026 astrology, and explain how to use astrology like a weather forecast + blueprint for your life — not a “faith” you blindly follow.We also get silly: we roast the signs, play games like guessing the rising/ascendant of celebrities, and get into compatibility essentials (the stuff beyond just “What’s your sun sign?”). Then we go deeper — including how astrology can intertwine with religion, how to check if you’re aligned with your correct path, and the parts of a chart people rarely explore.If you’ve ever wanted astrology to feel clearer, smarter, and actually useful… this episode is for you. Consider yourself warned: you won’t see your chart the same after this. 🔮💖

    The Messy Truth About Aging. Dog Immortality Pills , Blue Zones & How To Outsmart Time.

    They say youth is wasted on the young — but what if aging was the point? In this episode, we dive into the strange, beautiful, and sometimes ridiculous obsession with staying young forever — from the new dog anti-aging pill shaking up science to the quiet wisdom of people who’ve truly learned to live. We talk about the real, scientifically proven habits that can turn back time today — simple, evidence-backed things you can do right now to boost longevity, happiness, and health. From Blue Zone lessons to modern anti-aging breakthroughs, we separate the myths from the magic. Elle shares her most embarrassing moments ever — the one that aged her more than any wrinkle — 😆 and we look at the surprising age of people like Colonel Sanders, who built KFC long after everyone thought his moment had passed. Because sometimes, age really is just the beginning. We also unpack the unexpected inheritance left to Diane Keaton’s dog, her incredible legacy in film and on Broadway, and how her fearless creativity continues to inspire new generations to redefine beauty and purpose. Josh breaks down how gray aliens became the accidental beauty ideal, and what that says about our culture’s obsession with perfection and youth; along with this new era of the “undetectable face lift”.   It all leads to one realization — the same one Up captured perfectly — that the adventure was our life all along. 💛 We hope you’re inspired to feel “alive” in the best way you know how   Make sure to subscribe and send your comments for next week’s Magic mushroom 🍄 and watch the FULL episode on YouTube!
