I've been really obsessed with organization lately. My husband, my dining set, my art collection, Prairie skies. When the snow finally melt. So that's it.

5:46 When the snow melts is my favorite. One. Six countries you have visited. If you have six countries, I've visited. Mmmmm, I have visited, well, Russia was born in Canada. The United States of America. Oh my god, why am I? Yeah? In the United States of America. I have visited France, and I have visited Why am I blanking? This is kind of hard.

Yes, okay, I'll I haven't seen that show. Yeah, I have it on my list. I haven't seen it yet, though. Oh my god. Netflix canceled it so unjustly. It deserved five more seasons. What did they do? The thing where I feel like with Netflix they always it'll be like the first three seasons and then they're like, actually we're done now like that.

7:52 Yeah, they gave US two with an amazing cliffhanger ending that would have gone on to the next season, and then they just decided to shut it down. But it was the best show they've ever created. I'll bet money on that. It's the best show they've ever funded. Whoa, yeah, it's that good. And to leave it on a cliffhanger like something happening. They love to do that. They did that with Santa Clarita, Diet with Drew Barrymore. It was so good for three seasons, biggest cliffhanger and then done that sucks. I'll never forgive you Netflix, Fuck you Netflix. All right, well this will make up for it. Three alternative names. For breasts, oh, tits, boobies, breasts, tits, boobies.

8:43 Girls of what was much saying? She was like, fun bags, Yeah, that's so so much. I was like, all right, two professions you would love to do? Mmm, I don't already. I know you do a lot. Oh yeah, I do a lot, but that i'd love to do. Oh my god, I do everything I want to do. Nice, Okay, cool, all right, I think about two professions that you'd be curious to, like try out for a day. It'd be cool to try being an intimacy coordinator. Oh nice, I would do that for a day. I think it would also be cool to be a director.

9:27 I guess. I love it. I love those all right, last one one woman you are proud of hmm my mom. Oh. Love it. Thanks for indulging us in our Sliver countdown game. Thanks for playing with me, you know. Okay, So I guess let's just start with some backgrounds. So you've, yeah, you do a lot, dancer, creator, actress, writer. So how did you get involved in like the creative arts and what was the draw?

10:07 Yeah? I mean I was always a really creative person and a really creative kid. I started out being a dancer as a child and competing kind of around the world and just was really really focused on that as a craft. I moved to New York City years ago and went and trained at the Alvin Ailey School, and my dream then was to be a pro dancer and like a contemporary dance company. That dream came true. I did that. I moved on kind of to the next dream, which was to be an actress, which kind of accidentally happened.

10:48 I auditioned for a role of a dancer in a movie and I ended up booking that role, and then that director really liked me, and he told me about another director who was come to town who was about to shoot a horror film with Sukie Waterhouse and Madison Baty and a bunch of great, great girls, and we shot. I auditioned for it, and I booked that, and we shot that movie in my hometown, actually not my Russian hometown, but my Canadian hometown where I spent most of my youth, and that was really really cool. Then I went back to New York after filming. That, and the pandemic happened, and then funnily enough, I ended up once production started rolling again, I ended up moving to Vancouver for about a year.

11:35 I actually met Noble while I was there. Yeah, they were both actors, And yeah, I met a bunch of people there. I worked on a bunch of projects. I worked on Riverdale, a show called Duvil in Ohio, and then I ended up booking a lead role on a show for Apple TV called The Big Door Prize and went to Atlanta for that for two years. Wow. Yeah, and just kind of kept working and doing films and TV. So that's my that's my my main my main work. Yeah, film acting, and through that I actually got a voice agent.

12:16 They found me through hearing me talk on. The Big Door Prize and so then you know, since then too, like auditions for all kinds of you know, animated and series and different voiceover type of things. And then now stumbling years later into Quinn, right. Was noble the bridge to Quinn? Did he say you should try this out or you just found it on your own? Well, you know. What I was kind of I found it on my own. And I didn't even know that he was a creator on Quinn. I just always knew him as like my friend who was an actor and a musician, fond memories of meeting him.

12:56 In in Vancouver. But I was really I forget how I found Quinn. I think it was through when they had an original by Victoria PADRETTI. Yes, okay, And that's kind of when Quinn was on my radar. And many people in my life have told me that they really like my voice. And I've just always been really interested and really enjoyed voiceover work, and I've really enjoyed romance and sensuality, and I love women. I'm a queer woman. And one day I just thought, you know, I think this is something that I could be really good at and would be would have a lot of fun doing, especially like the writing of the stories and the performing of my own stories. And yeah, I talked to Noble about it and was just curious because I saw him on the app and I was like, what's up with this?

13:58 How did you get into it? And he told me a little bit more about it, and I ended up doing an audition for Quinn and they ended up liking me. And I've been creating for four months. Did you have any like nerves or like resistance because it's it's a very different field. Yeah, aka, yeah, Yeah, I did have nerves and I did have resistance, mostly because a lot of the characters that I've played on TV have been teenagers, okay, and so you know, although I am a woman and I'm thirty one, I read as young on screen sometimes, and I was just concerned that I wouldn't want anyone to be thinking of me in a way.

14:50 That's not right, you know. But then I very quickly got over that and spoke to my my team about it, and they were super on board for me doing it if it was something I was having fun with, and I do have a lot of fun with it, and that's great. Yeah, it's got to be kind of neat, like as an actor to do something like you said, where you get to be the writer, the producer, the director, like you get to do it all and perform it. That's got to be pretty cool for an actor. Oh, it's so cool and it's so much fun, and it also shows a really different side of my work. So how did you feel before you dropped, like the night before your very first drop.

15:34 Oh, I was really excited. I was really nervous. I wasn't sure how. It would be perceived or how it would be received. And people really liked my first audio and that made me really really happy because it was my first foray and my first try and my first ever recorded piece of audio erotica. It's such a supportive community. From what I found really is god. I love it so much and everyone has been so respectful too. That was one thing that I was concerned about, but I've received nothing but respectful feedback and comments and it's great.

16:20 That's really so good. I was looking at some of your Quinn comments from your first audio and there that just must have made you feel so good, Like your first drop and just seeing all of these like, oh my god, there's a new bomb show in the house. It was it was fun. It was cool. So when you talk about, like, you know, kind of the community being really supportive, which is amazing as it should be. Uh, is there any kind of like how did you decide to go face forward versus anonymous? I think already in my acting career and my performance career and face forward, and so I had no problem being a face forward creator for Quinn as well, because the way I see it, I'm writing stories. I'm telling stories, and it's no different than the rest of the acting.

17:10 That I do. And I don't mind, and I'm excited to put my real self and face behind it as the creator of the work. And if people want to also support my other work, my acting, film and TV work, they can find that. And you know, I hope that they do appreciate the different types of creative work that I do. Mm hmm. Yeah. It is always fun, like as as members of the community, like when we learn of other projects that VAS do and other work that they do, did she be like, oh my god, I didn't realize. You know, he's a musician as well. Or she acted like like already, It's like, okay, so now I've got Juliette shows in my key. It's like, okay, you know, so it is fun to learn what else you all do.

17:58 When I you know, when you first came on the scene, you know, you know new creator alert, you know Quinn will put that out and say new creator alert. I was like, oh my gosh, yes, and you got so excited to listen to the first drop. And I remember listening to your first drop room seven seven seven, and I remember the part where I was just like, yes, where spoilers going ahead, listeners, Okay, go listen to it where you it's your your X shows up and you open the door and you're like, by the way, I'm hot, I'm rich, like in my life's going great, slam the door. I remember, like, this is the best fucking first audio ever. Thank you, thank you so much. So it makes me think, like, when you first started this, were there any assumptions you had about audio erotica that you know early on that you kind of had to rethink now that you're in it.

18:47 Yes, I think so. I thought a lot of the audios had to be extremely kinky. M H and with creating a few more audios to kind of see what kind of writing of mine that people respond to. I've kind of delved into also very tender, and delved into also very nostalgic and inspired by queer media that might be up and coming, or of moments that I've had in past relationships perhaps inspires my writing, and I think it's just nice to see that there's a different audience for the different kinds of stories that I put out. I'm still trying to see because I've only put out what will be probably by the time this is released for audios, and I do one per month, but it'll be interesting to see what people respond to the best I think recently, out of my three that are released, it's probably the first one, I think, because there is that level of confidence and it is a little bit more kinky than my other audios.

19:53 But the one that's upcoming is also a very fun one too. So it's so I guess my assumption did change because I'm still trying to find my what my heavy hitter will be. Yeah, like what's gonna be? I was gonna say, what's gonna be your lane? But that's the cool thing about it, is that you can swim in whatever lanes you want. Yeah, and I love that, Yeah. Which is awesome. It's so good and there really is. Like that's the beauty of the audios is that there is something for everyone. If someone wants something really super kinky, they'll they'll find it. If they want something really tender, they'll find it. And what we've learned, you know, being with hundreds and hundreds of women in this community, is that people usually want all of it at some point, you know. But yeah, the tender ones. I think so many of the women are like to feel so nurtured by them, and it's like this is because we're the nurturer, is typically right, So to feel nurtured by these audios is really special.

20:51 Yeah. Absolutely. What other types of like I guess, tropes or subjects are you interested in exploring. I'm I'm really interested in exploring. Funnily enough, I'm trying to work on writing some audio specifically for pregnant women and people going through pregnancy that I am pregnant right now, and there's so many things that happen when you go through pregnancy and your sensuality changes, and I think it would just be nice to have some maybe guided meditations and things on there too. Yeah, I'm really really looking forward to doing that, and then also just writing kind of audios within every trope. I like to keep it fresh, and I like to keep it fun, and I like to keep it grounded and.

21:53 Real but also playful. I'm looking forward to it all. I guess that's something that I think, you know, we're all discovering as a community too with audio erotica, is you can have things like that. So you know, there's audios that are just released for people who have chronic illnesses, you know, or and I never would have thought about something like that, and then you read that or I look at that to listen to and you're just like, yes, this is amazing. And so there's always, like you said, like Kaza like finding your lane, but you can find your lane wherever. Yeah, Like period audios have been really like menstrual audios have been like comfort audios around for that time of the month is really popular with you know, so yeah, people want like hard dom, kinky, sexy shit, and then they want like comfort me when my cramps are fucking killing me and everything in between.

22:40 Yeah. Absolutely, So if you could speak to your younger self. What would you tell her about where you've ended up right now at age thirty one? Yeah, I would say you are so cool. You do everything that you want to do. You're an artist, You've dreamed big, your dreams have all come true. Just keep doing everything that you want to do and don't care what anybody thinks. Yeah, be kind, be a good person, and just have fun. Mm hmmm. I think that's a message for anyone at any age. So all listeners pay attention to Juliete. Yes, So pregnancy Audio's brilliant idea first of all, Like, so brilliant.

23:30 What other kinds of like stories or voices do you think are missing from the AE space or do you have a finger on the pulse of that? But what ca we use more of? Well? I think more black voices. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was really really happy to start working in the space on Quinn, especially as a black creator. You know, I think because I am a minority, there's often less of blackness in artistic space is just in general. But yeah, you know, it's nice to it's nice when I see diversity of creators across all. You know, in general, this space needs more. I think that I could see how it would be maybe difficult for some people to enter the space as front facing creators who are minorities.

24:26 It's just different. Yeah, I love to see diversity of creators, and I'm glad that Quinn has a diversity of creators for sure. Yeah, it is great that they have a good diversity. We always say we do wish that they would promote diversity a little bit more, that you know, promote you know, all kinds of creators, like let's see, let's see the queer creators, let's see the black creators, let's see. Yeah, and when your name came on, I remember, you know again we're in spaces where we talk to women all the time, and even on social media, when your name came up, everyone's like yes, finally, like thank you, thank you. Yeah. I will say it's been really really great working with them, and they've been super super supportive of me and and I'm glad even the people that they're pulling in onto the originals are diverse as well, and so that's really really great and they're really on top of it.

25:18 I don't know how. Yeah, some of the one I know, I keep I keep seeing people saying the devil works quick, but Quinn works faster. It's true, it's I mean. I don't know how. I mean clearly, I mean clearly they have like an inside lane, which understandably yeah, and it is good the diversity and it so, I mean I would like to. I would like the next one to be a woman, just saying woman back please. Well, your wish is probably their command, so will probably happen soon. I wish you're going to start tagging them every time we see an amazing woman we think would be great, just. Yes in the comments, because there's a lot of creators end up there from listeners tagging in the car, much like Quinn. Check out this person, check out that person.

26:02 Oh cool. So it sounds like right now you're contracted for once a month, So do you have an interest in doing more or is that comfortable with all of the other demands on your time. Yeah, I'm interested in doing more, but I'm also happy to do once a month because I do have a lot of other demands on my plate with other auditions or when I when I film. I think I'll be going to Ireland soon to film the second season of something and wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd like to, but right now. I think it is a good amount for me to get started. Yeah. Perfect. How do you how do you time manage with everything you do? Like do you have like are you a spreadsheet type of person? Not?

26:45 Although I am organized, I'm not a spreadsheet guy. Because you said you like organization, I remember, and so organization about it? Organization kink activated? Yes? Yeah? Or next next audio coming up? Organization pink please? Oh my god. I just you know, the way I've always been is this career. And by this career I mean like acting work and art and everything. It's so up in the air all the time, and I find out everything very last minute. So I just kind of take what is thrown at me and I just kind of do it. And I'm so used to this spontaneous lifestyle that I just know what needs to get done.

27:30 And now all of a sudden, I might have this audition. To do, or all of a sudden, I might have this that I need to record, or this happening, or I might have to go fly to do this. I just kind of look at it and just take it one step at a time. Yeah that works for you, So, yeah, regimented schedules is not going to work for what you do. It's because it's not regimented, not at all. It's so fluid, which is so nice. Oh, Like, like I like organization, but I like flexible. It's like like I own my own business and I think about, like I have to be organized to keep on my ducks in a row. But I also like the fact that like I'm gonna give myself tomorrow off or I'm gonna like, you know, you need that flexibility in that organization. Speaking of that, can we just circle back to the organization audio idea? Yeah, Well, because here's what I'm thinking. You know, a lot of women that we talk to love the dom audios. You know, they love DOM And I get that.

28:27 I totally do. Like I'm not super like don't degrade me kind of thing, but women love that. I think that there's a there's a space Smudge loves hard dom. I think that there's a space for like the DOM is about just make me not have to fucking do anything. Organize it for me, like make the dinner plans, you know, take the kids to school. Like that is like for play and sexy that I also think is explored enough of Like that's a whole different kind of dom. Yeah, like the like the caregiver dom. Yeah yeah, yeah, like there's the gentle dom and I love that. I think that's like nurturing and like all that stuff. But take care of my life, doom.

29:10 Yeah, let like, let me handle this for you, and I just want you to sit there and relax. You guys are into that, Yes, I'm into that. Yeah. I saw Kaza like the second you just said that, Juliette, the second you just said, like, let me handle this for you. I saw ka. I saw your shoulders go. They dropped, the they like dropped like. Tenny, my shoulder dropped and my couch tangled. So there's an audio. There's an audio in there. You got the best of both worlds. I heard. I heard the sparkles happening. I heard I heard that. Yeah, are you gonna say you heard the couch tingle? Oh my gosh. But like what she just said, let me handle that in that beautiful voice. I was like, Yep, that's a good idea. I'll make that for you. Kaza.

29:55 Oh yes, that's one of the CAGs. It just says Kaza. Yeah, yes, that's my dob. Yeah, so you've written coming up her fourth so that you've written all of them so far though, so we've had a script writer. Was this kind of your first, like delving into writing or do you write elsewhere as well? No, I've written a short film. I wrote a queer short film years ago during the pandemic. Oh my gosh. Yeah, so glad I just asked this list, let's hear it. Yeah, it was. A cute, kind of a cute young adult romance called top Coat. But other than that, you know, I've I've I used to write a lot when I was in school and read a lot of poetry and and just write for fun, just little things here and there. I've started a few scripts that you know, I would have loved to have made into something. But yeah, this is kind of my monthly writing m Yeah. Yeah, and it's really fun.

31:08 Is it different then from writing like this the type of script I mean from the movie that you wrote the short film to this, Like, is it similar like the script writing or is it really different from ider erotica to that? It's very different. I find it more fun. Yeah, yeah, I find it a lot more fun because it's there's hardly any boundaries, or there's no boundaries that I have a hard time staying within. Yeah, yeah, I feel like it comes quite naturally to me, which is really funny because if you would have told me ten years ago that what comes naturally to you is writing audio erotica, I.

31:51 Like, yeah, yeah. I think, especially considering like the way I grew up and everything, it's just so different then perhaps what like my immigrant parents would have like. Seen for me. But like my mom, my mom finds it so funny and interesting. Oh yeah yeah, and I guess I guess the way people have seen it in my life is just kind of as this uh more edgy, uh more like more edgy, but still relating to the acting work that I do. So everyone in your life knows that this is part of your work. Ah yeah, I mean I think pretty much. I think anyone that follows me on Instagram seasons that maybe some people don't really know what it is because I kind of, you know, I kind of keep it a little miss mysterious.

32:43 That's also just the way I keep everything kind of on my page. I think people. Yeah, I think people know. Some people don't even ask me about it or anything, but like my. Mom knows and mm hmmm, yeah, So, how how were you raised around like gender roles, sexuality, sex, Like what was that like for you growing up? My family is very open, but were also very spiritual. But I think that some people grow up in spiritual households that are like strict religious, whereas I grew up in a spiritual household that was very nurturing and open and about love, which I loved, you know, like gender roles and you know, gendered things like it wasn't really a thing. Like my brother took dance class just like me and my sister did.

33:36 Yea, And yeah, we were we. Were encouraged to explore the arts and hobbies and different things. A school was really strict, like I had to be very good in school, classic immigrant kids. It was. I was very I was very disciplined. I was very disciplined. And I think people who grew up in house that are very disciplined have really interesting relationships to sensuality and sexuality. Also, I don't know. I think that kinks and different things like that can kind of be a response to like different ways you were raised in your childhood.

34:21 I'm not a doctor. This is just like a theory from like. You might play one on TV somebody. Yeah, I might play one on TV one day. But like, this is just a theory of like a random woman like sitting in her like place in Canada. But I think, you know, I did have I did have like a fear of doing the wrong thing or like maybe disappointing my parents. But that was my projection of what I thought they might be disappointed by. But my parents have never been disappointed in me that. I know of, And actually I realized recently like I've kind of just been encouraged all of my life to express myself and become my truest self, even if my parents didn't understand maybe how to nurture it because they had completely different experiences in completely different countries. They wanted me to live my life, and so that's what I'm doing.

35:17 Wow, I wonder if that's another part of which I never considered, another part of having immigrant parents, because it's you know, you always hear like work hard because they, you know, sacrificed a lot to give you this opportunity work hard, but also kind of invites that openness, like you said, where they're just willing to like, yeah, do you as long as it makes you happy, do it well. Don't hurt anyone. Yeah, just just just always be kind and don't hurt anyone and then do you at the same time, Yeah. Fucking fucking rules are life there? Seriously, Like why is that so difficult but to attain? But it is, it is, you know, it is. I got really lucky with my family. I got really lucky.

35:58 Yeah, that's great. It is that Yet, so like Jewels and I both were raised in Like, well, you, Jewels, you went to Castody. Yeah, I went to Catholic school till like my mom now listens to the podcast. Hey mom, you know Siway Days, you know, yeah, oh yeah, I make her listen at everything. But back back in the day, like, yes, I went to Catholic school. I you know, I very religious family growing up, so you know, sex was not talked about. You know. I had to secretly read erotic novels in fifth grade in the library, like the town library, sneaking it to find stuff out. You know. So we taught and you know, Kaza grew up in a religious household too, and we find a lot of times people we talked to i'd say more than half probably Kasa kind of similar to us, kind of repressed.

36:40 And so as we grow up you know, and we're like, oh my god, it's okay to like sex or talk about. It, or yeah, you explore. Things we might like and don't like. It was yeah, never something until you know. I'm thirty nine now and very recent like last twenty months, and is finding the audiootica space and I'm. Like, wow, there's a whole world. Yeah. Yeah, So to that end, like, I guess one question is, I know you're relatively new to the space, but do you have a sense as a creator of how impactful your work is more than just a wlank audio. It's like, how much because we hear all the time from women and us included, like it heals parts of ourselves we didn't know we're broken, and like it's a it's really incredibly powerful.

37:27 Yeah, I just thought shivers. Actually, yeah, I got a really kind I had a really kind message come through where someone was sharing with me. One of my listeners was sharing with me that a recent audio that I posted. When they realized that it was inspired by this other creative work, that a film that's going to come out this summer, it made them connect to it even more and they were just really pleased with that. And and me also being a fan of that specific piece of media that will be coming out this summer. I also understand where they're coming from and why, because that was such a big part of me coming out at the time.

38:12 That I did. So that's why I really enjoy doing this I and why I really enjoy creating anything. I've always wanted to make people feel something and to change people's lives in some way, even if it's a little way, even if it's just for ten minutes. It's it's really about that for me, and I think the more honest I can be when I write and when I create from that place, the better the outcome, and the more it can touch someone in not the literal sense, but the more it can it can move someone as well as touch them. Yes, I'll let them do that, but then it can move them.

38:56 Yeah, it's really stressful. I'm really glad that it affects people, the list Listener is in a big way. It really does. It's like and it's probably easy, like it's easy as a creator, I imagine, because it's just it's so isolated, like you're, you know, doing your recording. Yeah you get comments and that kind of stuff, but to not know the chatter that goes on in these communities, like whether we're in discord servers or patreons, and the stories we hear from women, which was part of the reason why we even started this podcast. I mean, the three of us met in the AE space. Wow. We didn't know each other before. We didn't know each other before this, but we were part of the same discord server of a creator that we all listened to and we just got to talk and we're like about how much the work has impacted us, and we thought we need to talk more about this and like open up this discussion of just how life changing.

39:45 And so we've heard from listeners who tell us that I mean with everything from saving marriages to saving lives. Oh my god, like. Literally literally wow. Yeah, So the work you're doing this industry is really a big deal. Oh that makes me so happy to hear and I'm so happy that you all are coming across those those kind of stories. Oh, that's awesome. I Mean, we've talked to women who have you know, they never had the I don't want to say courage, but you know, like they've been with their partner for so long and that the AE space has given them the courage to approach them saying I want to try this, or even things that they never would ever say out loud.

40:30 It's giving them that confidence to say, you know what, I deserve this. So I'm going to see if my partner if I can communicate with them. So even just communication. Yeah, and Jules discovered her daddy can't conspect me. I didn't been Mystmand's like, oh, I know my husband for twenty years and so yeah, so that was super new to me, and I got the confidence to bring it up. And it's something we both really enjoy. Now. I'm so happy to hear that, Julius. It is It's so true. I mean and even like like I've done this with my wife where like I'll hear an audio that I really like and I'll be like, I want you to listen to this. So if I can't communicate something, I could be like listen to this audio and she's like, okay, I get it.

41:13 I get that. So it's it's a it's a powerful tool. She's like, oh organization, all right. Gosh, I mean I married Virgo come on, yeah, right, spread cheek. Hey, what is that? What does everyone sign? I want to know I'm Taurus. I'm a cusp Aries, so my birthday was on the twenty second. I'm just not a piscey. So I'm a cusp Aries. Okay, and what did you I'm an Aquarius. I know little bits. So what's like a quintessential trade of an Aquarius? An Aquarius? Oh my god? They say we're like the little creative aliens. Of the zodiac.

41:53 Okay, I'm really into like people, humanity and like creation and okay, I don't know a little space alien things. I guess that's what they say. Would you say that tracks? Yeah? I think so yeah, Like from this conversation like that, Yeah, yeah, I think so yeah. I get the stubbornness of the tourists for sure. I love Toorian's good signs. I don't know too much about Like aries is a fire sign? I think right, a fire sign? Yes it is? It is? Yeah, Because I'm like everyone's always like, oh, you've got both traits.

42:34 Okay, I've just been told I have a lot of fire in my chart, which is why I need to be near water. Like my soul exhales when I get near water. Oh, like, I couldn't. Be in a landlocked state like I've always lived on coast. On the coast, that's true. Yeah, and that's why when when I when Melissa and I were getting married, we're like, oh, we want to be by the ocean, and you know, then that was really expensive. And so then it went to a lake, and then it went to a pond, and. It went to a puddle. We were married by a beautiful stream. No it was a it was a baby pond, but it was a pond. But yeah, same thing like fire and my sign that I'm like, get me in your water. Love that. Yeah, I got to learn more about it. Well on Quinn, I think was it is it? I think it's NAUGHTYO who did a whole like Celestial series.

43:22 Oh cool. So like I listened to Taurus and he's funny as fuck. Man, Oh my god, he's so funny in these which is why I liked them. I mean they were spicy and sexy in parts too, but his humor and then yeah, I went right. I just went right for Taurus and I'm like, oh, yeah. Yeah, they're they're worth checking out. They're really good. The aries one, like that's the only one I listened to. It's so good, and yeah, his humor is so fucking funny. Yeah, check out your sign, check out your aquarius naughty aquarius. Yeah cool. So how do you because you have so much that you do, right, So how do you like unwind and relax? What you kind of go to chill out? Oh my god, recently it's been cleaning. You're killing me.

44:02 So much. Can I just tell you? She has written two books on declutter, Like, yes, you've written two books on books? Sorry, I have that. She doesn't pipe herself up, so I no, you. Don't even understand how into decluttering I am right now. Oh my god, I got this. I got this. Oh my god, I'm super in love with what are they called lazy Susan's. Oh yeah, I put. One under my bathroom my bathroom sink. And just the way I can get to the products, it's just so easy, okay, and getting rid of the stuff that's just I'm not using it, Like, oh.

44:46 My god, I I can tell just by how you just described that, like you get because the work, the work I do is like it's deeper than like I'm not an organizer. I am like I call myself like the clutter whisperer. So it's like, I tell you what store raise. Your clutter is trying to tell you, And like what the message is depending on where it accumulates in your life or the type. So it's like if it's in your kitchen and your bedroom, that kind of stuff. But like what you just said with the Lazy Susan thing, right, your whole body exhaled when you talked about the ease that the Lazy Susan brought into your life. It's because it's not about the stuff, Like you just had a spiritual moment in the ease with which you could access things.

45:29 That's exactly it. Like it really is that deep. I needed to be able to have access. Yes, you deserve ease and access. So I tell people when they have a lot of clutter, I call it a temper tantrum of the soul. I'm gonna cry right now. When you said when you said. You deserve access, that actually unlocked like such deep shit and like like like trauma, like even like industry trauma, like trauma, and like. It just goes so deep. So that Lazy Susan was really like the vaccine I needed.

46:09 Yes, this is what I mean. It's like it's not about the stuff. It's never about the stuff. It's the symptom. It's never the source. So yeah, okay, anyway, anyways, back to you. Is so fun. By the way, I love this conversation we do. You're so chill. I love like all the places it goes. So with you being an actor, I have to say that Jewels is like an unbelievable film buff. She taught film studies for several years. So what would so Jewels, I guess for you, Like, what's like? I know earlier you mentioned that you were in a horror film. You were right, because that's Jewles Lane, So what's that tell us about that film?

46:54 Oh my god? Yeah, I was in this movie called Sands. I've been in a few horror movies. The first movie I ever did was a movie called Tales from the Hood three, which tails from Tales from the Hood is a cult classic from. The nineties, of course, a Spike lead. Classic, like black, like like on the nose, like horror cam. You know what I'm saying. Yes, so I was in the third the three. I'm still getting residuals for that. Funnily enough, it's like the only thing I get residuals from because I guess extremes on TV somewhere. Yes, but uh yeah, I was in that one.

47:36 And then I was in this. Private school girl slasher called Seance. That's the one I did with Suki Waterhouse and I played this like gay cool girl a few words named ras uh that. You know, we all end up basically dying in that movie. Again, that's a Simon Barrett film who He's also a really great horror horror film creator. I really really love that guy. What else was I in? Horror wise? I've done some spooky stuff like Devil in Ohio for Netflix, but it was like light Netflix spook. Yeah, what's your favorite scary movie?

48:17 Mine? Yeah, uh, I would say probably one of my favorites. It's a common fave of people, probably like Hereditary. Oh. I think it's a really well done horror film. It is so freaking what well done. It's like I feel I always feel pretentious when I say elevated horror. I feel so pretentious when I say that. But it's like elevated horror. It's like, so what do you mean? Like so it's okay, So like how do I explain it? It's it's deeper than just killings, Like it has deeper meaning to it. Like there's a movie called The Babba Duke that's really that's so have you seen that? Of course? It's so amazing. But the underlying like theme is about motherhood and grief. So it has like underlying, like real themes. Yeah, they don't jet Oh my god, I'm getting so excited about films right now.

49:07 Jesus, I saw you saw me get excited about declutteration. But so yeah, so it's like deeper than just like, oh, I'm just gonna slash a few girls and call it a film. Yeah, Hereditary is one of them. It's it's more like deeper themes like family. Is it slasher too? Though, Like I'm not a big slash. I mean I did The Friday the thirteenths and stuff, and but I need story. Yeah no, it's stortory, Okay, story. Yeah, I still you still might have to wait till I come visit you to watch it. Okay, we can have a spooky scary night with it. Okay, you need miss and you Yeah, can. We all cuddle on the couch? Yes, it's okay. Good anyway, So you've likely been interviewed quite a bit with acting and whatnot, so I'm always curious like with thinking back to all the times that you've been interviewed or spoken to, what's the question that you wish people would ask you that they don't.

50:02 I guess I really like when you know, people ask me fun even fun little things like what's your favorite horror movie? Because I feel like you can really get to know someone through them answering questions like that and through that triggering more questions. But sometimes, you know, pr and interviews and stuff are just very focused on what the project is. Of course, that makes sense to me why sometimes they wouldn't ask things like that. Yeah. Yeah, That's something I think I love about this space is that when we talk to creators, like at least for us, like we're getting we want to know the person and we want to help our listeners know the person behind the voice. So yeah, I mean we want to know like how did you get into the AE space and all of that. But like, I just think that again, as a primarily female audience, we connect with people through knowing them and not just me. I'm just a voice. A British guy can say anything and Jews will be like, she doesn't need any depth there, just like say dolling God.

51:09 That's it right there. We have some fun quick fire style questions we would like to ask you. Yes, all right, so the first one dance acting or voice? Oh bam, see under one second? Look at that perfect. Early morning recording or late night recording. Early morning recording, silence or music when you're creating. Silence perfection or spontaneity perfection. I thought you're gonna say, spotana. Okay, rehearsed or completely improvised.

51:54 Improv control or surrender. Surrender's ideal, but I struggle with haunting control. Same girl. The word surrender itself is just such a sexy word. It's such a sexy word. All right. Chase or be chased? Be chased? Yeah, predictable or unpredictable. Unpredictable, the safe choice or the risky choice, risky? Correct? Yes, think first, think first. Or act first?

52:34 Think first. You are a complicated being. I love this bike reck is like all right, okay, fascinating. Sorry, but like my coach brain is like dissecting. I can love it. I can see you're like that meme Kaza, you know that meme that like it? It like slow mos in on the person and they have all the math equations in front of their face, like trying to figure stuff out of you right now? Have you taken improv classes when you mentioned improv or is it just the natural part of who you are? I love improv. Improv was kind of how I started loving acting. I did improv in high school and it was the most fun.

53:15 Extracurricular activity ever. And it was the. Worst grade that I got. And that worst grade was like a B plus. And I went to that teacher and I was like, this is just like an extra class. Why is it like worse than all my other classes? And she was like, because you need to let go more. You need to be You need to be not afraid to be silly or to like make like an ugly face, or to be a creature. She's like, I need you to let go. And that taught me so much in my life because I needed that a for my immigrant parents to be happy. I love it. So I was like, fine, I'll let go and I loved that.

53:56 Yeah, improv is my gym. I love improv. Wow, And you'll never forget that feedback, like, what's one of your favorite improv games? I have been loving when I watch Instagram reels and then the worst in the world challenge comes up. Have you guys ever seen that? No, we'll be like the worst mortician in the world, and it's like an improv group and then they all have to step forward and like act out for like five seconds what that person would be, or like have a funny little thing and it's hilarious. Oh my, that sounds so fun. Yeah, I want to do that. I think that would be my favorite one to do if I've ever had the opportunity. Just like a given a character and say go and like like a crazy character. Yeah, like worst doctor in the world go, And then everyone has to act out what that would be.

54:41 That's so fun, like like summation, and it's kind of cringey, like some for example, the worst doctor in the World. Someone came like went into the middle and was like, Okay, that's the. End of the surgery. Where are my keys? Like it's just stupid. I love cringe. I love anything cringe. Yeah, my god. So the kind of like wrap up question that we ask everyone is how would you define sexual freedom? Oh? I think sexual freedom really comes most importantly after self acceptance and self love, because then you have the ability to be fully let go and and have the full release judgment of yourself.

55:32 That's good. It gets deep. I think, Yeah. I love it. I love that you got to know by now I already I love Deep. Yeah, that's so good. It's so true. Though, you have to have self acceptance. You're right, because I ever said that before? Have they? I know? That's why we've talked to a lot of people. I don't think anyone's ever said that. And the great answers, but that just that just unlocked, like your lazy suit, that was my lazy suitsan moment. I am so glad because a lot of people yuck their own yams like Deep. Yes, there's a lot of subconscious yucking of your own yum. You gotta drop that to have true sexual freedom. Yes, damn yeah.

56:14 So what what projects are coming out for you soon? I have a second season of a show called Irish Blood that I'll be filming seen in Ireland. And what's that about? What's the show about? Uh? It is with Alicia Silverstone and it is kind of like a mystery. Who done it? Irish mystery? So there's a lot of accents in it. Oh yes, okay, good good. And I have a movie coming out called By with four ease about real woman. Yeah, about this. Woman who goes into the woods to trigger warning, trigger warning, suicide stuff. She goes into the wood it's to consider how she should off herself after being canceled for her beauty company. Uh, it's a comedy.

57:10 It's a dark, okay comedy. We filmed it in the woods. It was really really. Fun and so that's in the festival circuit right now. Streamer. I also just had a rom com called thirty one Candles come to Apple TV as a as a streamer. Oh really, that's a really good one. Candle. It's cute. It's a it's a Jewish Christmas movie, which is a funny comedy. I think I heard somewher online. Was it When was it that you had a couple of projects at south By Southwest.
