Description

Amanda Catarzi is an energetic thriver. Raised by circus parents who joined a cult, Amanda and her brother were severely sheltered from outside influence. Where most humans would wallow or crumble, Catarzi survived and chose to thrive. Hear about what it means to trade your body so you can eat, what religion means to her now and how a canadian in a cadillac accidentally knocked sense into her. She openly shares her childhood of being raised by performers who joined a strict cult, how she left and why the act of being in a grocery store alone for the first time was too much too handle. Catarzi was sex and labor trafficked as a young adult, she went on to work undercover for government agencies and even assisted in writing federal legislation. Her current work is running a content and strategy agency. www.Inkeryco.comInstagram: Amanda Catarzi

Lisa David Olson has two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on how humor saved her life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments.
