In this episode, we cover a huge array of topics of course including her road to Broadway, but how she maintains her mental health with lots of meditation, overcoming bullying, working through anxiety, how she brings her own take to Gretchen Weiners, working with Casey Nicholaw and Tina Fey, and so much more.
