Cynthia Erivo — Wicked, Wild & Wise — is here!!!

We Can Do Hard Things

At last, the brilliant force of nature, Cynthia Erivo, joins us for a deeply personal, mind-blowing, and heart-swelling conversation about dignity and belonging. We discuss: 

- How to survive betrayal and learn to fully trust again; 

- How to build a circle of people who will always get on the broom with you; 

- How Cynthia chooses and prepares for roles like Elphaba—and why she doesn’t believe in method acting; and

- How to find light, joy, and creativity in our darkest moments. 

Hold onto your witch hats, Pod Squad. This conversation is a ride—and an offering. Enjoy.
