Go Deeper

If this one hit home, that's the kind of conversation we go deeper on.

Doing the Work is a weekly Patreon segment where I share what I'm actually working through — the same kind of stuff Helen Slater and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Helen Slater (Supergirl, The Legend of Billie Jean) joins us this week to talk about her experience being thrust into the iconic role of Supergirl at 18 years old and the many different pressures and difficulties that came along with it. Helen was so open this week - she gets candid about her desire to act and the deep fulfillment that she receives in studying mythology. We also talk about her deep bond with Helen Hunt, the hurdle she had to cross to get her parents’ acceptance for acting, and memories of iconic scenes while appearing in Smallville.
