Rachel True | Strong Female Leads
Rachel True (The Craft, Half & Half) is a brilliant actress who imbues her roles with humor and realism, and she's also an incredible author. Her book, True Heart Intuitive Tarot, is a beautiful look at the practice of tarot as well as her own life, and she weaves the two together in a way that makes the book difficult to put down. In this dream of an episode, Rachel breaks down the practical ways you can use tarot, puts a theory about The Craft to bed, and shares some perfect film recommendations, so listen up!

Alexandra Holden | Strong Female Leads
Everything Alexandra Holden is in, she elevates. A comedic delight who is responsible for some iconic characters in my favorite things (Friends, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Rizzoli & Isles), and who is now creating her own sketch comedy on Instagram as half of Out of Luck Show. I loved getting new insight into the dark humor behind her projects as well as discussing the unifying hotness of Bruce Willis.

Jamie Gray Hyder | Strong Female Leads
Jamie Gray Hyder (Law & Order: SVU, COD: Infinite Warfare) took my favorite thing in the world and made it even better when she joined Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. This conversation was a delight, ranging from the direction of the newest season of SVU, to the childhood playtime vibes of portraying a video game character, to the thoughtful ways Jamie engages with social media. She is such a bright light and so funny - enjoy!
