Carolyn Brady - That Baby Can Make a Sandwich; Normalization, Acceptance, & Change

What happens when the people behind the art finally get the space to be seen, heard, and supported? In this episode, Adam Hill and Emily Goldberg sit down with music director, musician, and vocal coach Carolyn Brady for a raw, urgent conversation about authenticity, identity, and acceptance in the performing arts. Carolyn opens up about the delicate balance of motherhood and a thriving creative career, her mission to build truly supportive artistic spaces, and why we must start advocating for artists as whole people. Together, they dig deep into the heavy stuff: the pressures of the audition room, navigating changing voices and bodies, and the recent Non-Equity Jeff Awards controversy. It is a candid look at the absolute necessity of accountability, transparency, and safety in the industry. This podcast contains occasional strong language and candid conversations. While one of our co-hosts is a licensed psychotherapist, this is not a substitute for professional mental health care.
