All About The Joy  my livestreaming and podcast – isn’t just one show – it’s a whole neighborhood of four distinct spaces. Weekly I share our show Culture & Consequence on Substack – but every now and then it feels right to open the door to The Private Lounge – this is where we do fun & informative interviews of people in the neighborhood. If you need a breather from the political churn, this is the quieter corner where we slow down, talk to neighbors about their lives, joys, concerns and love – it’s a reset before heading back out into the world. Enjoy!

Today Actor Kelly Quinn joins me in The Private Lounge for a candid, grounded, and surprisingly funny conversation about the real work behind building a life in acting. We talk about craft, courage, the move from Los Angeles to Chicago, and what it actually takes to find your footing in an industry that rarely makes space for you.

Kelly opens up about discovering acting later in life, navigating auditions in a new market, creating her own opportunities, and learning to trust her instincts as an artist. We also get into the unglamorous truth of film sets, the emotional stamina required to keep going, and the moments of connection that make the work worth it.

If you’re an actor, a creative, or someone who loves hearing the truth behind the process, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Come hang with us.
