This episode I speak to the multitalented Clare O'Malley, Irish actor, singer and songwriter who has worked transatlantically for most of her career. After decades of bringing other people's work to life, Clare is writing her own material now.

Dive into this pocket of joy as we discuss her career off-Broadway, having confidence and courage in the performance industry, songwriting, creative expression and my own dreams of the stage!
