19Stories is about women and men working in various creative endeavors. I've interviewed some of the most stellar talent in voiceover, music and broadcasting as well as authors, speakers and coaches. We have intriguing conversations about the successes, challenges, and fears they've faced and what they did to press-through to a future filled with joy and hope. Oh, and we laugh...a lot!

Today's guest has made it her life's work to change that. Before she ever stepped behind a microphone, Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson spent nearly twenty years in higher education leadership. With a doctorate in…

As the opening of my podcast informs you, I do not live in Minneapolis, but across the country in Sonoma County, CA. I've been thinking a lot about voices lately. Not the loud ones.

The voice that says, "You're not alone."…

In this podcast, I talk with artists, actors, musicians, writers, coaches, and creative pioneers as they share personal, powerful, and often humorous stories of facing adversity and the wisdom they gleaned in the process. I started this podcast back in 2020 as a way to connect with fellow creatives during a time of fear and uncertainty. Five years later, I'm still sharing stories of creativity,…
It's not often that I'll get to introduce a guest whose moniker is "banana-brained and voice-trained"! But joining me today is a woman who is the embodiment of quirkiness, versatility, and her own words "a bit unhinged". From clown noses to stage and to your favorite streaming platforms, Jo Yuan has covered a lot of ground...and that's saying something given she's been in the entertainment…
If you're tuning in for the first time, welcome, and to my longtime listeners, you know that throughout the years you've heard me interview some of the most iconic voices behind your favorite commercials, video games, documentaries, etc...
