Our guest on this episode is Carrie Madsen, a true triple threat, nay, multi-threat. While Carrie was a long-time performer growing up in theater in her youth, she scaled back for a while in adulthood. But when she returned to performing, she leapt with gusto and single-mindedness that it jump-started her career, taking her from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. Besides having an old fashioned gab about a lot of different stuff, Carrie talked about what it’s like to build a career as a mature woman.

We had so much to chat about in our interview, that I discovered I had enough material for three episodes! This is the first installment. In this episode Carrie’s talks to me about life and performing before she moved to Lotus Land. So, sit back and enjoy! Check out the goodies below, referenced in the episode:
