The Creative Happy Life Podcast Episode 9 :: Act Well Your Part with Meg O'Brien

Episode 9 of the Creative, Happy Life Podcast is part two of my conversation with guest, Meg O’Brien, the Director of Education at the Huntington Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts.

You can listen to part one here, where we talk about theater education and more.

In this episode, Meg shares her journey of falling in love with dance and theater, to getting her BFA at UConn, and personal experiences of love and loss along the way. She was also the first person to answer my “wrap up” questions at the end, and trust me when I say, you’re going to want to listen to every word she says. There are just so much good, inspiring, uplifting, and important things that she shares.

This episode brings up cancer, death, and spirituality, which may be a sensitive topic to some, but I hope by listening, Meg’s journey inspires you to think in new ways, find what makes you happy, and live a beautiful life.

I hope you will join me in the Creative Happy Life Community on Facebook after you’ve listened so we can keep the conversation going, ask questions, get inspired, and connect with other creative minds!

Show Notes

Episode 09

Act well your part; there all the honor lies. - Alexander Pope

Meg O’Brien is back for part two, episode 9, and she is telling her story, her journey as an artist and supporter of the arts.

To be honest, calling her a “supporter” of the arts just pales in comparison to her heart and passion for art and artists. I sat with chills on my arms, often out of breath because I was holding my breath, hanging on her every word.

I hope you enjoy this one, and if you haven’t listened to part one yet, you can listen to it here!
