Hello Backstory fans!  Grab a seat and listen in: this episode wraps up our Resilient series with raw, real stories that somehow turn fear into hope. We chat about the upcoming show, behind-the-scenes writing challenges.

We also have a powerful conversation with our guest, Donna Mills about her daughter’s fight with leukemia — it’s heartbreaking and inspiring all at once.

Tickets are on Eventbrite for the December performances of the Resilience shows, and we also sneak in a fun Rocky Horror anniversary chat — so if you want to feel moved and connected, this one’s for you.
