Odd Woman Out provides a space where women in the arts can reclaim their narratives and have fun while doing so! Hosted by Samantha Dawn Tuozzolo â affectionately known as âTutzââ the show shines a light on the subtle and not-so-subtle ways women have been made to feel âotheredâ when being their odd selves. Whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in their everyday creative lives. Through honest conversations and unfiltered storytelling, Tutz and her guests open up about insecurities, resilience, and the power of showing up as their full selves.
Each episode dismantles the pressures of appearance, judgment, and comparison that too often overshadow womenâs achievements. From self-doubt to self-love, these discussions go beyond surface-level success to reveal the courage, creativity, and community that thrive when women support one another.
Odd Woman Out is for embracing our odd and loving ourselves while doing so. Itâs for women who know the struggle of standing in spaces not built for them and for those ready to rewrite the rules. If this podcast helps even one woman feel seen, validated, and a little more in love with herself â itâs doing exactly what it was created to do!
