Toledo has been a presence in the LA performance scene since the 90s with his unique and singular show. He's also a long-time friend of mine and a major artistic influence in my life. He regales us with tales, juxtaposing speedballs in gas station bathrooms to working on major motion pictures. We talk about his relationship with fear, control, sobriety, and the influence the joys and sorrows of his life have on his work.

Lily Cowles (actor, filmmaker, and my writing partner) and I discuss her shadow-integration experiences both while voicing Zendara in Immortals of Aveum, and in reinbahiting her long-empty childhood home. We also talk tending your internal creative soil, facing the discomfort of growth and embracing the strength and anger of the beast within.

Welcome to The Ache, a podcast exploring a deep longing for something more— more truth, more expression, more authenticity. In this first episode, I reflect on my own transformation—from growing up in a religious environment to embracing the parts of myself I was taught to fear. This episode is a meditation on faith, desire, sexuality, anger, and the ways we reclaim what was once hidden.
