87. From Stage to Page: Ali Gordon on Creativity Beyond the Spotlight
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What kind of courage it takes to keep creating when your career takes unexpected turns? Our guest Ali Gordon has worn a lot of hats—musical theatre performer, comedian, teacher, and now, debut novelist! In this inspiring conversation, Ali joins Chelsea and Cynthia to talk all about just that. Her novel, "We Have Reached the End of Our Show" is out on September 30th, get it here.
You’ll hear us talk about:
- How Ali went from BFA musical theatre grad to published author (and why she always knew she’d write a book).
- The surprising parallels between acting and publishing—risk-taking, rejection, and resilience.
- Why she kept her novel a “secret treehouse project” for so long (and what artists can learn from protecting their work).
- The value of improv training and how it made her braver in auditions and in life.
- What it means to carry endings—of jobs, relationships, even entire seasons of life—and still keep creating.
Whether you’re between gigs, dreaming up your next project, or just in need of a reminder that creativity takes many forms, this episode will leave you feeling both grounded and inspired.
