In this episode, Wendy and her guest, Carrie Madsen, dive into the power of betting on yourself and reigniting passions that may have been set aside. Carrie shares insights on the courage it takes to step back into your dreams, the freedom found in embracing playfulness, and the ways we can resist perfectionism to fully express ourselves. They discuss how facing fear—rather than pushing it down—can reveal powerful truths, and how reconnecting with what lights us up can bring us closer to our most authentic selves. Whether you’re looking to rekindle an old passion or find new courage to follow your path, this conversation offers inspiration to say “yes!” to the journey and bring a bit of your “heaven to earth.”

About Carrie:
Carrie Madsen is a performing artist who lives in Los Angeles where she moved to from Northern California over 10 years ago to take Hollywood by storm…at 40! *crickets*

Her first love is musical theatre and she has appeared in over 100 musicals and choreographed over 150.

She has appeared professionally on stage and on TV playing recurring guest characters on well known shows like Jane the Virgin, Gilmore Girls, Good Girls Revolt and James Corden’s The Late Late Show.

She still loves to perform and regularly works as a voice dubbing artist for Netflix foreign programming however something else is begging her to be born.

Carrie is returning to her creative roots to bring dance to adults through a vehicle she calls 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲!™️. It’s for people to have as much joy and fun as possible learning a dance number with a theme and character emphasis. It incorporates staging, not just steps, so this creates a bond among the participants. They play together to bring the number— a story— to life. It’s like getting the opportunity to be in a musical or a dance scene in a movie 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅. That’s the magic sauce- this is for all levels with no pressure. Carrie has this ability to host a creative space where Broadway performers dance alongside computer programmers and it works! Her superpower is making it possible for EVERYbody to dance, have fun, and feel included.
