EPISODE 6: BETTY SHAMIEH- award winning screenwriter
“That is the big, big struggle; how to be ambitious and not kill yourself.” - Betty Shamieh
On this episode of Real Talk, I have the privilege of having a transparent, vulnerable conversation with Betty Shamieh, an award-winning screenwriter!
I’ve known Betty for many decades, having grown up in the same community, and have loved following her journey from childhood friend to a prominent screenwriter with several Off-Broadway premieres!
We discuss the role of cultural messages in our Real Talk and how women, on a universal level, often still face challenging narratives about how their worth is tied to specific things, like their physical attractiveness, if they’re married or not, and if they have children. Betty has unique insight on these topics from navigating through them herself, and I’m excited for your takeaways from this episode!
P.S. - stay till the end and receive a special gift, as a thank you for listening!
