🐾 We’re nearing the end of Season 1! This solo episode is an unscripted chat about life, creativity, and what’s next. I’m reflecting on hitting 20 episodes, the behind-the-scenes work of running a podcast, and why I chose to host Tails and Tassels as Gemma Smith instead of my burlesque name, Gemma Stone. Plus, I’m sharing updates on my work in animal welfare, upcoming performances, and a reminder to submit your listener questions before the season wraps!

📢 Don’t forget: Next week’s guest is the incredible photographer and videographer El Jong, followed by a special listener Q&A episode to close out the season.
