In this inspiring and deeply personal episode, host Rinnie Orr welcomes the multitalented April Storm Perry—comedian, actress, makeup artist, fitness enthusiast, and wellness advocate. April opens up about her journey from a young girl in Brooklyn to a multifaceted creative force. From early self-esteem challenges to finding purpose through performance and self-care, April’s story is as empowering as it is entertaining.

Listeners will hear about her professional beginnings at MAC Cosmetics and the New York City Ballet, her surprising pivot into acting and comedy, and how she now channels those experiences into her latest project: HEAL—Harmoniously Evolving, Authentically Living. Launching this September, HEAL is a self-care initiative offering workshops, products, and personalized support aimed at helping women reconnect with themselves.

April reminds us that healing isn’t linear, self-care is not a luxury, and that authenticity is its own kind of freedom.

• The unexpected leap into acting and stand-up comedy
• What "healing" really looks like—messy, empowering, and deeply personal
