About this listen

When Uzo Aduba was offered the role that made her a household name, she had just decided to quit acting. In this heartfelt and candid conversation, Uzo sits down with Jessica to talk about that pivotal day, how she’s navigated the space between roles, and what continues to guide her as an artist and person.

Now starring as the brilliantly sharp Cordelia Cupp in The Residence on Netflix, Uzo reflects on the creative risks she’s taken, the moments that defined her path, and why asking for help — personally and professionally — has been one of her most powerful tools.

They explore how to stay open to the unexpected, what it means to evolve in your work, and how to find clarity when the next step isn’t clear. This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads or craving deeper fulfillment in their life and work.
