A Fresh Story, season 5, episode 7
We had the honor of talking to actress, artist, podcaster, and all around cool girl Rebecca Lee! We talked to Rebecca about her divorce, finding her way back to her career post-divorce, how we can tap into our confidence, and how she ditched the narratives in her life and found her own journey. Rebecca is brilliant, creative, funny, and one of our favorite cool girls - she is generous and kind and always looks like she’s about to walk onto the stage.
