Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

Join Lisa as she speaks with Broadway performer Tessa Grady about gratitude,discovering the simple joys,  FOMO in the Broadway profession, leading with your heart and practicing asking for what you want without feeling guilty.

"I had to start putting words to the space my heart was feeling."

"I started realizing that I didn't want to be my career."

"I was playing the role of me."

Tessa Grady made her Broadway debut at 19 years old. She has appeared in numerous Broadway and off-Broadway productions since including  Dames At Sea, Cinderella and Annie and Clueless the Musical.  She appeared on TV in “Fosse/Verdon”, “The King of Queens”, and studio singing work in “The Santa Clause 3”, “Fred Claus”, and the Disney Princess CD series.

At the peak of the pandemic-crazy summer, Tessa watched her acting community struggle to feel safe and financially stable as, one by one, they joined the 20% of Manhattan that was moving out of the city. As a response, she co-founded "Move On", a minimalist moving company. The purpose for clientele was to encourage focused intentions, downsize clutter to only the items serving that intention, and then transport them to their new locations with an energy-clean slate. While the business picked up rapidly and began easing the stress of many affected by the pandemic, Move On found its underlying purpose: a crew made up entirely of unemployed actors supplementing their income.
