We Did It Jo!

About this episode

Ashlee shares her experiences after playing Jo March in Little Women, discussing auditions, personal struggles, and the balance of life and performance.

Hello and welcome back to Nevertheless, Shlee Persisted! After three months in Virginia playing Jo March in Little Women, I’m finally back in New York… briefly. In this episode, we’re doing a full life catch-up: auditioning for a literal dream role right before my wedding, navigating imposter syndrome in rehearsals, surviving the vocal Olympics that is Jo March, hotel living, body image struggles, period costumes (literally), and the emotional whirlwind of balancing performance, marriage, friendships, and burnout all at once. It’s a vulnerable one, a theatre-heavy one, and honestly just a long overdue catch-up between friends. Thanks for being here. xoxo
