We’re so excited to share today’s super fun interview with our friend, Heather Graham. Heather has been a successful actor for many years, and she has now written, directed, and starred in a new film, Half Magic.
Half Magic will be released in a few short days, on February 23rd, 2018, in a select number of cities as well as streaming online. It follows the story of a group of women who get together, make wishes, and do spells, and it’s based on the real-life group of women (including Kate!) that Heather was a part of while living in New York.
This fun, inspiring movie is about women’s sexual empowerment, creating the life you desire, and standing up for yourself. In this episode, Heather shares her experiences with raising funds for the film, why this message is timely right now, what it’s like being a woman in Hollywood, and much more.
