Academy Award-winning producer and Prim founder Stefanie Walmsley gets extremely raw and real about performing under pressure, impostor syndrome, and the impossible juggling act mothers do -- perfect for International Women's Day.




A trained professional actress since the age of 7, she tells each story with signature theatrical flair, punctuated by charming self-deprecation and winking shout-outs to the audience. (This is a one-woman play waiting to happen.)




Be prepared to laugh, cry, or cry with laughter as she shares how she learned to fight (literal) fires on film sets, bootstrapped her clean beauty business with $3000 and lots of pluck, and found renewed purpose amid the pandemic and via philanthropy.




Most notably, she speaks very honestly and empathetically about the struggles of motherhood, destigmatizing mental health challenges, and learning to prioritize herself in order to better show up for all the roles in her life.




This is dedicated to all the moms and women out there, or to anyone grappling with how to balance caring for themselves and others. May her words be a salve to your spirits, as they were to ours.
