Episode 110: "You're Penny-less, What Now?" with Penny Orloff

In this episode, Penny Orloff and I will discuss her life journey as a performing artist who at a young age had been told that if she followed her dreams, she would be alone and penniless. At the age of 60 she found herself homeless and living on her friend’s couch when she was asked a pivotal question… What’s wrong with money? Penny now has a portfolio worth over 7 figures!   Penny Orloff is a professional Life Coach and Fairy Godmother. A Tarot reader for over 50 years, Penny has used the cards in her counseling practice for decades. For ten years she was the Art Therapist at a residential drug and alcohol rehab facility in Malibu. She is the author of "Art as Lifework, Life as Artwork," a creativity seminar and workbook that has been offered nation-wide since 1991; and is currently at work on her new book, "Who Would You Be If You Had Nothing to Bitch About?" Her personal development system, "Wishful Thinking," synthesizes the human proclivity for magic and symbol with practical steps to the manifestation of your highest good and greatest happiness. Penny was a working actor and dancer in Los Angeles when a Juilliard scholarship took her to New York. She sang more than 20 Principal Soprano roles for New York City Opera, and played featured roles on Broadway under such directors as Harold Prince and Joseph Papp. Theater, concert, and opera engagements took her all over the US, Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Her first solo show, “JEWISH THIGHS ON BROADWAY" (based on her best-selling novel of the same name, available at Amazon.com), toured the US for a decade, including a successful run off-Broadway in 2005. She is currently touring in her latest show, “SONGS AND STORIES FROM A NOT-QUITE-KOSHER LIFE.” She is a regular contributor of stories to the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books and has worked for more than a decade as an arts journalist for various online and print outlets. Having outlived most of her early competition for film roles, since 2011 she has enjoyed acting in a range of interesting shorts, Indie, and feature films - silver-white hair and a Botox-free face being in short supply in LA.       I am your host, Marci Nettles.
