In this episode, I have invited another Seattleite and well-known, prolific actor, Mr. Eric Wu. He is known for his work in American Immersive Theater as well as some stage productions. After a bit of prodding, I managed to help him unpack his own suitcase. This interview gave me some profound insight on what it's like to be an actor around the Pacific Northwest and in the time of COVID, as well as an ABC child (American-born Chinese).

Please follow him on Instagram @ericwu0617 and check out the video of Friends Across the Wires featuring him! Please note that the camp referenced in this episode is ironically named Camp Harmony.

So sit back, grab a beer, and enjoy! Let's go!

Season 2! I'm back, bitches!! This season, I am inviting guests to come into my suitcase, or rather to unpack their own suitcases onto the microphone.

My first guest this season is one of my best friends and part of my ride or die group, Miss Sarah Wirtz, a Seattleite living in Boston. I came into this interview with little expectation of what we would talk about. Well, listener, I learned something new from this here conversation. I learned the importance of loving self-respect and unapologetic authenticity, and how even a simple phone call brings meaning to "tend and befriend".

Grab a cup of coffee or tea, enjoy this conversation and stay until the end for a little surprise!

In this episode, Cindy relates to you her overall love-hate relationship, mostly hate, with money (aka the Almighty Dollar), why she has found it hard to make and keep the money she deserves to obtain, and how she has finally reframed her perspective on the Almighty Dollar. Over time, it was a toxic relationship based on her overall limiting belief -- "I have to work hard to get money". Spoiler alert: A bunch of falderal. Find out why.

In this episode, Cindy works to process her terrible bout of imposter syndrome. The questions she asks herself:

What am I doing in this production?

Am I supposed to be in this play that won laughs and awards?

Am I good or worthy enough to win over the audience?

What am I bringing to the table, or should I say, to the stage?

So brace yourself, grab a paper bag and a cup of tea, and here we go!
