My story: “Into the Light”  taped during a live Moth StorySLAM show at Oberon in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Airing on more than 500 radio stations, with over 1M listeners, The Moth Radio Hour features beloved stories from live shows around the world. Now available online and in the Moth Podcast  

My story, “Into the Light,” is based on the story I published in the anthology, “The Moment,” edited by Larry Smith of Six Word Memoir fame. It’s about the moment I knew my marriage was over. Many of my stories, plays and films focus on how other people’s vision of us affects the version of ourselves that we see and feel to be.
