I have to get bored first and then I get your host, Katie Delbout.

If you're new to the podcast, I have been doing this forever, or since 2013, pre-serial, before there were a lot of podcasts.

And it used to be a super wellness focused podcast.

And now I talk about wellness because it's something that interests me.

But I also talk to people who maybe wellness isn't their priority,

but I talk about how self-care and wellness help them.

And really, I just talk to fascinating, creative people like today's guest, Emily Kenny. I loved getting to meet her when she was here in New York, promoting

her brand new album, Oh Jonathan, which is amazing and out now. She's great. We talk about moving

from a small town. She, like me, is from the Midwest. We talk about moving from a small town. She like me is from the Midwest. We talk

about family and relationships, music, her songwriting practice. We talk about creativity, breakups.

We talk about writing in general. And she has this great part of this conversation where she

talks about boredom being something that we need for creativity.

And I loved that part.

We also talk about her acting career.

You might know her as Beth Green in her role on AMC's horror series, The Walking Dead.

And she's also appeared as an actress and so many other

things. She's been in Masters of Sex, the CW's The Flash. She's done so many different series,

and she's a tremendous actor. She was in Spring Awakening, which I think I saw her in on Broadway,

when I saw Spring Awakening, which we talked about in this

episode. Anyway, she's a delight. I loved getting to meet her and I want to get to this episode

as quickly as possible. But I just have a couple quick announcements for you guys. First of all,

there are only a couple episodes left until we're going to take a break.
