Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Do you ever discover somebody somewhere maybe on a podcast or on YouTube or on a stage or even in real life and you're like,

wow, where has this person been? I love them. I want them in my world. That's how I felt when I discovered

Kristen Haney. I heard her on my friend Rob Bell's podcast and I just fell in

love with her. I immediately paused to the interview, looked her up, reached out and

said can we connect, will you please be a guest on a Let It

the Easy Podcast?

Kristen's fantastic. She has the true heart of a creative and a poet, and she interestingly is a poet. In fact, she's a theatre, television and film director,

as well as writer, producer, creative guide artist, and as we said, poet.

She's best known, actually, for directing and developing the smash hit, internationally,

Rock of Ages.

Didn't we all love Rock of Ages? which received five Tony Award nominations, including a nomination for Best Direction

of a musical. And she's directed productions a bit all over the world. Truly Kristen is so

accomplished she has so many talents and gifts and strengths and in this conversation we speak a lot about

storytelling and how the stories that we tell about our lives create what happens

next and as a master, storyteller, I feel as if, you know, Kristen just gives us so many gifts,

insights, poles of wisdom in this conversation and I'm just so so so psyched to bring her to you.

So without further ado, here is Kristen Hengue.

Kristen Hengue.

I cannot believe you're here.

I am so happy to have you on the Let It be Easy podcast.

Welcome.
