If you haven't seen On Becoming a Guinea Fowl yet, please RUN to your nearest streaming service (it's on HBO Max for free if you subscribe) and watch because today we're talking to the brilliant film's brilliant lead Susan Chardy. On Becoming a Guinea Fowl competed at Cannes' Un Certain Regard section last year, where it was nominated for best film and won best director, and Susan herself won the 2024 British Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Performance and was also nominated for Best Lead Performance. It's truly a wonderful film, and Susan is awesome! On today's ep, we get right into it and talk about parenting, how she knew she wanted children, her days as a model in New York City, meeting her tennis pro husband and knowing he was different than all the others, and we even get into the romcom story of her parents' relaysh! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!
