Susan Sarandon

Oscar-winning actress and humanitarian Susan Sarandon explains why she credits her success to the fact that all of her plans failed. A New Jersey native and the eldest of nine siblings, Susan grew up in a strict Roman Catholic school system, which she says shaped her world view in a way that eventually led to her social and political activism. Susan talks about her first big break when she auditioned for an independent film on a whim and how she was soon starring in big feature films, such as "Bull Durham," "Thelma & Louise" and "Dead Man Walking." Susan also opens up about aging in Hollywood and what she believes is at the root of true beauty.

In this episode I am joined by Susan Sarandon. We talk seeking balance & presence as Libras, being an ‘undercover Other’, political activism & the aftermath of the 2016 election and the responsibility that comes with privilege.    This episode is sponsored by Mailchimp.
