Lifestyles of the Anxious and Famous

Ever wondered what it’s like to execute a Robert Di Niro Scorsese film level performances, engineer theatre kid reality tv shows, and spoof the greatest mid-2000s Australian mermaid show of all time within 60 second time frames? Today's your day. The aforementioned list is a reflection of the creative brilliance of Vienna Ayla: a woman who defies reality itself.   

This week we talk to rising comedienne Vienna about the circumstances and experiences that shaped her into the performer and person she is today. She teeters between reality, fantasy, and performance as we discuss the surveillance of sexuality at elite boarding schools, resilience in the face of profound psychological obstacles, fame, loyalty, and the importance of bravery. 

Topics included: the power of the  Italian-American dynasty, bionic children, manifestations of OCD, how to build characters on tik tok, the upsides to divorce, a variety of falsified lifehacks, going viral, feeling like you can fly the plane better than the pilot
