Actress, producer and now director JoAnna Garcia Swisher joins In Her Words to talk about leveling-up her career—and why she wants other women in entertainment to do the same. From helming her first episode of Netflix’s hit Sweet Magnolias (after a whirlwind location shoot in New York City) to launching her own production banner Rolling Clover and lifestyle brand The Happy Place, JoAnna breaks down the skills, mentors and mindset shifts that helped her move behind the camera. She also previews the next season of the series, dishes on hosting The Ultimatum: Queer Love, and explains how her new Ziploc® “Food for Thought” campaign keeps her set—and her daughters’ lunches—organized and eco-friendly.



In Her Words presents thoughtful conversations with leaders across entertainment from film and television to media and gaming and everything in between; as we talk about what it takes to make your mark in the industry, lessons these incredible people have learned along the way, and how they have found their way in an ever-changing environment. With in-depth conversations and pre-submitted listener questions, each episode provides candid advice for navigating today’s entertainment industry, giving listeners an inside look at how key players got their start, and guidance for building the necessary toolkit to bring careers to life in film, TV, music, theater, graphics, writing, animation and beyond.
