This week on The Rosie Rose Podcast, I'm joined by Zara Marielle, founder of Present Company Improv in Arcata, California, and a soon-to-be published author. From shy ESL teacher to global performer, Zara’s story is proof that saying yes to the unknown can change everything.
We talk about how improv helped her find her voice, connect with community, and even become a better listener. She also shares how the principles of improv—like celebrating mistakes and embracing spontaneity—can help anyone become more confident, creative, and grounded.
Whether you’re curious about public speaking, building confidence, or simply looking for a fresh creative spark, this episode is for you.
