The DrunkaloguesKari Assad talks neurofeedback, acting, stand up and recoveryKari grew up in Santa Rosa California where she fell hard for the theater scene - a passion that took her to Emerson College and on into the South for acting after. The bug then brought her out to Los Angeles where she eventually found that same vital sense of energy and community in the world of stand up but not before she first endured a couple of dark phases and before the discovery of a form and method of recovery I've never encountered. 2020-03-1754 min
