In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over a chilled vodka cran with comedienne and TV development intern Amelia Rose Ritthaler to discuss the pressure to be “nice” in Canada, using comedy to fit in, and I finally learn what the hell a finsta is! Hilariously candid both on-stage and off, Amelia is a constant reminder that being yourself always makes you the most interesting. Oh, and her Twitter “is fire”.

Hey, I’m Amanda Pereira. I’m an actor, comedian, and creator based out of Toronto, Canada, and I get stuck in my head. A lot. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and if I can’t do something perfectly I don’t do it at all. I’ve wanted to start this podcast for years and I rewrote this description too many times to count. Admitting that feels scary because now I’m wondering if you’re surprised that I settled on this as the final product. See what I mean?
But I’m really tired of trying to be perfect and constantly doubting myself. Like, I need a nap. It’s makes me withdraw from the people around me and it feels impossible to make new friends. When I meet people, I’m so focused on only showing the parts of myself that I think they would like, that I might as well not even be there. This imposter syndrome is even worse when I’m around fellow actors and artists, which leaves me feeling like I “know” a ton of people in the acting and comedy community, without really knowing them at all. And damn does that ever feel lonely.
But this year I’m turning 30 years old, and enough is enough! Enter: The Liquid Courage Podcast…
Each week I will sit down with a different woman in the entertainment industry that I admire - that up until now I’ve felt inferior to and flawed in comparison - and finally have a truthful, one-on-one, candid conversation with them. Sound intimidating? Uh, yeah! So, in each episode my guest and I will enjoy their favourite drink (some liquid courage!) to help me get out of my head and finally ask these women the questions I’ve always wanted to.
