SPARK, A Mother-Daughter Journey
Hi, this is Jenny Kierstead and Sophia Rae, a Mother-Daughter duo. We’ve been through a lot together the last few years. As we moved through COVID self-isolation, we also dealt with our own traumatic grief from the massacre here in NS, which claimed the life of Jenny’s sister, and Sophia’s Aunt, Lisa McCully. We decided to channel our desire to spark a light amidst the darkness by creating this podcast.Our hope for this podcast is to ignite honest, whole-hearted conversations that bridge the generational gap, heal trauma and light the path for a healthy, united future.
SPARK, A Mother-Daughter Journey
Teen Success - with actress Simone Miller
What's it like to be a rising celebrity?
In this episode, Jenny and Sophia chat with Simone Miller, an actor in shows such as CBC Detention Adventures and Run the Burbs. Sophia fell in love with Simone's debut single, Dry Eyes, that was featured in the CBC Searchlight competition. Sophia just had to know where this teen gets her drive and confidence.
Simone shares her key secret's to being a highly effective teen (time management and purposeful social media usage being a few). She talks about her parents support and how her Mom pushed Simone into acting to help her daughter come out of her shell.
Her cool parents are a huge support system for Simone and she's now recruiting her younger siblings to act in future music videos.
As for peer pressure and jealousy? She surrounds herself with other big dreamers.
Despite her success, she does struggle sometimes and she helps to shed light on mental health challenges through her social channels.
