Casually Spiraling
Welcome to Casually Spiraling with me, Julie Bishop — just a tall girl in this world, trying to make sense of life, dating, money, relationships, identity, culture… you know, all the things. I’ve learned that my thoughts don’t always land with the people around me — so I’m here to break it all down, talk it out (probably overshare), and maybe find some who don’t think I’m totally crazy after all

How To Navigate Being an Artist ft. Ananda Palmore
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Casually Spiraling, I’m joined by a dear friend and seriously inspiring human—Ananda Palmore. You may know her from Peacock’s Fight Night alongside Kevin Hart and Don Cheadle, or from her honest, thoughtful writing on Substack.
We talk about how we met post-grad in Atlanta, growing up in the industry together, and what it’s been like navigating acting, rejection, and big dreams—now from LA. Ananda opens up about her time at Spelman, finding pride and community, and learning how to take up space without losing kindness.
We also dive into Fight Night, what that booking meant after years of auditions, handling last-minute changes on set, and how she stays grounded in a career that can feel unstable and overwhelming.
