What if you tried something new, and it turned out great? Breeda Miller joins Mary Ann Faremouth on this episode of Career Can Do to share her journey of creating and performing a one-woman show that captivates audiences and brings meaningful stories to life. Breeda is an accomplished speaker, storyteller, and performer who uses humor and heartfelt narratives to connect with people on a deeper level. In this episode, Breeda takes us behind the scenes of her creative process and how she transformed her love for storytelling into a theatrical production.
The idea for her one-woman show, Mrs. Kelly’s Journey Home, was born from her desire to preserve her mother’s legacy while exploring themes of identity, resilience, and belonging. Through her personal journey, Breeda reflects on how we all carry stories within us that shape who we are. She found that by sharing these stories, she could help others see the humor and humanity in their lives, creating a bridge between her personal experiences and the universal emotions that connect us all.
Crafting a one-woman show isn’t just about writing a script — it’s about delivering an authentic performance that resonates with audiences deeply emotionally. Breeda’s show isn’t just about sharing her mother’s story; it’s about inviting the audience into a shared experience, where they laugh, cry, and walk away feeling like they’ve been on a journey with her.
She emphasizes the importance of taking creative risks, even when stepping into the unknown feels daunting. Breeda encourages listeners to trust their instincts, push past their fears, and embrace vulnerability because that’s where the magic happens. Through her performance, Breeda shows that it’s never too late to step into the spotlight, create something meaningful, and share your voice with the world.
Her journey reminds us that sometimes the most rewarding and transformative experiences come from taking the leap into new creative endeavors, even when it seems scary or uncertain.
