Finding Joy in Facing Your Fears with Veronica Maccari

In this episode of My Slice of Life, Maddie sits down with actor, writer, stunt performer, and aspiring director Veronica Maccari for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about fear, growth, and creative courage.

Veronica opens up about how intentionally stepping outside her comfort zone has helped her not only as a performer, but as a person—especially during her wildly successful film festival run. Together, they explore the idea of finding joy in discomfort and using fear as a tool for transformation.

Recorded over a plate of homemade gluten-free, sugar-free, seed-oil-free Tagalong copycat cookies (baked by Maddie!!), this episode serves up vulnerability, wisdom, and a few good laughs—perfect for anyone looking to conquer their own fears, one bite-sized challenge at a time.
