Highlights with Dark Roots

Eileen & Kenneth

Join us as we openly explore the highs & lows of our ongoing journeys as creative artists, teachers & struggling humans in NYC. We channel our sarcasm, wit & honest introspection into this weekly podcast. Recognizing that we all have stories to share & some are more painful than others but connection & expression are imperative for our humanity, we’re both ready to be real with ourselves & with you. We will discuss everything from atrocious audition stories to how we’re working through childhood trauma, our favorite meditations & what inspires us to keep searching for our personal truths.

It Starts with One Step

In this week’s episode we discuss the ongoing concept of change, how life sometimes does not go as planned (does it ever?), how patterns can help and hurt us and ways we can see ourselves through fresh eyes. PLEASE NOTE: We are working on our microphone situation and are aware that there are a couple places where words get cut out, thank you for taking this journey with us as we navigate this new venture together and work to figure out this process as well as how long our episodes are!

Why Not Now?

We have been working on an original multi-media show that we eventually want to perform live onstage. We realized that the process is long & wonderful & tough & stressful but worth it. After sitting with it, we also realized that we work through ideas & concepts through analytical conversation & anecdotal sharing...why not talk it out first & share our process with others? This episode is our intro to you & what brought us to this point.
