Dana is an actor, producer, podcast creator and host and deeply curious about the human condition, and how empathy, listening and levity can change the world. She started the podcast (in her closet, next to her Spanx) called I Swear on My Mother’s Grave to process the loss of her mother with other people dealing with complex emotions around maternal loss, and not just in death. She got married last year on the patio of her Nana’s nursing home, and now lives in Traverse City, MI after over 20 years in Chicago.
