Show Notes
Marni reconnects with Jaime Gleicher, Tony-nominated Broadway co-producer and licensed psychotherapist, who opens up about her full-circle journey from MTV's Rich Girls to producing one of the most powerful plays on Broadway. Jaime shares how a lifelong love of theater led her to invest in and co-produce shows like POTUS, Parade, and most recently John Proctor Is the Villain, a story that deeply resonated with her due to its themes of #MeToo, adolescence, and justice.
She discusses her entry into producing, the emotional impact of the play, and how her own experiences—both personal and professional—shaped her decision to help bring it to the stage. Jaime also reflects on the emotional toll of her time in the public eye, the lasting effects of reality television, and how she’s reclaimed her narrative through therapy, writing a memoir, and launching her handmade accessory brand Live Rainbowfully.
This is a raw, moving conversation about identity, purpose, and turning pain into meaningful work.
