Welcome to another episode of Time to Elevate Podcast!

I’m your host, Ann Lucente. Thank you so much for being here today and for being part of this journey. This is a space where we talk about resilience, pivots, and the power of walking together along the way.

As we close out the last months of 2025, I’ve been highlighting a special series I call “Empowered Daughters”. Today’s guest is the second of this series and someone I could not imagine my life without. The last time she was here, a little over a year ago, she was still finding her way. Since then, she has risen with incredible strength and achieved so much.

She is resilience in motion, with an unbelievable ability to pivot when life takes unexpected turns. When she puts her mind to something, there is no stopping her. She is powerful, determined, and a true force.

And here’s the part that makes this conversation even more special for this end of year theme—she IS my actual daughter. I could not be more proud or more excited to welcome her back to the podcast.

Let me give you a glimpse into who she is before we get started.

She is an actress based in Charleston, SC, originally from upstate NY. A graduate of Western Connecticut State University, she honed her craft in theatre performance and discovered a love for behind the scenes work as well. While she has a great love and respect for the theatre, she is currently focused on pursuing a career in film acting. She is excited to continue working towards her future in the film industry and is currently exploring all aspects of the industry from acting to directing to filmmaking. She is passionate about creating powerful, meaningful stories through diverse, complex characters and looks forward to sharing more of these stories in the future.

And now, I get to welcome back someone who holds a very special place in my heart— My creative, fearless, unstoppable, daughter, Julia Rose Purdy.

Welcome Back to the Time to Elevate Podcast!

I’m your host, Ann Lucente. If this is your first time listening, you’ve just stepped into a space where we elevate each other along the journey, honor the strength it takes to keep showing up, and trust that everything unfolds exactly when it’s meant to.

Today’s guest is someone I first connected with through the VO Academy, where she served as a mentor and quickly became a standout guide. She brings a refreshing mix of authenticity, humor, and encouragement that pushes you to step into your full self—flaws, laughs, and all.

She’s a voiceover actor, coach, and creative powerhouse who knows the value of being real—showing up as yourself and taking the risk. She’s not about perfection; she’s about relaxing into the process, and finding confidence in being unapologetically YOU. Her work inspires people to break through fear and embrace their unique stories with courage and joy.

So if you’re looking for someone who’ll make you smile, give you permission to loosen up, and remind you that your true voice matters, you’re in for a treat.

She is a New York City-based full-time voiceover actor with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Her voice has brought life to projects for brands like Marvel, Crayola, Disney, Peloton, IBM, Coke, Walmart, Kohl’s, and more.

Beyond the booth, her heart is in helping others. She’s a dedicated coach who supports voice actors at every stage of their journey, and she does it with humor, honesty, and heart.

She also runs a vibrant VO community on Discord, shares daily behind-the-scenes and tips on TikTok, and writes a thoughtful Substack where she dives into everything from industry insights to mental wellness and neuroscience.

You’re about to hear from someone who keeps it real, leads with love, and makes this creative path feel a little more possible.

So let’s get into it with my friend, the one and only, Mandy Fisher!
