“How can we find the magic in our lives? Because we need it, in order to keep going.”
Part poetry, part stand-up, and part serenade, Vanessa Smythe shares poignant, funny, and deeply personal stories about the people we dreamed we’d be – and the memories that remind us of who we truly are. Wry and unafraid to poke fun at herself, Vanessa’s show is a celebration of life’s tricky tight corners, and its enduring, understated joy. “[S]he’s able to quickly tack between the humour in everyday minutia, and grand, heartfelt observations about big life questions.” – NOW
For these performances, Vanessa and her microphone are joined by her 8-months pregnant stomach.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
