    Episode 338: Vivienne Truong
    Oct 4 2025
    It's been a while but we’re back and our next guest is Vivienne Truong, a local actress who studied at San Jose State, where she also studied Psychology as well as theatre. Jake and I talk about her upbring, her career in the bay area and where she sees herself in the future. Vivienne can be contacted directly via Instagram: @viviennasausage Alexis Green (Episode 330) has a wonderful product that will improve your mental and spiritual health. It’s the Clarity Journal – it’s a journal, designed from lived experience - a compassionate tool for anyone seeking deeper emotional awareness. With daily check-ins, a mood wheel, and free-writing spaces, Alexis and her company has created a nurturing environment to help you connect with your true self. As a journal writer myself for many years, I can attest to how soothing it is for me to have a journal – I think it’ll work for you too.
