 We’re all on a journey, navigating a path filled with dreams, challenges, and opportunities. Though our paths are different, we’re all headed in the same direction. So why not ELEVATE each other along the way? My name is Ann Lucente, and I’m a voice actor and the host of Time to Elevate, a podcast where I sit down with incredible guests I’ve met along my journey to explore their stories of resilience, pivoting, faith, and divine intervention. My show is for those seeking inspiration, personal growth, and real conversations that remind us we’re never alone.Ann Lucente Sciences sociales

    “Don’t Let Your Past Control Your Future.” ~ A message from Rebecca's Dad🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋Hey! Welcome to another episode of Time to Elevate Podcast! I’m your host, Ann Lucente. Whether you’ve been listening since day one or you’re joining me for the very first time, I’m so thrilled you’re here. This is a space where we talk about resilience, life pivots, and the divine interventions that place people in our paths when we least expect it. It’s all about the strength we find when we walk the journey together. Today’s guest is someone I met through what I truly believe was divine intervention. If you’ve listened before, you’ve heard me talk about how the Woodstock/New Paltz Craft Fair has blessed me in ways far beyond shopping. I’ve met incredible people there who have become dear friends. In September of 2025, I was going through a season where I felt a bit out of sorts and really needed time to just be. That weekend, the craft fair happened to be taking place, so I decided to go on my own. As I was casually strolling through, I stopped at a vendor booth that was completely meant to be. That booth belonged to my guest today. What started as a simple moment of browsing turned into something so much more. From that one stop came beautiful, meaningful memories for me and my family. My guest today truly has a gift. Before I introduce you to her, let me share a little bit about her. She has always had a connection with needle & thread. Generations before her sewed and shared their skills with her. She has worked professionally as a seamstress, pieceworker, sewing machine ambassador, pattern tester, and even owned a quilt shop for a few years! In 1990, her terminally ill mother in law asked her to make christening outfits from her wedding gown. She, along with her maternal grandparents, inspired her to create and repurpose precious items into keepsakes for family & friends. In April of 2022, she left an administrative job to pursue her craft full time. She now creates custom memory keepsakes for others and makes fabulous accessories and seasonal décor in her home studio. She loves using unique prints, vintage trims, and thrifted items to create her own fabulous designs! You can find her year-round on Etsy or at seasonal events in the NJ & NY area. And now she’s here with me! Yay! I am super excited to welcome the incredibly talented Rebecca Szabo! ⁠⁠Rebecca's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rebecca's FacebookRebecca's Etsy🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋Time to Elevate original theme song created by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Singer Songwriter⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Victoria Purdy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time To Elevate Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ann Lucente Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time To Elevate Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email: TimeToElevate@timetoelevate.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Victoria Lynn Purdy - The Ultimate Christmas Girl! Plus Singer, Songwriter, & Actor
    Dec 24 2025
    “It’s a Long Life. There’s time to do everything and time to see everyone; and seasons.” ~ Mantra from Victoria Lynn Purdy🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋Welcome to another episode of Time to Elevate Podcast! Hey! Welcome to another episode of Time to Elevate Podcast! I’m your host, Ann Lucente, and whether you’ve been here from the start or this is your very first listen, Thank you so much 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. So, today’s guest is someone deeply connected to both me and this podcast. When I first transitioned from having a cohost to hosting Time to Elevate solo with featured guests back in March of 2024, my very first guest was the same person who’s joining me today. Since then, so many exciting things have been unfolding in her career. She’s a multi-talented artist—an accomplished singer songwriter, a growing actor, and the creative mind and voice behind the Time to Elevate theme song you hear at the start and finish of every episode. Her artistry is literally woven into the heart of this show. Before I introduce you to her, let me share a little bit about her: She grew up in a small town in New York, writing songs about heartbreak she had never experienced yet. Coming of age in the church and navigating her parents’ divorce made her really comfortable with messiness, and she discovered a love for expressing that through music. She has written songs about nearly every event in her life—playing with concepts of young love, feelings of not being good enough, and dealing with loss. She says, “Granted, many of those early songs were not very good, (I disagree!) but it was during that time I realized music was for me”. When she found herself turning to songwriting as a coping mechanism, she knew she had something special. When lockdown hit in 2020, the messiness she had grown accustomed to only amplified, and she finally decided to write about every messy thing she could find. Those songs became her stories. And now, I’m so excited to welcome back to the podcast someone who means the world to me—multi-talented singer songwriter, actor, my Christmas Girl, my daughter, Victoria Lynn Purdy. ⁠⁠Victoria's Instagram⁠⁠⁠Victoria’s TikTokVictoria’s WebsiteVictoria’s Link Tree🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋Time to Elevate original theme song created by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Singer Songwriter⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Victoria Purdy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time To Elevate Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ann Lucente Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time To Elevate Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email: TimeToElevate@timetoelevate.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

  • Grace Kimball - Director, Playwright, Intimacy Professional, & Asst. Director of Graduate Professional Development

    Grace Kimball - Director, Playwright, Intimacy Professional, & Asst. Director of Graduate Professional Development
    Nov 26 2025
    "Art is what you do for yourself" quote from Stephen Sondheim's musical Sunday in the Park with George.🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋Welcome to another episode of Time to Elevate Podcast! I’m your host, Ann Lucente. Whether it’s your first time listening or you’ve been along for the ride from the start, I am so grateful you’re here. Today we’re stepping into a fascinating space where scholarship, theater practice, and human connection all overlap. My guest today has dedicated her life to exploring the power of performance, both in history and in our present moment. You know, When I interview someone, I usually have met them before, or at least have a sense of how we’ll connect. With today’s guest, I had heard so many wonderful things about her through her parents, who are both amazing actors and voice actors but still, until I actually meet someone, I never really know how we’ll connect. Let me tell you, the moment we met for a brief sound check, I felt an instant connection. She’s the kind of person who immediately makes you feel comfortable and excited to be in conversation with her. Before we get into it, let me share a little bit of her story: She is the Assistant Director of Graduate Professional Development at UC Santa Barbara and a PhD candidate in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies. Her dissertation develops new performance theories to better understand how English Protestant identity was shaped in relation to other faith traditions during the early modern period. Her professional background is just as wide-ranging, spanning higher education, student affairs, public school teaching, and arts administration. She has also presented her research at national and international conferences, including the Shakespeare Association of America. Beyond her academic work, she is a theater director, playwright, and intimacy professional, with credits that stretch from Shakespeare adaptations to contemporary performance festivals. In 2022, she co-founded The Public Domain Players, a nonprofit theater company dedicated to making “found theater” more accessible, where she wrote, produced, and directed her play Finding Jud(a)ea. And when she’s not working, she’s weightlifting, reading, or on the hunt for the best pizza spots in Southern California. So help me welcome the incredibly talented Grace Kimball. ⁠⁠Grace's Instagram⁠⁠🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋Time to Elevate original theme song created by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Singer Songwriter⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Victoria Purdy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time To Elevate Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ann Lucente Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Time To Elevate Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email: TimeToElevate@timetoelevate.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
