EMMA MYERS: How Netflix’s Wednesday Made Me Famous Overnight. I Wasn’t Prepared for How My Life Would Change
Great Company with Jamie LaingShow Notes
Emma Myers' life changed almost overnight when ‘Wednesday’ became a global hit on Netflix. Her role as Enid Sinclair made her an instant fan favourite and quickly launched her into the spotlight.
Since then she’s gone on to lead A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and star in the record-breaking Minecraft movie. But long before the world knew her name, Emma was a homeschooled kid who often felt like the odd one out.
In our conversation, Emma opens up about the whirlwind of overnight fame, working with the likes of Jenna Ortega and Jack Black, and how she's learned to stay grounded in an industry that moves at a thousand miles an hour.
In this episode, Emma shares:

Emma is a reminder that life-changing moments don't have to be daunting and that sometimes the biggest changes can be the best thing that can happen.
