Victoria Blade had the tools not only to survive, but THRIVE

More than just the woman in all the commercials of Marvel's WandaVision, Victoria Blade is an award-winning actor, writer, director, singer-songwriter musician, dreamer, maker, doer, and human exclamation mark of delight. Her short film Alien Baby won so many awards on the festival circuit I've lost count. Did I mention between all that she manages to bake cakes inspired by Laurel Canyon? Learn about how her apocalypse (listen to the intro of episode 1 for context) redefined church, transported her across the country, and led to giving more good gifts to the world.
