Heather Pasternak Is Pursuing More Joy

Original Air Date - 12/1/22
Heather Pasternak, stand-up comic and old friend of Bridget's, stops in to talk about her new comedy special Slay At Home Mom. She and Bridget discuss being new moms, being neurotic and having a child, feeling both terrible and magical when you're pregnant, how being a parent is a double edged sword, the pressure in the Mommy World - particularly on Instagram, and why getting back to work after having the baby made her feel like her again. They cover how Heather wants her comedy to help people to feel less alone, the focus on quality over quantity in your work, how finding a way to make it joyful is the only way it’s sustainable, how she uses the stage to process where she is at the moment, and they commiserate over the feeling of failing at being a mom and working and having to be okay with not doing both of those things perfectly.
