LeeAnn Kreischer (encore)
In honor of Free Bert, we're revisiting one of my favorite episodes with LeeAnn Kreischer. Original description: Writer, mother and host of Wife of the Party, LeeAnn Kreischer has always struck me as very wise and self-actualized. Turns out she really is! We talk about her incredibly challenging childhood, her desire to be happy, growing up with a borderline mother, meeting her husband Bert Kreischer, a little something called "Bert Mode," the effect of Bert's success on her marriage, realizing she preferred writing to acting, recurring fights, her years in New York, postpartum depression and rage and so much more. We also answered your questions and did a Just Me Or Everyone involving couch maintenance. Plus we did a round of JMOE, HGFY and Podcast Pals Product Picks.
