Can you turn heartbreak into comedy? And what happens when becoming a mother changes everything you thought you knew about your career, your body, and yourself?
This week on The Funny Thing Is Podcast, comedian Nicole Burch sits down with comedian Janine Harouni to talk about her deeply personal stand-up special Manoushe, the realities of pregnancy loss, the challenges of motherhood, and how humor can help us navigate some of life's most difficult experiences.
From miscarriage and the anxiety of becoming pregnant again to the emotional and physical realities of childbirth, Nicole and Janine have an honest conversation about experiences women are too often expected to keep quiet.
Be sure to check out Janine Harouni's stand-up special Manoushe.
