Actor, comedian and producer Maddy Tyers joins Sam and Sarah to talk about the reality of an acting career when the phone stops ringing, why she stopped waiting to be chosen and started creating her own work, and her new Stan comedy The Sunny Disposition. Maddy also opens up about her recovery from anorexia, how an eating disorder affected her experience of pregnancy and motherhood, the unexpected job at Starlight Children's Foundation that changed her life and led her to husband Jimmy, and why giving up isn't an option.
