Today I'm joined by "momedian" Heather Tolley-Bauer. She's a drop-dead funny, stay-at-home mom, colon cancer survivor, stand-up comedian. Her comedy is for moms, women, and couples and covers everything from parenting to Pintrest, the PTA, and really anything else that keeps us awake at night. She's also the producer and host of the wildly popular, sold out show called 'Laugh Lines and Stretch Marks' and she's even appeared on season four of the Weather Channel's top-rated original program called 'Weather Gone Viral'. Heather walks us through her "day job" (4:03), details how having a comedic outlook has helped her deal with the "tough stuff" (7:19), she talks about moving to the south as a "hot mess" (12:08), why she enjoys bringing a much needed laugh break to her audience (15:25), how she seeks to find a version of truth in her comedy (17:21), brags about the handsome doctor who convinced her to get the colonoscopy that saved her life (19:43), describes her amazing relationship with her son and why it's important for him to see that "mommy's have bad days" (31:22), how her family handles most things in their house with laughter (34:47), and how she hopes they're teaching their son the right things (38:51).
