Cozy Conversations with The Sister Project

380 | Growing Up With OCD… and Turning It Into Comedy


Listen Later

Welcome back, WIFs!

This week, Michelle and Lauren cozy up with one of their oldest friends from childhood — writer, storyteller, and stand-up comedian Bridget McGuire. What starts as a casual catch-up quickly turns into the kind of conversation that only happens when friends who grew up together start reminiscing about the good ole days.

The sisters and Bridget take a stroll down memory lane, revisiting what it was like growing up in the western suburbs of Chicago in the 90s and the bond of friendships that somehow survive decades and different cities.

Bridget shares the story behind her one-woman show Ballet Flats for Dinner, a deeply personal (and very funny) look at her life with OCD. The three talk about turning real life into comedy, why vulnerability can be hilarious, and how storytelling connects us all.

From 90s suburban nostalgia to stand-up comedy and creative storytelling, this episode is a cozy reminder that some friendships — and some stories — only get better with time.

Press play, get cozy, and enjoy this catch-up with an old friend.
