Mandy Simonson has thick skin and a sharp wit—and she’s needed both. After ten years as a Bay Area police officer, surviving stage three breast cancer, and raising two daughters, stand-up comedy feels like the easy part.

In this episode, Mandy sits down with Andrea to share how her past shaped her comedy, from undercover train patrols and neon “dating vests” to chemo with a newborn at home. She opens up about divorce, resilience, and why she finally said yes to the stage at 48.

Motherhood, midlife, and comedy collide in the best (and funniest) ways when Mandy tells her story.
