Kristin opens up about building a following through humor, family stories, and characters inspired by real life—especially the unforgettable “Carol.” From Staten Island salons and Italian family dynamics to wigs, wellness, aging, and finding laughter during hard moments, this conversation is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. Kristin shares how comedy became an unexpected outlet, why authenticity matters more than perfection, and how making people laugh can sometimes be the most powerful thing of all.
