Moms Unhinged Comedy

Remember when you thought your kids would just eat what you served?

In this episode, comedian Emily Holden joins Andrea Marie to swap stories about picky eaters, dinner table negotiations, and the surprisingly strong opinions children develop about food.

They talk about kids who won't eat sandwiches, kids who think ketchup belongs on everything, and why feeding a family can feel like running a restaurant where nobody likes the menu.

If you've ever spent 45 minutes making a meal only to hear, "I don't like it," before anyone takes a bite, this one's for you.

Why does nobody tell women what menopause is actually like?

This week on Moms Unhinged, Andrea Marie sits down live with Dr. Savita Ginde from Boulder Valley Health Center to talk about menopause symptoms, mom chaos, and why women were made to feel “crazy” during this stage of life for way too long.

They also get into itchy ears (apparently that’s a symptom now), parenting twin boys, airport disaster, and the upcoming Coming in Hot comedy fundraiser event benefiting Boulder Valley Health Center.

Raising three kids while doing standup comedy means sometimes the Tooth Fairy is doing her best.

This week, comedian Zoe Rogers joins Moms Unhinged to talk about parenting giant teenage boys, doing standup while visibly pregnant, and why nobody in her house is allowed to be productive for more than 30 seconds.

Andrea and Zoe also get into late-night comedy shows, dinosaur books at 1am, and the chaos of raising kids while trying to build a career.

After 31 years of teaching elementary school, Patricia Forehand thought she knew exactly how life would go. Then a life-changing diagnosis forced her to ask a terrifying question:

What if “later” never comes?

So in her 50s, Patricia did something completely unexpected — she walked into an open mic and became a stand-up comedian.

In this episode, Patricia shares how motherhood, marriage, empty nesting, and a health scare pushed her to finally stop putting herself last. She talks about building a comedy career after retirement, finding her voice later in life, and discovering that women over 50 are far from invisible.

She also tells the hilarious story of realizing her daughter may have been paying too much attention to her parents’ love story… right around the time she announced she was getting married at 19.

This conversation is funny, honest, unexpectedly inspiring, and a reminder that your life does not stop once the kids grow up. Sometimes that’s exactly when it begins.

Some moms get flowers for Mother’s Day. Donna Lee found out her mom had been secretly storing years of unopened crystal gifts in a cabinet.

In this episode, Andrea sits down with fellow Moms Unhinged comedians Donna Lee and Stephanie McHugh for a Mother’s Day conversation that quickly turns into stories about chaotic family traditions, emotional homemade gifts, and the complicated politics of adult kids splitting holidays between moms.

From sentimental videos that still make Andrea cry to a family Christmas tradition involving duct-taped gift cards, the conversation starts out sweet and slowly goes off the rails in the way only family stories can.

Anne Stesney didn’t take the usual path into comedy. She started, got discouraged, quit… and then came back anyway.

In this episode, Anne talks about being the only woman over 40 at open mics, how a random Zoom mic pulled her back in, and why one person saying “you’re really funny” was enough to keep her going.

We also get into raising a kid in New York City (where “go play outside” is not a real option), what happens when your kid doesn’t fit neatly into sports or theater, and the very weird shift from a loud house… to a quiet one.

Which is both a little sad and kind of amazing.

Kids’ sports start out innocent. A sign-up sheet, a jersey, maybe a Saturday morning game.

And then suddenly you’re discussing travel teams, buying new gear every season, and wondering how this became your entire weekend.

This week, Andrea is joined by comedians Stacy Pederson and Amanda Marks to talk about the reality of kids’ sports. They get into cost, the chaos, and the part where you accidentally join a whole new social scene you didn’t audition for.

There’s also trying every sport before landing on one and the moment you realize this isn’t just an activity… it’s a lifestyle.

Parenting is a lot… so naturally we’re comparing it to wine.

This week, I’m joined by Danielle Frank, author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting (yes, you need this), and we get into why raising kids and drinking wine have more in common than you’d expect.

From being the “fun aunt” who gets to send kids home, to navigating life as a bonus mom, Danielle shares stories that are equal parts hilarious and way too real.

We talk about manners, boundaries, co-parenting dynamics, and the moments that make you question everything… plus a few unhinged childhood stories (including one that involves the cops).

Lisa Trank thought she’d never get married. Definitely never have kids.

So naturally… she had three by 43, including surprise twins.

In this episode, Lisa shares the moment she went in thinking she had the flu and walked out finding out she was having twins. Plus, what it really looked like to raise “triplets separated by two years,” and how she found humor in the middle of a very full, very fast season of life.

We also get into how storytelling became her way of holding onto those moments—and why she’s now back on stage in her 60s telling stories that are just a little unexpected.
