On this episode, Dre welcomes comedian and creator Manon Mathews to circle around the wild ride of new motherhood and the courage it takes to keep creating through it all.

Together they unpack the loneliness that comparison creates, the surprising freedom in radical honesty, and the way pain can be our teacher. Manon reflects on her creative process — embracing spontaneity, catching inspiration before it dissipates and committing to share from wherever she is.

This is a conversation about creative freedom, the power of laughter, and the connection between healing and humor.
