from Mental Illness Happy Hour

This ep was one of our first ever, recorded in 2011. Comedic actress / improvisor / writer / podcaster Jamie Denbo aka @JamieDenbo talks about being an only child, born to Jewish parents whose lives, culture and ancestors she feels are informed by fear. She talks about growing up in Massachusetts and feeling guilty for not having more obvious reason to explain her sadness, panic and anger, and how motherhood is helping her to recognize the familial and cultural cycles she would like to break. She and Paul also do an epic Fear/Love Off.More about Jamie:TV Roles: Orange Is the New Black, Happy Hour, The Mighty B!, F Is for Family, Terriers, Return of the Mac.Film Appearances: The Heat, Spy, Daddy's Home, Must Love Dogs, Yes Man.Comedy & Podcasts: A staple in the comedy scene, especially with her popular podcast Ronna & Beverly, and appearances on The Thrilling Adventure Hour.Writer: Created the Lifetime series American Princess and has written for Grey's Anatomy and The Mighty B!. Follow Jamie on social media @JamieDenboThis episode is sponsored by AlmaVisit helloalma.com/happyhour to schedule a free therapy consultation today.This episode is sponsored Quince. Go to www.Quince.com/mental for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.
