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.Mentioned In This Episode:Mandy Simonson on Instagram: @musings_ala_mandy Love and Logic (Parenting Resources): https://www.loveandlogic.com/Moms Unhinged Comedy Shows: MomsUnhinged.com
