EPISODE #254: Negin Farsad Tackles Her Daughter’s Unanswerable Questions

In 2017, comedian Negin Farsad came on the podcast to tackle kids’ unanswerable questions. Now that she’s a mom, we invited her back to wrestle with some of her own kid’s unanswerable questions… and we did it live in a room full of our friends and past guests!

Ali Yarrow from The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood was there, as well as Dr. Kameelah Phillips from Managing Your Perimenopausal Rage. She and Hillary had never met IRL!

After everyone mingled and browsed the clothing at M.M.LaFleur, we sat down for the recording. Negin grappled with how to answer her daughter’s questions about death, slavery, and war… while maintaining a good sense of humor!

Plus, we had a delightful episode crossover moment with another former guest, Laura Kavanagh from When Rumors Spread Like Wildfire About the Fire Commissioner. (Hot firefighters were involved!)

Tune in for an irreverent conversation about curious kids, working moms, and finding humor in dark times.

It was so cool to have former guests attend our live show!
You can hear them in the following episodes:
• Laura Kavanah: When Rumors Spread Like Wildfire About the Fire Commissioner
• Dr. Kameelah Phillips: Managing Your Perimenopausal Rage
• Ali Yarrow: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood
