She Shed Comedy: Empowering Your Comedy Career
Education:Self-Improvement
We’ve heard this from women time and time again, “I don’t want to become my mother”. This begs the question, why are mother-daughter relationships so complicated?
This is a tricky question, especially if you’ve grown up with a mother who was abusive, narcissistic, and neglectful. As a comic, you would think, wow, these traumatic events could be comedic gold, because comedy equals tragedy plus time right?
Well, there is a missing piece to this equation, and that is the part in between tragedy and time, which is, reconciliation. To not retraumatize yourself as a comic, and actually convert your tragedy into comedy in a cathartic way, the healing and breakthroughs need to happen before you hit the stage armed with anecdotes about your trauma.
This is what Linda discovered after a trip to Bali that changed her life forever. After living a life of resentment toward her mother, when Linda returned from Bali she decided it was time to reconcile once and for all, because she knew her future was living on the other side of healing her mother wound.After a ton of perseverance, Linda was able to make amends with her mother that allowed for a deep healing, not only in her relationship with her mother, but within herself too.
This type of healing takes ripping through triggers and fear that have been solidified for years and making bold courageous moves in the direction that is in alignment with your highest self.
Maybe that alignment is on the other side of a really tough conversation.Tune in to hear Linda’s story of how she broke through 31 years of resentment and trauma with one conversation which has made her the comic she is today.
