208: Heather Brooker: #TimesUp in Hollywood

Heather Brooker is an actress, comedian, 2 time Emmy Award-winning writer, and host of the Motherhood in Hollywood podcast. She is a regular contributor to the Today Show Parenting Team, The Huffington Post, mom.me, and entertainment website Wonderwall as well as her own blog. Heather has appeared on The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and The Mindy Project just to name a few. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, daughter and celebrity cat, Gracie I Love You.

This is Heather’s second visit to the show.  I asked her back because she is such a fun interviewee AND I wanted to get her take on all things Hollywood right now.  I wanted to know what she was seeing in her red carpet experiences related to the #metoo and #timesup movements.  We also get into some parenting nitty gritty and friendship chit-chat (like why is it hard to make new mom friends???)

Listen in to hear Heather share:

• The biggest shifts she sees happening in Hollywood right now and why they are so relevant to all of us
• What she predicts for #timesup conversations at the upcoming Oscars
• Her thoughts around men in Hollywood right now
• How she’s preparing to lose her daughter to kindergarten next year
• Drama around making new mom friends – why is it so rigorous???
