This week you will LAUGH, LEARN, and be incredibly INSPIRED.My guest had an insanely difficult childhood and still went on to have tremendous success in so many areas of life.How do you overcome pain? A difficult childhood or relationship?How do you navigate career and family? Etc etc\xa0This week I\u2019m honored to share with you the truly incredible Christina Pazsitzky.At the end of the show I think you\u2019ll feel like you went through one of the most enjoyable therapy sessions you could possibly ever imagine.I have followed her work for a couple of years now, and I think she is one of the MOST TALENTED ARTISTS in any field I\u2019ve ever seen.She is married to stand-up comedian TOM SEGURA and has two boys, so you can guess how crazy that house is most times. \xa0Although you\u2019ll crack up at what she\u2019s got to say, much of Christina\u2019s humor is rooted in some pretty HEAVY ISSUES. Much of the world\u2019s great humor starts from places of pain, and as you\u2019ll hear, Christina is no exception.Christina has taken those DARK, EDGY PLACES with no safe place that scared her as a child and turned them into EMOTIONAL INSIGHTS that can\u2019t be faked. Try growing up with a mom who was borderline schizophrenic and a dad who\u2019s been married five times! She was able to take those extremes and turn them into INCREDIBLY RELATABLE OBSERVATIONS.Pay particular attention to Christina\u2019s KETAMINE TRIP after breaking her ankle in four places. It\u2019s one of the most powerful stories I\u2019ve ever heard, especially after tying it into the story she tells on her Mom Genes special.You\u2019ll also hear Christina\u2019s take on going to THERAPY for 12 years. Spoiler alert! In a completely sane answer, she\u2019s a big fan of it.Expect to LAUGH.But also be prepared to DROP A TEAR or two\u2026That\u2019s the essence of comedy.And the essence of Christina P.Enjoy!\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
