29. Brandy Ferner on How to Embarrass Your Sex Ed Teacher

Writer and podcaster Brandi Ferner tells us about an embarrassing moment that she is sure ruined a stranger’s labor experience tells us about another embarrassing moment that made her quit gymnastics, fills us in on how not to sneak-carry a tampon to the bathroom in a cheerleader uniform, and reveals how she managed to embarrass her 7th-grade sex-ed teacher. She is loving the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend and the book All the Rage: Mothers, Fathers, and the Myth of Equal Partnership. She lets us in on something about her we’d never know by looking and shares the two best pieces of advice she’s ever been given. To listen to her interview the friend who gave her the awesome advice, check out her Adult Conversations episodes starring Kathie here, here, and here.

My Guest: Brandy is a mother, wife, and the creator of the Adult Conversation podcast, social media pages, and blog. Her writing has been featured in Good Morning America, HuffPost, Romper, CafeMom, TODAY Parents, and more. She has a book coming out in May of this year, also called “Adult Conversation: A Novel” – it’s a darkly humorous novel about the relentlessness of modern motherhood, as the main character questions, “Am I broken, or is motherhood?” In addition to writing and fulfilling her kids’ endless snack requests, she’s spent the past decade working as a doula, childbirth educator, and birth trauma mentor, ushering clients through the intense transition into motherhood. The insight gained from watching moms crack wide open — literally and figuratively — and her own experience as an independent woman who suddenly traded autonomy for snuggles led her to say out loud the things that mothers are thinking. Sometimes it’s serious, sometimes it’s comedic, but it’s always honest. She currently lives in Southern California, and her love language is sleep.
