This week on Parenting Is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with comedian and author Sally Brooks to talk about her hilarious memoir, Going to Maine: All the Ways to Fail on the Appalachian Trail. Sally shares how her wild adventures as a road comic and five months of hiking the Appalachian Trail prepared her (kind of) for parenting. From blisters that wouldn’t heal to the surprise night she unknowingly conceived her child, Sally keeps it real with stories that are equal parts relatable and laugh-out-loud funny. They chat about parenting as an ever-changing trail, Skibbi Toilet toy chaos, and the absurd parallels between surviving nature and surviving parenthood. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!
