Summary

Hey guys! Today, there's no intro while I recover from my procedure. We are replaying one of my favorite podcasts from Apr 8, 2019, Gettin' Better # 34 - Why Wait? with Wendi McLendon-Covey. You may know her as Beverly from the Goldbergs or Deputy Clementine Johnson from Reno 911! We talk about her parents not being supportive of her career path, The Groundlings, going through your feelings, how to stay married, and how Wendi is Gettin' Better!
