Jeanne, Cathy, and I get into what it actually feels like to be in this empty nest stage. Missing your kids while also being proud of them, navigating the shift in your role as a parent, and figuring out who you are when your day-to-day life looks completely different. We talk about friendship, community, grief, and how this phase can feel both freeing and disorienting at the same time. There’s also a lot of conversation around slowing down, being more present, and not feeling the need to constantly fill your time just to avoid sitting with what you’re feeling.

Hosted by LeeAnn Kreischer, Wife of the Party offers a backstage pass to the chaos and comedy of a life lived in the spotlight's shadow. This isn't just a podcast about being married to a famous comedian; it's a raw, funny, and surprisingly educational look at the realities of partnership, parenting, and maintaining your own identity. Through candid conversations with a rotating roster of friends, LeeAnn delves into the unvarnished truths of marriage, the beautiful mess of family life, and the unique experience of sharing your home with a human tornado of energy like Bert Kreischer. Each episode feels like a late-night chat with your most honest friend, one who isn't afraid to laugh at the absurdities while sharing hard-won wisdom. You'll hear stories that range from hilariously relatable to uniquely surreal, all grounded in LeeAnn's genuine perspective. From Berty Boy Productions, this podcast blends comedy with heartfelt moments and practical takeaways, making it a listen for anyone navigating their own relationships or simply curious about the person who keeps the party going long after the microphone is off. It’s about finding the humor in the everyday, the lessons in the chaos, and your own voice within the noise.
