Watch The Era of Her

Before I turned 30, I felt like I was on a countdown. There is a traditional concept that turning 30 brings. It’s supposed to be a time when big things happen. But when I turned thirty I realized, nothing happened at all. The term “middle-aged woman” has a unique power. Women between 30 and 50 often lose a little bit of the childishness and chaos of their 20s. They’re relatively more organized and relatively sure of themselves, but at the same time face some of the biggest life challenges. As a stand-up comedian, I’m fortunate that my job makes me think about a lot of perspectives and attitudes, and forces me to create ideas, which in turn end up contributing to me being a more complex person. I like complexity. The world is not black and white. There is no point in having only one ray of light, if it is like a rainbow with many paths, it’s definitely more interesting.
