Welcome back, WIFs!
This week, Lauren and Michelle are joined by Chicago stand up comedian Maggie Hughes DePalo for a conversation that proves laughter might just be one of the best wellness tools we have. Known for her deadpan delivery and wildly relatable observations about marriage, motherhood, aging, and everyday life, Maggie has built a devoted audience by finding humor in the moments most of us are quietly living through.
Together, the sisters and Maggie dive into the absurdities of modern life. They discuss why comedy connects us, what makes everyday experiences so universally relatable, and how learning to laugh at ourselves can make life's challenges feel a little lighter.
The conversation also explores Maggie's journey into stand-up comedy, her thoughts on today's culture, the comedians who inspired her, and what it's like building a career around telling the truth—just with better punchlines.
Press play, get cozy, and join the conversation about finding humor in the chaos, embracing imperfection, and remembering that nobody has life completely figured out—even if it looks that way online.
Because sometimes the most comforting realization is that we're all just doing our best... and hopefully laughing along the way.
Guest: Maggie Hughes DePalo — Chicago stand up comedian, storyteller, and co-founder of All That Good Stuff Comedy.
