Advertise on podcast: Jay, Interrupted

This week was packed with just about every emotion possible - I got back onstage after 13 years and had a better night than I ever imagined, spoke up when it wouldv'e been easier to stay quiet, had an important conversation that helped repair something I thought might stay broken, and found myself really noticing the difference between people who lift you up and people who make you shrink. This episode is about trusting your voice, knowing when something is worth saying, recognizing the people who genuinely want you to win, and realizing that life doesn't always come in neat little 'good' or 'bad' weeks. Sometimes, the week is just incredibly full. If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, like, rate, review and share Jay, Interrupted - and come hang out with my on Instagram at @itsjayinterrupted.

Starting something is exciting. Finishing it is where things get repetitive, boring, and weirdly difficult. This week, I’m talking about the part nobody really glamorizes: the final stretch. From memorizing my stand-up set in the car to all the things we leave “almost done,” this episode is about why the last 10% matters, how follow-through builds self-trust, and knowing the difference between something that needs more work and something that simply needs to be finished.

Episode 20 has me thinking about confidence — and why maybe it doesn’t come before you do the scary thing. Maybe it comes after. This episode is about collecting proof: recording the episode, sending the pitch, getting back onstage, trying before you feel fully ready, and realizing that confidence is often just a stack of evidence that says, I’ve done hard things before. I can do this too. If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, like, rate, review, and share Jay, Interrupted — and come hang out with me on Instagram at @itsjayinterrupted.

Between two kids at two different schools, two sets of emails, work, life, errands, a comedy set, podcasts, and the never-ending list of things that somehow regenerate overnight… I’ve accepted something: I am never going to be fully caught up. This episode is about the pressure to finish everything before we let ourselves relax, why “done” might be a completely unrealistic goal, and learning to live your actual life while the list is still unfinished.

This week somehow included helping someone through something hard, taking the kids somewhere new, reconnecting with an old friend, building a stand-up set from scratch, preparing to emcee two fundraisers…and handling a dog-diaper emergency I was wildly unprepared for. This episode is about all the different versions of ourselves we’re asked to be, the people we show up for, the things we’re still learning, and why maybe being “well-rounded” looks a lot less polished than we think.

I just got back from an incredible weekend at the iHeartRadio Music Festival — and immediately needed some quiet time.

Twelve years after my last stand-up set, I’m walking back into the same room — and apparently deciding this is a perfectly reasonable thing to do at 43. This episode is about returning to something you once loved, being willing to be rusty, and realizing that when you start again, you’re not starting from zero. You bring every lesson, mistake, scar, story, and bit of courage you picked up along the way.

I’ve changed my mind about a lot of things — comfort, friendship, success, peace, timelines, and what I thought my life was supposed to look like.

I turned 43 this week with a broken foot, a surprise birthday, and a realization I didn’t expect: sometimes the way we think other people see us has a lot more to do with what we’re still carrying ourselves. This episode is about friendship, judgment, the people who show up, and what happens when you finally realize the story in your head may no longer be true.
