Episode 295: How Comedy Helped Me Find My Voice On and Off Stage |Morgan Lorraine Gallo | Comedian, Podcast host My Body, My Jokes!
Stand-up comic and eating disorder recovery advocate Morgan Lorraine Gallo joins Kara for a powerful and refreshingly honest conversation about healing, humor, and finding your voice. They talk about the highs and lows of the comedy world, the challenges of reshaping your identity mid-career, and what it means to choose recovery when the world rewards perfectionism. Morgan shares her journey from marketing to comedy to podcasting, how she's rethinking her relationship with social media, and why building community, online and in real life, is a critical part of recovery. This episode explores vulnerability, body image, and how women are reclaiming space through storytelling and shared experience.
“I’m turning my trauma into something that can help other people. It’s both scary and empowering. ”
