CONVENE: What Parenting Has Taught the Comics

What Parenting Has Taught the Comics: Michael Kosta in Conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy

Why is parenting chaotic, joyful, exhausting and f*cking hilarious all at once? In this lively conversation, stand-up comic, one of the Daily Show hosts, and dad of two girls Michael Kosta sits down with clinical psychologist and mom of three Dr. Becky Kennedy to discuss how they raise kids, juggle careers and prioritize their own well-being. They’ll explore how humor becomes a survival tool and a powerful way to break the stigma around parental stress, anxiety and mental health — sharing a few hot tips along the way.
