My 3 y/o just came in while I had your blog open, pointed to your photo under “who am I?” and said “Look at that ladie’s hair! It’s beautiful.”

Oooh, I dunno! Let me bank a few hours of sleep between now and the weekend, and I’ll brainstorm some ideas. Off the top of my head I’m thinking of a short-run of mummy-themed podcasts that incorporate research, expert advice, comedy, and heaps of affirmation that mums are amazing. Topics could include early motherhood stuff like pregnancy, labour, feeding, post-partem depression as well as the other stuff further down the track (perhaps more your area than mine at this point since m’bebe is only 19 mo old).

Thanks darling Franny. It’s hardly fame (though my ego thanks you for indulging that fantasy), but it is the price for putting it out there in a personal way. I am really excited about doing future shows that aren’t going over that intensely emotional stuff. Thanks for your lovely support as always, you are a darling. xxx

Perhaps the “what next” could involve online collaboration with other comic mummies…

Poor Jen! Really feel for you having to “open up the wound” so often. I guess that’s the price you’re paying for fame. There’s always a price. I suppose that’s why so many other acts just aren’t as personal. It must take extraordinary bravery, but that’s why you connect with so many. If you didn’t feel it, then it wouldn’t have quite the same impact. Perhaps you could find another way to deal with it? It would have to be something personal, something that is just for you. A small breathing exercise after each performance maybe? A meditation?
While you’re making the choice to give every show your all, you need to look after yourself, emotionally as well as physically or you’ll find other more superficial ways to cope that won’t actually deal with the problem at all.
Remember, you’re not just a one show, one-woman-show. You have so many other shows in your future that don’t necessarily mean opening up that particular wound. You’ll be doing something else soon, perhaps one way of looking at it, is that this show is temporary. You have bag loads of material and talent to look forward to sharing with people. You’re sharing this show with as many people as possible so they can be a part of your journey, the very beginning of your story, so that they can be a part of the next part of your journey. The second album will be as hard hitting and great as the first, just the next part in the evolution of Jen-the-superstar!
So whenever you start to feel that emotional drain, turn the drain upside down into a shower of clean new ideas and let the creativity flow into your soul to replace what you feel is being lost.
I know you have enormous strength and creativity flowing through your veins. I know you’ll find a way that will work for you, both now and for the future.
Lots of love,
Fran

Hi Jenny-

Kiran here-who calls 4zzz and does the Norman character with you. Was wondering if you’d be interested in doing some more ” Edna/ Norman” stuff. Don’t know what that would look like mind you. I rang 4zzz today in case you were on later. Norman was going to ask Edna if she was going to take place in this years re-enactment of the crucifixion-Edna was to be offered the part of the virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene…

Anyhoo hope you’re well, best of luck in Melbourne,

Kind regards

Kiran
