Growing up on the south side of the Windy City, Maggie didn’t always see herself as a comedian. But life had other plans.

In this lively chat, Maggie opens up about her journey into comedy, the role of social media in her career, and the delicate balance between motherhood and her passion for making people laugh.
The conversation also touches on deeper topics like sobriety and how having a sober mom has shaped her life and opportunities. If you’re looking for a blend of humor and heartfelt moments, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on the intersection of comedy and life’s many roles.
