Gentle Parenting… Unless You're Naked in a Public Toilet with Amy Hetherington
This week on Behind the Fold, I’m joined by the incredible Amy Hetherington: award-winning comedian, business owner, and mom to one fiercely extroverted toddler. Amy recently wrapped up a whirlwind 50-show tour across 30 towns in Australia, all while navigating the chaos of co-sleeping, snack stops, and public toilet mishaps with a toddler in tow. In this episode, we dive deep into how motherhood has transformed her sense of humour, career ambition, and most importantly, her definition of success. Amy’s journey is proof that doing it your way, with humor and heart, is always worth it.
Here’s what we get into:
- 02:05 – Amy’s whirlwind tour of 50 shows across Australia with a toddler in tow, and why she makes every minute away from home count.
- 06:05 – The story behind “Proud as Punch” and how motherhood has made Amy proud of life’s smallest, most hilarious wins.
- 08:18 – The comment that sparked her fire and led to her most ambitious tour yet.
- 14:14 – The chaos and community of baby-friendly comedy shows, featuring mid-set breastfeeding, supportive best friends, and toddlers who think sound checks are normal.
- 17:38 - The double standards women face in comedy and how Amy navigates the pressure to be the perfect parent, especially in today’s hyper-critical online world.
- 25:27 – Why Amy believes flexibility trumps traditional hustle and how community shapes her goals more than metrics ever could.
I hope this episode reminded you that laughter really is one of our greatest tools, especially in the chaos of motherhood and ambition. Share this with a fellow mom who could use a smile today, and I’ll see you next time!
