Mommy-Phobia
This book is a work in progress that is very dear to my heart. Here’s a
synopsis:
I had prepartum depression. After five years of marriage to a wonderful
man, I was still petrified of getting pregnant. I was performing stand-up
comedy and was satisfied having Manhattan be my baby. When I finally
got pregnant, I would joke that pregnancy was like being in AA and the
fetus was my sponsor. Gaining weight, relinquishing the cocktail, and
having a tiny tenant reside in utero, was a journey like no other.
Pregnancy made me fat. It made me sober. It made me angry. It also, to my
sheer wonder, made me whole. Mommy-Phobia is a nonfiction narrative
that chronicles, with raw humor and candid sincerity, my transition from a
selfish life of wine and workouts, to one of selfless love and caring.
Oh Vey, What to Say?
Have you ever been asked to say something at a friend’s wedding or
birthday and you are at a loss of words?
Oh Vey, What to Say? is here to help. I have various comedy scripts that
have placed in writing competitions and would love to speak with you

friends and family members at weddings, birthday celebrations and Bar
Mitzvahs. Contact me and I'll make sure your speech is the one everyone
talks about the next day!
