Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations.
Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
In this week’s episode, Comedian Dulcé Sloan sits down with Bridget for a conversation covering a wide range of topics including her approach to performing stand-up, dealing with rejection in the comedy industry, being a strong person out of necessity, how we all got traumatized as a planet during COVID, the importance of being nicer to yourself, and why she believes cancer will never be cured. They also cover how Dulcé’s manager tricked her into writing a book, the struggle of balancing a successful career with a desire for marriage and children, the realities of fertility drugs, why being strong is exhausting, and her favorite game to play with other comics, Marry, F*ck, Quit Comedy. Check out Dulcé’s book Hello, Friends!: Stories of Dating, Destiny, and Day Jobs.
