How a Gen X Mom Is Navigating Modern Parenthood with Cara Rosellini on the Moms Unhinged Podcast

Remember that time you promised yourself parenting would get easier once they were teenagers? Yeah … Cara Rosellini is here to tell you otherwise.

In this episode, Andrea chats with Seattle-based comedian Cara Rosellini about balancing stand-up, marriage, and raising three teens with very large feelings. 

Cara talks about the shift from physical exhaustion to emotional exhaustion, the worries that come with raising teens in today’s world, and the surprising ways comedy helps her stay connected to it all.

She opens up about:

  • Moving from LA’s comedy scene back home to Seattle
  • Why parenting teenagers is mentally harder than toddlers ever were
  • Growing up Gen X (aka feral) and trying to parent in the age of tracking apps
  • Why she once changed a joke mid-set in front of her kid


Beneath it all is a mom who’s learning (like the rest of us) that empathy, humor, and a little perspective go a long way.

[00:00:00] The Reel that made her husband panic

Cara Rosellini: I’ve started doing this thing where I send my husband Instagram Reels on divorce just to spice it up a little bit. You know, it works. You should try it. I sent him this Instagram reel on something called marriage meetings. I sent it to him and he calls me like immediately. He said, Cara, what the hell was that?

I said, that was marriage meetings. He’s like, that couple splits up in the end, and I was like, oh, I probably should have finished that. But the good news is if I can’t finish an Instagram Reel that I’m compelled to send you. I’ll never follow through with divorce.

Andrea Marie: We are Moms Unhinged, a nationally touring standup comedy show. Join us in our podcast as we explore everything from motherhood, midlife, crisis, marriage, divorce, online dating, menopause, and other things that irritate us.

Hello everyone and welcome to Moms Unhinged. We are where we are, Moms Unhinged. And I am your host Andrea, and I am joined by the lovely Cara Rosselini from Seattle in the Seattle realm. So welcome Cara.

Cara Rosellini: The Upper Left. Hi, thank you. Thank you, thank you for having me.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, super fun. Super fun and super excited to talk to you. Yeah, you’ve been on a bunch of Moms Unhinged shows.

You’ve been out here in Colorado traveling and traveling around. So it’s exciting to be talking to you again. Because I know sometimes I’m like, people are off doing the shows and I don’t get a chance to say hi.

So this has been super fun.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, yeah. You know, I was just thinking right now I think. I think maybe we were on one show together, but it’s not like there’s a whole bunch of chitchat, you know? ‘Cause we’re all busy. So yeah, this might be the longest conversation we’ve had.

Andrea Marie: It could be.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Could be. There’s no kids around. This is just really nice.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah. Quiet, I’m in my garage.

Andrea Marie: It’s just, this is my whole ploy to get a chance to talk to people.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, yeah. Good. Well, I’m on board.

Andrea Marie: Other people, other people can listen in.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, I’m here.

[00:02:29] Getting her start on the LA comedy scene

Andrea Marie: So, yeah. So tell, I wanna find out first and talk a little bit about how you got into standup comedy.

Did you always want to do standup?

Cara Rosellini: You know, no. I mean, it wasn’t really on my radar though. I remember, I thought of this, I thought of this recently. I don’t know, maybe I was a teenager, maybe late teens, and my older brother and I were watching. I think it was Sarah Silverman and I didn’t even really, you know, I knew late night.

I knew like Tom Lehrer songs. He was the guy, I don’t know if in anybody’s, my dad and grandpa listened to him. So it is really old school and I’m way too kind of young to be a fan of his, ’cause they’re probably all 80. But I would listen to his songs and they were, he played piano. He’s like this brilliant physicist who is, I don’t know if he’s, I think he’s still a professor at Santa Cruz. But like for talent shows, I would do those songs and I would set up a whole like, story behind it.

Like one of the songs is Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, right. And so I mean, it was just like those type of goofy songs. But anyway, no, I moved. My brother was like, when we were watching Sarah Silverman, he’s like, oh, you should do that. And I’ve only realized that recently that that happened. But I moved to LA from Seattle when I, you know, after college and I was acting, I was doing a lot of theater, auditioning for mostly commercials.

And I was taking an improv class and I liked it, but I didn’t like the lack of preparation. I mean, I like it more now, but I remember driving home and I would kind of write jokes in my head based on what was done. And then I just was like, oh, I should try standup. ‘Cause I was in the, you know, belly of the beast of LA you know, able to just do standup anywhere.

And it was a fantastic way to come up. I loved it. I loved, I’m still really good friends with a lot of people from there.

Andrea Marie: That’s super fun. So I love that because it’s so true ’cause improv, you know, it’s just not always gonna be funny. Sometimes it’s funny, it’s more on accident where standup is, you know. Usually you’ve got a joke that’s going to work, you know, because it’s so good.

Cara Rosellini: That’s the hope anyway. That’s the hope. But yeah, and people often pair the two who are not in either.

Andrea Marie: Right?

Cara Rosellini: Sort of realm and I think they’re so different. They’re so different.

Andrea Marie: So different, yeah.

You just a whole different skillset for each of those. Yeah. Yeah, that’s funny.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, that’s where it begins.

Andrea Marie: That’s so cool. So how long were you in LA then?

Cara Rosellini: Oh my gosh. I was in LA for maybe, geez, 10, 15, 10 years, 15 years maybe.

Andrea Marie: Wow.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, I’m kind of, I should know this. But yeah, around there. And so then I moved up to Seattle where all of my family is from. And I took many, many years off of doing standup. And like when I’m in LA or when I was in LA I would, if I booked, you know, a theater show, I wouldn’t do standup for, you know, six months for the duration of the run.

And then I’d go back. So people are like, how long have you been doing standup? And it’s just not a straight line at all.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. For sure, for sure. Yeah, yeah. No, it’s definitely, when you take time off, it feels sometimes almost like starting over, you know?

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, I know, I know. It gives me anxiety even if I’m off for a week or two.

Andrea Marie: I know.

Cara Rosellini: I just don’t feel right.

Andrea Marie: I know I’m scared that I’m like, do I even know my jokes?

Cara Rosellini: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: I don’t.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

[00:06:33] Why “it gets easier” never really happens

Andrea Marie: Yeah, that is so fun. So fun. And now you have three kids. Three teenage kids.

Cara Rosellini: I do.

Andrea Marie: Teenage kids. Wow. 13.

Cara Rosellini: 15 and 17. Yeah, yeah. There’s like, I always had this idea that when they were little, oh, when they get older it’ll be so much easier to, you know, go out and do standup or do anything ultimately. And it is.

Andrea Marie: Or sleep.

Cara Rosellini: I don’t, I feel that. I don’t wanna tell my younger friends with young kids, but it, for me, it is 10 times harder.

Like, I feel like I am in a incredibly hard stage of parenting, you know, and they’re like, good kids just doing teenage things. And it’s like, wow. And the sort of worry and stress and how do you navigate, you know?

Andrea Marie: It becomes, it’s a like physical difficulty when they’re young, you know, you’re not getting sleep, things like that. But they, then when you’re older, the mental.

Cara Rosellini: Oh my God. Oh my God.

Andrea Marie: It’s terrifying.

Cara Rosellini: It’s unparalleled. I can’t think of anything to even equate it to, and you, I would’ve never believed anybody who told me that it would be like this. And I’m not putting it down. I wouldn’t change anything like, don’t get me wrong, but yeah it’s taxing.

[00:08:08] The “feral” Gen X childhood vs. today’s

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Well, and especially like we were just talking about beforehand, the way parenting has evolved from when we were young to now, I mean, that’s it too, right? There’s so many differences in what’s available to them, and that’s the scary thing.

Cara Rosellini: Yes. I mean, I think a lot of us wanna be, you know, a more evolved parent than our own.

Andrea Marie: Mm-hmm.

Cara Rosellini: But you know, I was the youngest of four, or I am the youngest of four kids, and my oldest sister is nine years older than I am. And my parents were older. I was definitely of the Gen X generation and that’s how I was raised, which is basically feral.

And now it’s just like you have to, I mean, you can just watch everything they’re doing. And I don’t even like that. Like I’ll tell my kids, you know, I don’t need to know everything. You don’t have to tell me everything. Sometimes I prefer not to.

Andrea Marie: I know it’s too much.

Cara Rosellini: It is.

Andrea Marie: Right? It is much.

Cara Rosellini: It is.

Andrea Marie: I know my son told me some things and I was like, okay, all right. I’m trying to be cool. Trying to be cool here.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah. Totally, don’t freak out. Don’t.

Andrea Marie: I know.

Cara Rosellini: Oh, okay. Yeah so I don’t know. I don’t envy, I don’t envy kids my kids’ age. Like I don’t envy that generation at all. I mean. I joke a lot about, you know, being a Gen X kid, but it was just so, so free and so fun and so present, I guess. You know, in every moment you were just there. It was great.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah. And now kids are just, yeah, they have a lot of distractions. What’s the gender, boy, girl? Or what’s the?

Cara Rosellini: Sure, sure. Yeah, it goes, the oldest is a girl, the middle is a girl, and then my youngest is a boy.

[00:10:08] Parenting emotionally aware teens as a Gen X mom

Andrea Marie: And then how do you think that plays into the dynamic there with the teenagers? Is it challenging?

Cara Rosellini: Well, I mean, yeah. You know, like now we’re supposed to let them have their emotions and stuff, you know?

Andrea Marie: We didn’t get that.

Cara Rosellini: No, no, no. I’m still not allowed to, with my mom, I’m like, uh, uh. And so they’re vocal and they have their emotions and I let them have them, you know, and I don’t know.

I don’t, my son’s 13 and he’s also the youngest, and he’s pretty relaxed. So I don’t know if it’s a gender thing. I don’t know if it’s where they fall, but the oldest, you definitely have some pretty hearty, hearty emotions.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Cara Rosellini: And outbursts, which I actually, in the moment I’m like, oh, good lord.

But I actually really love because they will not get walked on by anybody. And that’s pretty cool.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that’s good. That is good. I think definitely there’s a bigger sense of self for the, I don’t know, maybe that’s, I always felt like I just was trying to fit in all the time. But maybe that’s, I don’t know if that’s different now, or not.

Cara Rosellini: I mean, I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s kid to kid. I don’t know. You know? I mean with my My daughters in particular, they’re very different, but they’re also very sort of who they are and they don’t really make apologies for it. Which again, I mean, growing up it was like, oh, I mean, how many times a day do I say sorry?

Like, you know, and I know that’s a running trope and whatnot, but I think. I think that generation has turned the corner, and I think that’s a good thing. Sometimes I think, you know, you could apologize.

Andrea Marie: You could take a, just a smidgen of responsibility for this one. You know.

Cara Rosellini: Totally.

Andrea Marie: This one’s kind of on you.

Cara Rosellini: This is deserving of an apology, but they’re not gonna apologize for someone bumping into them. You know.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Right, right.

Cara Rosellini: I do love that. For that whole generation. I think it’s generational. Who knows?

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Who knows? It’s always fun to kind of compartmentalize it all.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah. This is true.

This is true.

[00:12:52] The totally unvetted roommate story that led to marriage

Andrea Marie: And now, so you were in LA and then when did you meet your husband?

Cara Rosellini: Oh my gosh. A long time ago, like when I moved to LA, we were just yeah, we were actually roommates. Like and this is even really kind of interesting ’cause I don’t know if, I mean, I guess I let my kids do this, but this was of the time I just moved into a random house with a random woman who was renting that house out.

Do you know what I mean?

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Now there’s background checks. There’s all kinds of, you know, you need like financial credit scores to, you know, it’s all.

Cara Rosellini: You know, you need to know their menstrual cycle, like everything now. But then it was, I don’t even think my parents drove me. I think my sister drove me down and dropped me off. And anyway, he ended up renting one of the other rooms. And so then we were, I mean, we were just friends for quite a while and then, yeah, and then we started.

Dating sort of, it wasn’t, again, it wasn’t a straight line. Neither of us were sort of ready to be dating. We were kind of both in these positions of like, I’m not interested in marriage, I’m not interested in, you know, all that stuff. Yeah, and then we just dated for a really long time and have been married ever since.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. So how many years of marriage? And then how long have you known him?

Cara Rosellini: Oh, okay. So let’s see. Oh, well we’ve been married 20 years and then, I mean, I think I met him like five or six years. Five years before that maybe.

Andrea Marie: Wow.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. So a long time together. And you, so he’s seen you, well, I guess you’ve always had the performance aspect of your I was gonna say, he is seen you evolve and start like you, so you’ve always done performing and stand up and things like that. Now, is he a performer as well?

Cara Rosellini: No, not at all. Like, I mean, he he is the funniest person I know. And think, I’m not even the only person that would say that. I think many other people would. No, but he is very, he works in, I don’t even really know what he does. It’s kind of one of the, I mean, he worked when we were in LA at the gas company and did a lot of different, you know, in environmental in, so he’s very versed with utilities.

So now he sells tech to utilities or I don’t know, something like that. I mean, it’s, I could, I should know exactly a title and just say a title.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Hard to keep track.

Cara Rosellini: It is. I mean, he sells tech services to utilities.

Andrea Marie: Yeah okay. That sounds.

Cara Rosellini: It’s really what it is.

Andrea Marie: Let’s just make it up.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, yeah. All I know is that it’s a really basically relationship based sort of work.

So it’s not like, Hey, can I sell you this? And that’s the type of guy he is. He’s a very just a really good guy and everybody likes him type of guy ’cause he’s transparent. He’s not trying to, he’s just a good guy that way. Do know what I mean? But he is incredibly versed in, inndup.

I mean, he’s come, he’s seen more standup than anybody.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. So he’s supportive of your career, what you’re doing.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, I mean, I’ve thought about this a lot because we, you know, our kids we’re looking down the barrel of college and stuff like that. And I do work. Aside from comedy as well? A little bit. But I mean, there’s never been a point where he’s doubted what I do or said I should stop doing it or, he’s been nothing but supportive 100% of the time, which is pretty cool, you know?

Andrea Marie: That’s pretty amazing.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah. And you know, I’m the same with him when he goes on different endeavors, so it just.

Andrea Marie: Mm-hmm.

Cara Rosellini: It just works. It just works. Yeah. I mean, day to day, you know, we’ll see.

Andrea Marie: Day to day. There’s in the most general, there’s always.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, yeah.

Andrea Marie: Getting down into the weeds. Let’s talk about last Tuesday or whatever.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, high level.

Andrea Marie: I know. Yeah. Good, that’s great. That’s great. ‘Cause we were talking a little bit about how there are within Moms Unhinged, there’s a fair number of us are divorced.

And I have a joke that I think, you know, you start mining your marriage for material and you notice a few things.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: you’re like, oh wow, that actually is irritating and I’m gonna tell a bunch of people about it, you know?

Cara Rosellini: Yeah. I mean, yeah, I could see.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah.

Cara Rosellini: I don’t remember. I’m trying to think. I was up right after you, so I’m trying to think of your jokes. I was too busy going over my own set.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. No it is a challenge, you know, ’cause you talk about your husband on stage and, you know, have a few jokes about him. And I did the same too. I started standup when I was married and then did get divorced in the middle. Or whatever, middle, somewhat.

And we did have to have a conversation and I was like, well, you know what? This actually happened. I’m not exaggerating this, and I had to get a little clearance on what I could talk about. He was like, well, could you just mention that we’re amicable or that I’m a good guy? You know, somehow get that in. Okay, I get it.

Cara Rosellini: pretty funny.

Andrea Marie: I’m like, and get your own show. Okay.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah. No, you do that on your time.

Andrea Marie: He’s got plenty of material I’m sure he could talk about with me. Yeah. So that’s great, and how about your kids? Are your kids supportive of what you do? And ’cause you do talk about them a little bit. Yeah.

[00:19:31] When your kid ends up in the crowd during your set

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, yeah. I mean they don’t really know any of the jokes I do. And I probably would not. I’ve switched one around once when one of my kids was there. I did switch it around, just because I mean, it’s such an outrageous joke that. But you know, they’re kids. So you don’t wanna, I don’t know, hurt feelings.

Andrea Marie: They’re big. They’re big, big feelings that they’re gonna come.

Cara Rosellini: Am I saying? They’re enormous, huge feelings. And I do, particularly now that they’re teenagers, a lot of people are like, oh, well, you know, I bet that’s a lot of material for you. And I’m like no, like, I mean, down the road maybe I can talk about some stuff, but there are a lot of things that I’m like, oh no, I wouldn’t.

I just, I wouldn’t do that. You know, I’ve said something before on stage and I was talking to a comedian in the back right before, and he’s a good friend of mine and we were just laughing about, I can’t remember what it was. Something about it was close to Halloween and one of my kids was going out to a party.

Was dressed, you know, as they do in their, outfits that, you know, are a little different than what I would’ve worn at that age. And I said something about it on stage and it was super benign. It wasn’t a big, it wasn’t a big, I can’t remember what it was, but it was, again, pretty benign.

But it bothered me after that I even said that in a flippant, kind of joking way. And so from then I’ve really been, you know, I kind of try to like to be loose and let myself say things off the top of my head when I’m on stage. But I kind of thought, oh, that’s, I’m not gonna do that around my kids anymore.

Andrea Marie: Right I was always worried. My kids didn’t see my standup until they were past 18.

Yeah, because I was always worried that they would feel like, oh, mom did not like parenting us. You know? Or, you know, ’cause I would say like, parenting is so hard. It’s so hard, you know? And it is. It is so hard, but you love it.

And like, so it’s just was such a, I was worried I was gonna scar ’em for life if they saw. I didn’t upload some of the stuff to YouTube. I didn’t, I didn’t put it out there anywhere. And like, you know, when I would say, ’cause I have a joke about I wish. I was a sea turtle, and they just leave their kids on the beach and head back out to sea. You know.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Like, you know, I would hate to have my kid, like my 13-year-old think, oh God, I’m such a burden to my mom. You know? And it’s not that, it’s like, it’s all of that, right? It’s just, it’s hard. But you love it and you wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. And I would fight a bear for my children, but yeah.

Cara Rosellini: The day to day, it’s tough.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Cara Rosellini: I don’t know. I think it’s funny, one of my daughters, we were having dinner the other night and she said, God, I can’t, oh, my husband and I had just gone outta town for one night to Leavenworth to this, to hike this hill or whatever. And we were laughing like, oh, ’cause the kids were just being goofy and it was all funny, but I was like, oh, take me back to Leavenworth.

And my kid goes, she’s like it’s so annoying. And it was in good fun. She’s like, it’s really annoying when parents say, you know, complain about their kids ’cause like, we didn’t ask to be born. I mean, come on. I was like kind of valid point.

Andrea Marie: True. That is true.

Cara Rosellini: That was a funny.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, it is true. Also, you could unload the dishwasher, okay.

Cara Rosellini: Exactly. Exactly, finish your damn laundry.

Andrea Marie: I know.

Cara Rosellini: Oh Jesus.

Andrea Marie: Oh man. So, so challenging.

[00:23:38] Her most unhinged parenting moment

Andrea Marie: So yeah. One thing I also like to ask, to get into is what has been one of your most unhinged times? Like where you just thought you might lose it? I mean, I know there’s, I know with teenagers it’s probably a lot.

Cara Rosellini: Oh yeah, like a half hour ago.

Andrea Marie: One to 10 times. Yeah, one to 10.

Cara Rosellini: A really unhinged moment with my kids. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I mean, there, there are a lot because, my kids, the girls don’t get their huge emotions from nowhere, you know?

But one time, and we do laugh about this now, they were like that really sweet spot age, like the 10, eight and six or something. You know, something like when they still like you and wanna be around you and they don’t really talk back.

I don’t know. We were making cookies, I think it was like Thanksgiving time, and we were gonna make cookies. And my mom used to work at this homeless shelter, so we were gonna bring these cookies down to this homeless shelter or whatever. And they were fighting over the cookies.

They were fighting over something, but it just got in so heated and I was so upset, and I was like, if you don’t stop it right now, you’re gonna be homeless and you’re gonna be living in a refrigerator box right outside this house. And they’re like, whoa I’m like, I just crossed like five lines right there, I mean.

Andrea Marie: You are gonna be homeless.

Cara Rosellini: Because you’re not gonna live in our house and I bring up a refrigerator box like, what is wrong with me?

Andrea Marie: God.

Cara Rosellini: I am sure that will come up in therapy. So that was, wish I could taken that back, but.

Andrea Marie: It’s so funny what comes up. It’s just what makes you so, and then you look back and you’re like, what was the problem? I don’t know.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah. I mean sometimes doesn’t it just come down to all the noise coming out of their mouths?

Andrea Marie: Yeah, it is. It’s so much. You’re kinda low on sleep probably.

You probably haven’t had a lot to eat. You know, there’s not always it’s not always, I wasn’t always getting served a regular meal.

Cara Rosellini: Right. This is true, this is true.

Andrea Marie: My gosh. Oh my gosh. Do they remember that moment?

Cara Rosellini: You know, I don’t know. I should ask them.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Cara Rosellini: I’d be really, really curious. I’d be curious to see what they remember in the past? Like the big, the big offenses that I’ve done, you know what I mean?

Andrea Marie: You’re right, right. Yeah. It is funny what they remember. My kids latched onto this fact, the fact that one time they were fighting I let them go to Walgreens, which was like three blocks away on their own. They were a little older and like they had some money and they had some sort of spending limit.

And Devin went a little over the spending limit ’cause he bought too much candy and then they were fighting about that. I was like, that’s it. No more trips to Walgreens for a month. And they were like, you know, and so now they were like, what? Then it became like, well, Devin spent a dollar more to get a twofer deal, and mom freaked out, you know?

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, they, they forget the arguing.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, they forget the fact that they were just going at it and like just fighting and fighting and fighting. And I just couldn’t take it anymore, you know? So yeah, it becomes, mom doesn’t like BOGO deals.

Cara Rosellini: Right, right. Exactly. Exactly. Something totally different.

Andrea Marie: Yeah,

Cara Rosellini: I know, I know. It’s so true.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, it’s comparing the memories. Any other, any other moments that stand out in you mind?

Cara Rosellini: I mean, there are so many, I can’t think of like a, I don’t know. I mean, a lot of times I’ll start going off on something.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Cara Rosellini: And they’ll be like, are you stressed out? Or something like, oh yeah, it’s all my fault.

Andrea Marie: I know.

Cara Rosellini: It’s all me.

Andrea Marie: I know.

Cara Rosellini: But now I am it, you know, maybe they’re right, but it’s just so humbling. It’s the most humbling. That’s the last few years and I’m, I feel like I’m right in the middle of just being so humbled constantly. You know? It is really, whew.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Cara Rosellini: But

Andrea Marie: It’s amazing as many kids make it to adulthood as they do, you know, it’s like.

Cara Rosellini: That’s true. That’s a good point. But thank God for standup because there is something cathartic and I do notice if I don’t do standup for a week or two. I get so, I get really, really wound up and if I go and I feel so much better after.

Andrea Marie: Well, and it’s almost like even though you’re not talking about them as much on stage it is. It is something that’s just for us. That’s the kind of thing that I think is so beautiful about it.

Cara Rosellini: Yeah, yeah.

Andrea Marie: It’s just for you.

Cara Rosellini: And I feel like there are very few things in my life that I do where it is every ounce of focus is on that thing. My brain isn’t going over here. I’m thinking about, you know, taxes or a doctor’s appointment for my 13-year-old or whatever it may be, and that is so, oh my gosh. It’s like utopic just to sit in that complete presence. I love. I think that’s a big draw for me.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s awesome. I love that so much. Well, this has been so much fun, Cara. Why don’t you tell people, yeah. It has where people can find you online, where can they best connect with you? And we’ll put these in the show notes.

Cara Rosellini: Oh yeah, for sure. Well, my website is cararosellini.com and then Instagram also @cararosellini, Facebook, Cara Roselinni. Well, I don’t know if I have shows this week, but I don’t know if anyone will see it by then.

Andrea Marie: Be coming out in I mean, I imagine you could say, I have shows this week and it would be valid almost anytime.

Cara Rosellini: When? Yeah, I have lots of shows this week. I’m not gonna tell you where.
