In this episode, we discuss growing up in Rockland County, New York, wanting to write for television, being an emotional child, having strict parents, being a nude model for an art class, having a gender neutral name, just wanting to be happy, and so much more! You don’t want to miss our discussion about Joey’s experience having cancer in her late 20’s. Give this episode a listen!
