12: Mimi Hayes

Join me for an interview with Mimi Hayes, a comedian, author, and brain injury survivor who had a brain bleed / leak when she was 22. Hear how her journey has brought her back to teaching, but this time while working with other writers.

“I got into a lot of trouble. When you can’t walk. They threatened to put a baby monitor in my room with the whole camera because they didn’t trust me.”

“Hey, I forgot what that word was. And that's okay, because you didn't even know what I was gonna say in the first place. So what do you know, let's talk.”

“I started leaning into standup and realizing, what people enjoyed about me was my flaws.”

Learn more about Mimi: website, book, YouTube, writing classes.
