Have you experienced negative self talk? For comedian and writer DeAnne Smith dealing with hecklers is an everyday job, but what happens when it’s your own voice doing the heckling?

Linda catches up with DeAnne and a sweet chihuahua called Rudy to talk about being terrified of everything, and how they’ve learned to reframe nervousness and anxiety to help in all aspects of life.  Plus, they open up about open relationships, polyamory and why growing older is awesome. 

You can find DeAnne here on IG @deanne_smith plus see their live shows www.deannesmith.com AND DeAnne also features in Netflix's Comedians of the World Canada & Hannah Gadsby’s Gender Agenda available now!
