Best of Leanne Morgan: From Stand-Up to Sitcom Star

Y’all, Leanne Morgan is having a major moment, and I am here for it! This week, I'm sharing the best of her visits to The Kim Gravel Show—and honey, it’s equal parts hilarious and inspiring. From stay-at-home mama to Netflix comedy star at 57, Leanne proves that success doesn’t come with an expiration date. She opens up about the real stuff—raising kids, surviving menopause, and completely reinventing herself in her fifties. She shares how her career blew up thanks to social media, decades of grit, and a whole lotta faith. This conversation is pure inspiration for anyone chasing their dreams, pivoting careers, or thriving in the second (or third!) act of life.
In this episode:
- Embracing life’s unpredictable timing
- How social media skyrocketed Leanne’s career
- Real talk on menopause and motherhood
- What Leanne and I were like as teens
- Why Leanne’s humor is so relatable
- Handling criticism with grace
- Inspiration to chase your dreams at any age
Here is my favorite quote from this episode:
“There's something about His timing that A is unpredictable and B is bigger than we ever dreamed.” — Kim Gravel
