  • Keep it light

    Used to love for the light heartedness and wit and giggles, but now it’s all politics and negativity and makes me feel so icky. I keep taking breaks and trying again because I like heather a lot but it’s just the same thing again and again.

  • Just keeping going.

    Heather has always inserted her political opinions in her show and I agree with all of them.

    Because being a brave human with a heart requires one to be political. She really has me this week saying the left is being censored on TikTok… because it was. The right has censored social media, especially under this administration. I’m upset too about what’s happening. Anyway, You fill my cup like a river. Stick up for what’s right and keep using comedy for good. We love you!
