What does stand-up comedy have to do with stepping into your power? More than you might think. In this episode of Modern Wisdom, Dawn Ricci sits down with Holly Shaw, a stand-up comedian, hypnotherapist, and performance anxiety expert (NBC) who has lived her life on stage, from acting on television and film, to dancing professionally, to now lighting up comedy clubs across the Bay Area.

Holly’s newest book, Queen Lessons: What Stand-Up Comedy Taught Me About Dealing with Life’s Hecklers and Finding Courage in Your Queen Years, is part memoir, part roadmap for women entering their “queen years” with unapologetic courage, laughter, and grace. With captivating stories from the unpredictable world of comedy, Holly shows us that life’s toughest moments can become our most powerful material.

Whether you’re navigating career shifts, personal reinvention, or just trying to silence life’s hecklers, this episode is a reminder that laughter is medicine — and that your crown is waiting.
