***MORE ABOUT TRACY DEGRAAF COMEDY***

Hi Friends, Tracy here. My husband and I survived raising 5 boys and there were so many funny stories along the way. Now is my time to "show and tell." 🥳 I put these stories in my book and on stage in my comedy act. It's so much fun.

If you're new to my comedy, here's a little about me.
I'm from the Chicago area and I perform my one-woman clean comedy show “Life Happens Laugh Anyway” nationwide for both corporate and non-profit organizations.
My comedy combines two of my passions: Christianity and breast cancer awareness. (I was diagnosed in 2016 with stage 1 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma...a fancy name for breast cancer. Currently, I'm doing great and am cancer free!)
As a Christian and a breast cancer survivor, I use my platform to inspire women spiritually and motivate them to schedule their breast cancer screenings. I like to tell women “I want you to know Jesus, but I don’t want you to meet Him face-to-face just yet.” 🙏❤️
I pull material from my experiences as a wife, mother of five grown sons and middle-aged woman. I love performing for Girls Night Out Events, Women’s Conferences, Fundraisers, Breast Cancer Awareness Events, Cancer Survivor Events and more. I was trained for comedy at The Second City in Chicago. I'm happily married to my husband, Ron (a.k.a. Muffin) since 1989 and we are now empty nesters! 😁 We can't stop smiling. Our boys are spread out between Colorado, Illinois and Indiana.
I publish a weekly podcast called Life Happens Laugh Anyway with my bff Cathrine and it is so much fun. We started the podcast when the world shut down during Covid since all of my shows were canceled. It's a hoot. We tackle a new topic

Now, back to Episode 168...
How is it that Americans have been pooping like animals for nearly 250 years when all along the bidet has been available? Sorry about TMI on this episode, but everybody does it, we just have the courage or stupidity to talk about it. ;0)
On today's episode, we will cover...our own personal stories about bidets PLUS:
The history of bidets
The health benefits of bidets
Bidet buying options
Inspiration: Psalm 51:7 "Pure me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."
CTA: Stop pooping like an animal and CLEAN YOUR BOOTY. Get a bidet.

Here is a great example of people justifying their actions in the name of "science" or the "greater good." These people conducted a research experiment on human beings and the way they did it was totally unethical. Hmmmm. Go figure!
