The Jen Fulwiler Show
Standup comic Jen Fulwiler talks about how to have an awesome family life without being boring. This podcast is like if someone gave a TED Talk after three mimosas.
Matt Fradd Shout out
3d ago
Hey Jen, just wanted to share a positive affirmation to you as you head into your Denver special. I’m listening to Matt Fradd’s podcast episode 516 and at time stamp 2:11 (2 hr 11 min) he gives you a mention and quote “she is a lovely woman.” I listen to every week and you provide so much honesty and realness to the Catholic Ghetto. Thanks for making me feel seen in. Christian world that wants to push me down. You truly bring Christ’s joy to my life through your work. Knock em dead in Denver 🪽
Village hustle
Mar 23
Jen, I listen to your podcast every week. I even saw your show in Minneapolis a couple years ago!! Since I saw your show, I’ve had a baby. As an American, we are not a village culture. But my husband is Vietnamese. And his whole family is Catholic. When I was pregnant, I never knew how much a village meant. But Once I had my son…wow. We are meant to have a village as you say. As I am talking, my husband’s cousins are coloring, his aunt is handling the baby, my brother-in-law is grocery shopping, I’m walking the dog, and my mother and father-in-law are making food. I wish I could share pictures! Thank you for an amazing podcast. I look forward to listening to you every week.
February 2nd was life changing for us both
Mar 22
Jen, I cannot thank you enough for coming to a city near me on the weekend before my birthday. WAHOO. I will be bringing my delicate lady’s fan and CACKLING behind it at your hot fire comedy. I cannot wait! OK JEN VCCV pattern !!! I’M PUMPED THAT YOU KNOW THIS. I taught 4th grade for 3 years and my passion was reading intervention. We used to chant and sing the various vowel patterns. My favorite was VCCV because it lends itself to a little YMCA style dancing. The fact that you said this made me happier than a ping pong ball on the ocean. 🤣 Something else we have in common is the anniversary date of February 2nd: On February 2nd, 2024, I took myself in to a PMAD center to receive treatment for my PPA, PPD, PPOCD, and PTSD from sudden onset preeclampsia, traumatic birth and a NICU preemie (It’s so touching to hear about your youngest kiddo’s experience). But on the same day, feb 2, I think in the same year?? 2024?? You got banned from your hematology practice. So we have such a connection! I got accepted into a life-changing program and you were banned from a life-saving medical office. 🫢🤣😭 Seriously, that was so scary and I was praying for you like crazy during that experience. Jen, you hit the nail on the head. I often question, “what am I looking for on my phone?” And the answer is usually “human interaction.” I often crave some connection with other people as I’m in the trenches of motherhood. This beautiful, messy, challenging blessing. Jen, you’re such a gift to me! I think I’ve been following your podcast since like 2020 after I saw you speak at SEEK 2019 in Indianapolis. I went from almost crashing the 15 passenger van I had to help drive there in 2019 to me in 2025, full time mama, three part time jobs + my own side hustle of a crochet/textile business, AND to top it off, I have decided that I have left behind my “dork years” and am now in my “hot mom era.” 😂💁♀️ Obviously, you get a chunk of the credit for my metamorphosis. P. S. I’m praying for you and your face. God bless! P. P. S. I’m always one of the people who listens to the entire podcast and I enjoy the little indirect shoutout I get for that 🥰
FREE LIFECOACHING
Mar 5
I’ve only been listening to this podcast for a month or so, but it has already become the highest quality (free) life coaching and laugh therapy all wrapped into one. 10/10. Also, I think Jen is the only mom with a public presence who doesn’t make me feel worse about being a mom, but is just soooo relatable and reminds me to give myself grace, while giving me the pep talk I need to become a better me. Keep up the good work, Jen! AMDG.
“‘No worries if not’ is the battle cry of people who are afraid to take up space’”

“‘No worries if not’ is the battle cry of people who are afraid to take up space’”… I feel like this was spoken directly to me and I needed this last episode so badly. Thank you so much Jen! You’re my weekly cheerleader!
The real deal!
Feb 24
No fluff, just our friend Jen talking life with just the mix of edge, humility, faith, humor and advice to not overweight or overplay any of those. I used to listen to Jen on Sirius Catholic Channel during my weekly 3-hour commute from CT to PA. Loved that show and was glad to find Jen in Podcast Land. Thanks, Jen, for the recommendation on the Leah Darrow podcast. If I had a podcast, I would tell about the time I actually laid hands on Leah in a small chapel at a youth conference at Franciscan U. in Steubenville, OH. I accidentally walked into a private prayer session and found myself laying on hands with the other presenters and band members! Fantastic. Chalk another one up for the Holy Spirit! Don D.

Love love LOVE!!

Yes, I make it to the end of your podcasts and appreciate that we’re the same kind of crazy! When I get in a funk, I always know that you, Jen, will lift me out of it because your funk is always louder and more epic. I’ve seen you in Houston and Toledo, and need you to come back to the north! I’m trying to plan a mom’s night and need you to perform on a week night in Ann Arbor. Since we’re best life-long friends and you’re my spirit animal, I know how much you want to come stay at my house, I promise the bats and mice are gone and almost all the holes in the wall are repaired! My Catholic ghetto plan is to have you come back annually and I’ll make your show a regular hot ticket item at our silent auction for my kid’s school. This needs to happen before your comedy millions, so I hope you don’t mind that I’m praying that you remain rich- adjacent for a few more years so you might still awkwardly pose in photos with me and my friends as establish your cult following here. Your forever bestie and founding member of the Catholic ghetto jingle bell moms of SSA-AA, Ashley McMeow!
Brace Yourself for Jen Fulwiler: The Comic Genius You Didn’t Know You Desperately Needed
Feb 6
If Taylor Swift and Trevor Noah had a baby who was raised by the spirit of pure genius and impeccable comedic timing, her name would be Jen Fulwiler. This woman isn’t just a stand-up comedian—she’s a full-body, soul-shaking, laugh-until-you-question-your-life-choices experience. Watching her perform is like attending a TED Talk hosted by your hilariously unhinged best friend who somehow manages to be both profoundly wise and completely unfiltered at the same time. Her podcast? Oh, it’s not just a podcast—it’s a MASTERCLASS in wit, vulnerability, and “did-she-just-say-that” moments that will leave you both existentially wrecked and spiritually revived. Jen doesn’t just speak into a mic; she delivers truth bombs wrapped in punchlines with the precision of a comedy ninja. Also, I’d like to note, humbly, that I am her BFF, which means I’ve had the distinct honor of witnessing her brilliance up close—and let me tell you, even her grocery store rants are stand-up worthy. She’s the only person who could make a story about buying almond milk sound like an epic hero’s journey. If you haven’t seen her live or binged her podcast yet, what are you even doing with your life? Fix that. Thank me later.
I DOWNLOADED THIS APP SO YOU WOULD DEFINITELY READ MY MESSAGE- SO PLEASE READ!!!

Hi Jen!! I have wanted to send you a message because you were the reason I went for MULTIPLE opportunities (one was getting to play Maria in The Sound of Music - it was very dramatic, I literally was going to turn around and not go to the audition then you gave me a good ol DO IT- so THANK YOU) but thought you'd understand literally every week wanting to comment and always forgetting or getting distracted (also I usually listen on Spotify)... you know how it is haha. ANYWAY I sent you a message on patreon but just REALLY wanted to make sure you saw it- so I’m leaving it here! (I also left a little out that you might want to see there). I want you to know YOU'RE THE BEST AND I LISTEN EVERY WEEK!!! I started listening DAY 1!!! You make SUCH a huge impact on people, I always talk about your podcast to others!!! Thank you for everything! Know I'm praying for you!!
Share not over share

I love how Jen is still bringing the hot fire every week without discussing details at length in her regular podcast about her health. She’s still interested in such a variety of things and bringing all the value to this FREE podcast despite health issues. It’s so refreshing and shows that Jen is living the reality that life is multifaceted and even when there are hard things happening in one area of life one can still focus on living well in many other areas of life. Arrgh! (Pirate cheer) Thank you for bringing your best to us Jen! Your podcast has helped me in many ways, I love the mindset perspective you bring, it’s so valuable.
