Heather Brooker is a mother, actress, and Emmy Award-winning writer. She currently hosts the popular podcast, Motherhood in Hollywood, where she blends her signature sense of humor with a healthy dose of reality about parenthood and the entertainment business. Heather has had roles on many shows, most notably Grey’s Anatomy, The Office and The Mindy Project (I’m beyond jealous!)

I didn’t know what to expect in an interview with a Hollywood mom. I’ve been known to have some minor Hollywood obsessions here and there. So, I was kind of hoping for a new Hollywood BFF. Heather Brooker totally made all my dreams come true.

Heather is funny and engaging and totally down to earth. We talked about the glitz and glam of being an actress and mom in Hollywood – which is not so glitzty glammy in many cases,.. I know you’ll enjoy Heather’s stories and hearing the reality of life as an actress and mom.
