My Honeydew this week is Hannah Berner! Check out her new special, “We Ride at Dawn,” out on Netflix now. You can also catch her on her podcasts “Berner Phone” and “Giggly Squad.” Hannah joins me to highlight the lowlights of her childhood, becoming a nationally ranked tennis star, and how it led to her pivot into comedy. Starting as early as eight years old, Hannah talks about the dedication she had to the sport of tennis, leaving middle school in Brooklyn, New York, to attend a tennis academy in Florida. From playing on a boys' team due to Title IX to playing collegiately for Wisconsin, Hannah sheds light on the pressure, emotions, and mental burnout that came with having such high expectations placed on herself. We discuss how being hit by a car ended Hannah’s collegiate tennis career, allowing her to really find comedy, and the joy and fulfillment that have come with it.
