Her Journey from Tennessee to Hollywood, Pinto Beans, and Menopause with Leanne Morgan

Katie sits down with her friend and comedian, ‪@LeanneMorganComedy‬, for a warm, funny conversation about life, family, and their shared love of good country cooking. The two reminisce about humble beginnings and growing up with Southern comfort food - especially Leanne’s beloved pinto beans, cornbread with just a hint of sugar, fried chicken, and mac and cheese that remind her of home in Tennessee. Leanne also opens up about life on the road as a stand-up comedian, her role in the film You’re Cordially Invited alongside Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell, and the surreal moment of seeing her own name on a parking spot at the Warner Bros. studio lot while working on her sitcom. Along the way, Katie and Leanne talk honestly about motherhood, post-baby bodies, diet and exercise, and navigating perimenopause and menopause. They share plenty of laughs and relatable moments in a conversation that feels like catching up with old friends. 00:00 Big Leanne Welcome 01:38 Pinto Beans How To 03:26 Cornbread Debate 04:56 Chow Chow Souvenirs 07:06 Tour Eating Habits 08:38 Home Cooking Cravings 10:22 Country Food Roots 12:37 Kids and Grandmama 17:23 LA Sitcom Life 18:41 Reese and Will Movie 24:41 Hollywood Dreaming 26:29 Jewelry Parties Start 27:27 Comedy Beginnings 28:00 Deals and Setbacks 28:53 Authentic Mom Material 29:38 Pinch Me Success 32:19 Oprah Menopause Moment 33:54 Hormones and Fitness 36:42 Pilates and Cortisol 39:37 Core and Pelvic Floor 42:17 Breakfast and Protein 43:30 Comfort Food Roots 45:19 LA Eats and Erewhon 52:05 Warm Farewell Connect with Katie Lee Biegel: IG:   / katieleebiegel     / allonthetableofficial   TikTok:   / katieleebiegel     / allonthetableofficial   Newsletter: https://katieleekitchen.substack.com/ Recent recipes: https://katieleekitchen.com/ Current favorite finds: https://shopmy.us/shop/katieleebiegel Listen for free on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0J0AUWb...
