Julia Gets Wise with Carol Burnett

On the season finale of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down in person with 90-year-old groundbreaking actress, comedian, and writer Carol Burnett. Carol tells Julia how she learned to accept rejection, what Lucille Ball taught her about being a boss, and how a spontaneous ride on a beer truck led to her landing a CBS special with Julie Andrews. And Carol gives Julia a compliment that makes Julia cry, which leads to a touching conversation between Julia and her mom Judith.

Well done

The contents where definitely relevant for me, and it was fun to laugh along! I have Julia does more she’s definitely a treasure.

Fantastic!

I have loved the both of you for as long as I can remember. I’m 63. Bravo to you both, and molti grazie for all the love and laughs you give.

Wiser, is so well put together. Awesome.

What a Joy!

Thank you for this beautiful episode and your entire podcast. There is such grace and wisdom and love in each woman’s journey and hearing how Julia (a force of awesomeness in her own right) interacts with each woman is always heartwarming.
Plus, the mother-daughter conversations at the end are priceless.
(💝 Absolutely all the stars & all the thumbs up 💝)

Laugh Out Loud!

Binged all episodes in two days. A delightful romp! Now I must relisten and take notes of all I want to remember. At 65, I took in all the advice these Grande Dames put forth and oh, isn’t Julia a hoot and her Mom a treasure in her own right. Thanks for the joy.
