Jessi Klein won an Emmy in 2015 for her work as the head writer of the popular comedy show “Inside Amy Schumer.” But while everyone else fled to the glamorous Emmy after-parties, Klein found herself backstage, pumping breast milk for her newborn. Her memoir “You’ll Grow Out Of It” looks at the challenges women face juggling family, work and social conventions and her struggles growing up as an awkward tomboy.

Guests:

Jessi Klein, head writer and executive producer, Comedy Central's "Inside Amy Schumer"; author, "You'll Grow Out Of It"
