Kristin Hensley & Jen Smedley

Two moms. (Not married.) (Actually, married. Just not to each other.) Four kids. Two husbands. Three dogs. Two glasses of wine- to start. Lots of laughs.

Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley have been performing, teaching, and writing comedy internationally for a combined 40+ years. They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day). After all, Jen currently has four days of dry shampoo in her hair and Kristin’s keys are still in her front door. They try, they fail, they support each other, and they mom as hard as they can.

Beyond their comedic endeavors, Kristin Smedley is also a recognized figure in the field of education for the blind, motivated by her own experiences raising two blind sons. She is a motivational speaker, focusing on resilience and inclusivity within education, and teaches strategies to overcome challenges and foster resilience in professional settings. Kristin has developed key presentations such as "SEE: Set Extraordinary Expectations" and "SEEING ADVERSITY AS AN ASSET," aimed at empowering individuals and illustrating the unique skills that visually impaired individuals bring to the workforce. Her involvement in significant advocacy efforts and her contributions to blindness research have established her as a leading voice in the community.
