In this raw, hilarious, and deeply human conversation, we sit down with Amanda Graham, author of "Good Stuff to Read When You’re About to Lose Your Shit". From surviving a cult, navigating life with autism and ADHD, and raising a child as a single mum in the middle of nowhere, to facing grief, career losses, and some downright bizarre life curveballs — Amanda has turned pain into power and comedy gold.
We unpack her new book’s unfiltered wisdom on grief, money, assholes, and life’s absurdities, exploring how humor, insight, and unconventional “cheat codes” can carry us through the messiest seasons. Along the way, Amanda shares behind-the-scenes stories of breaking into comedy in her 40s, landing deals with Olivia Colman, and working alongside Hollywood and Disney legends — all while staying unapologetically herself.
If you’ve ever felt like life is a dumpster fire and you’re just trying not to melt, this episode is your laugh-out-loud survival kit.
