I’m Fine, It’s Fine – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week, we’re joined by the wildly funny and refreshingly grounded Heather Shaw, and we honestly didn’t stop laughing. From her plans for escaping Kentucky after finding love, to what it’s like headlining road gigs surrounded by 60-year-old retirees in Naples, Heather shares how she built a successful comedy career without the classic trauma origin story. She talks ADHD, getting sober in Austin (no small feat), resisting anxiety culture, and living life with zero pressure and maximum rest.

If you’ve ever felt like comedy only belongs to the broken and bruised, this episode is your permission slip to just be funny and whole. It’s smart, unhinged, and a little too honest, just how we like it.

Amber and Melanie dive deep into the underrated magic of boredom. The two of them, no guests, no snacks, and apparently no dopamine. They talk about how the pressure to constantly produce and perform robs us of the stillness needed for true creativity. From setting boundaries as entrepreneurs to unlearning toxic hustle culture, they explore what it means to rest on purpose, reclaim quiet moments, and stop mistaking productivity for worth. Expect honest laughs, a few existential wake-up calls, and maybe even a coloring book recommendation. Take a breath, put your phone down, and let your brain get bored, it might just be the most productive thing you do today.

Our producer Kaylee opens (cries a lot) up about the complicated grief of losing a husband to addiction and how it doesn't play out like the typical loss of a spouse. She shares how it's helped inform her approach the being a death doula and how she shows up in a room for others. Her story is very layered and this only scratched the surface. We are grateful to her for opening up when it's not in her nature to share publicly.
