In this week’s episode of I’m Fine, It’s Fine, Comedian Amber Autry and Trauma Therapist Melanie Reese sit down with Comedian Tamar Rubin for a honest, hilarious deep dive into the messy stuff we ALL deal with but rarely talk about. We cover ADHD medication, what happens when you get way too close to your therapist, navigating OCD spirals, and why “the tortured artist” narrative is total BS.

Tamar gets real about what happens on stage when you haven’t dealt with your personal life, Melanie helps guide on how to handle people being mad at you, and the group discusses why comedy hits different when you’re actually taking care of yourself. Expect raw truth, big laughs, and a ton of relatable moments for anyone juggling mental health, creativity, and being a human.

Perfect for fans searching for: ADHD podcast, OCD conversations, therapy boundaries, stand-up comedy struggles, women in comedy, mental health and humor, creative burnout, healing while performing, and comedians being real.

Listen, laugh, and maybe avoid texting your therapist after hours.
