Nashville-based comedian Amber Autry and Trauma Therapist Melanie Reese host guest comedians to provide a platform and connection to the stories behind the laughter.

Laughter is a universal language, and comedians speak it well. Their ability to make people laugh directly influences to the success of their career. The humanity of their personal lives is often the source of the comic relief, adding to the lack of conversation around mental health.

Through their unique story telling abilities, amazing humor and vulnerability, we think we've started a much-needed conversation that will resonate with humanity.

    Marianna Barksdale - The Heavy Stuff Real Quick, Moving In After A First Date Too?

    Marianna Barksdale - The Heavy Stuff Real Quick, Moving In After A First Date Too?

    Comedian Marianna showed up ready to be vulnerable and honest and it was a beautiful conversation. She unpacks her own attempts to end her life, her mom's attempts to kill her and her brother. She is still seeking out how to even process emotions, literally googling it. She talks about how her parental relationships show up in her romantic relationships and Amber insists that she is happy to become close friends with her after Marianna expresses that she doesn't know how to have close friendships. We also get to witness in real time a trauma response by disassociating. She's a peach and a lady and possible Cate Blanchett's organ clone?

    It was such a fun conversation and we loved having her in the studio with us!
