Donnie opens up with genuine humor, sharing stories of navigating a world where his stutter isn’t always understood. From encounters with doubters to those who misinterpret his intentions, Donnie’s comedy journey is uniquely his own.

He also shares his secret passion for knowing why a town became a town and what his on-the-road routine includes.

About the Podcast

I'm Fine, It's Fine!
Trauma + Humor = Healing
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.

Hi, Im Melanie! I am a student and teacher of the human condition. My work as a trauma therapist, my personal healing journey and spirituality have been my source(s) of wisdom. I believe we all have everything we need to heal inside of us. My role as a therapist and fellow human, is to provide space and opportunity to help others connect back to this internal wisdom. We are our own healers!

I'm excited to contribute to this project and help create a deeper conversation around mental health and how humor can be both a mask to our pain and a way through it. I hope these conversations resonate and you enjoy them as much as we did! Much love - Melanie
