  • Chelcie Lynn | Turning Childhood Chaos Into Comedy
    Mar 24 2026

    Comedian and internet icon Chelcie Lynn joins I’m Fine, It’s Fine for an honest conversation about growing up in chaos - then building a completely different life.

    Chelcie opens up about her childhood, living with poverty, and realizing later in life that she never truly felt safe as a kid. Despite everything she experienced early on, she shares how optimism, perspective, and a conscious decision not to repeat the patterns around her helped shape the person she is today.

    Hosted by comedian Amber Autry & licensed trauma therapist Melanie Reese (LMFT).

  • Tamar Rubin - The Tortured Artist Is So BS
    Dec 16 2025

    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.
