  • i took my family on vacation
    Sep 25 2025
    this was one of the most rewarding milestones in my career. how many times will my parents go to the store? my dad really just wanted 12 key limes and a nutribullet. it wouldn’t be a family vacation if there wasn’t at least one blowout. yes my mother has an android. my aunt left her phone in the car and wouldn’t let us hear the end of it. my cousins don’t know how to bluff to save their lives. did no one teach you how to deal cards??? have you ever heard of an optical course? everyone take your glasses off, go!!!!Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/https://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?

  • mina tobias: mental health, gossip girl, and harry potter
    Sep 18 2025
    mina is a singer/songwriter, actress, writer, mental health advocate, (almost) sommelier, track star, and most importantly, one of my very best friends. she gives us a glimpse into her family’s history with mental health, why they started the nonprofit ‘don’t mind me’, and what it was like growing up in hollywood. she watched her mom makeout with her celebrity crush, and spent 3 years thinking she was leaving for hogwarts. if you see her out there’s a good chance she’s wearing a cornell sweatshirt. oh and she came onto MY podcast and asked me 10 questions.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_POD Follow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/https://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?

  • how to get out of a rut
    Aug 14 2025
    i used to think i was better than burnout. then i hit rock bottom. being a perfectionist is exhausting. who are you outside of your job? just say no. say no as much as possible. sometimes i get overwhelmed by my ideas. are you burnt out or creatively uninspired? don’t create if you don’t feel creative. celebrate the small wins. diversify your life. gyms are boring. clean your f*cking house!!! write sh*t down. crossing something off my to-do list makes me horny. i hope this ep helps youFollow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.
