  • avery woods: in her unapologetic, peaceful era
    Dec 4 2025
    avery woods is a mom, content creator (& grew a million followers in a week), podcast host and one of my favorite people i’ve met through social media. we talk about motherhood, how her kids are her entire world (and why she’ll never take them back to Chuck E. Cheese), the struggles and blessings of putting yourself on social media, crazy things she witnessed as a nurse (yes someone did stick an action figure up their a$s), and her big move *back* to california. her story and journey inspire me endlessly - she’s proof that you can chase the life you want and still laugh at the chaos along the way.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/@christinakirkmanFollow Avery:https://www.instagram.com/averyywoodshttps://www.tiktok.com/@averyywoodsFollow Cheers with Avery Woods:https://www.instagram.com/cheerswithaveryhttps://www.tiktok.com/@cheerswithavery Learn more about your ad choices.

  • courtney michelle: sketch comedy, people pleasing, and chicken noodle soup tears
    Nov 20 2025
    courtney michelle is a comedian, actress, part people pleaser, part “oops, was that an intrusive thought?” over thinker. she’s built a whole persona out of playing “the girl who absolutely does not care if you live or die.” we get into the psychology behind her “snarky” character, people-pleasing in a career where that trait should honestly be illegal, why comedy on the internet is dying (pls don’t feel bad for laughing), and throwing up on her celeb crush. we also talk voyeurism (shhh), and why she doesn’t mind the middle seat. this one will make you laugh and say wtf at the same time. would you rather sweat parmesan cheese or cry lukewarm soup?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?Follow Courtney:https://www.instagram.com/itscourtneymichellehttps://www.tiktok.com/@itscourtneymichelle Learn more about your ad choices.

  • guys, I’m out 10 g’s…
    Nov 6 2025
    did i bid $10k at an auction when my max was $5k? maybe. am I having to miss the event that I spent $10k on? I SAID MAYBE. it was a simple miscommunication (it was 2 gin & tonics). i finally met miley cyrus and i still haven’t recovered. we were drinking champagne with $25 in our bank accounts. the shark week commercial audition was my last straw. should i be on adhd meds???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?

  • kate steinberg: millennial culture, reality tv, and being a creative
    Oct 30 2025
    kate steinberg is THE face of millennials, a writer, former NHL cheerleader, and genuinely one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. if you’ve ever seen a video of someone perfectly reenacting a scenario you lived through in 2006, it was probably kate. we talk about millennial culture, creating nostalgia content, the most she’s ever spent bidding on an early-2000s artifact, meeting her fiancé on a dating show, and the highs and lows of growing on social media. she’s an animal lover who spends her free time volunteering at the shelter and is officially one pet away from living in a zoo. oh, and she’s still on the hunt for the matte blue scooby-doo snacks.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?Follow Kate:https://www.instagram.com/itskatesteinberg?https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatesteinberg?Support the Lange Foundation: https://langefoundation.org/? https://www.instagram.com/lange_foundation?
