The day is FINALLY here! Yesterday marked the official launch of my book, which means you can now purchase If I Don’t Laugh I’ll Cry everywhere books are sold! 

To make this moment even more special, I’m joined by the one and only John Stillman in today’s episode. Although he didn’t prepare his interview questions (but don’t you worry- he never fails to prepare a joke or two) we had a blast reminiscing about the journey of bringing this book to life. 

From the initial days of the writing process to receiving my first-ever feedback from early readers, every step of this adventure has been nothing short of incredible. 

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who has supported me on this journey. Whether you’ve preordered the book, left a review, or simply shared in the excitement, your support means the world to me. 

If you’re planning to get your hands on a copy soon, I can’t wait for you to read it!

Until next time, happy listening + happy reading!

FEATURED QUOTES

“The initial idea was really just to tell a debt story… I think as I began to work on the outline I realized that more of that backstory needed to be included than I think I originally thought.”

“I think the thing I’m most looking forward to is hearing the stories of people who are reading it.”

“I can say, I’m not I’m not sick of myself. That sounds really weird to say, but I mean… I’m not sick of this book. Like, I’m not over it. I am more excited about it than ever. And I’m just genuinely excited for people to read it.”
