Paul Scheer Finds The Joy In His Traumatic Childhood May 29, 2024

Show notes

The incredibly talented Paul Scheer is on the show, and this week’s episode is like a Netflix binge of life lessons served with a side of laughter and an extra helping of wisdom. Paul is an actor, podcaster, and comedian who you’ll recognize from shows like Fresh Off The Boat, Veep, The League, and Black Monday. He wrote a fantastic and funny new book called Joyful Recollections of Trauma, about the lessons he learned from his difficult childhood.

Paul has an incredible gift for using comedy and joy to engage with difficult issues like abuse and divorce. His perspective is inspiring and funny as we discuss topics like navigating childhood traumas, finding joy in the simple things (hello, Dairy Queen Blizzard!), and the transformative power of accepting yourself. Paul’s ability to find the joy and laughter in his harrowing past is a masterclass in resilience and reframing perspective. You can’t miss this episode of The Kim Gravel Show.

My favorite quote this week:

"You don't know how weird your childhood is and how weird these things are until you put them in front of other people" - Paul Scheer

Doctors told professional skier Jamie MoCrazy she would never be normal again after she suffered a traumatic brain injury that left her in a coma for 10 days. This week Jamie is here with her sister Jeanee and we hear their incredible story of resilience and recovery.

Wing It & Watch Your Success Follow May 15, 2024

Show notes

I want this episode to give you the confidence you need to stop preparing and start winging it. It won’t be perfect but if will be perfectly you, and you’re beautiful. There is freedom in recognizing the value of your own unique perspective and purpose, and I want you to be free from the excuses that stopped you in the past. Once you recognize how incredible your contribution already is, the sky is the limit.

I’ve met a lot of very successful people, and I’ve seen first-hand that the more real and authentic you are, the more successful you can become. I put Martha Stewart in that category as someone who is living her purpose. She’s a hero of mine and you’ll have the listen to the episode to hear the wild thing I said on stage in front of her in order to get her attention. Oh boy did I get it. Don’t miss this episode of The Kim Gravel Show.

My favorite quote this week:

"I want to talk to you about purpose in a way that is unprepared. I want you to start winging it" -Kim

If there's one thing I know, it's pranks. And this time, I took it to a whole new level with a month-long prank on my sister using her Cameo account.
