Summary

Elyse Myers, one of the internet’s biggest comfort creators, joins Vic for a conversation that feels like a warm hug. With over 12 million followers across social media, Elyse is known for her comedic storytelling, relatability, and the way she helps people feel seen in their messiest, most human moments. In this episode, Elyse opens up about her new book, That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You, a stunning mix of poems and stories she describes as “a modern art museum,” and the life lessons behind it. From how to stop overanalyzing yourself and make peace with anxiety, to why she embraces body neutrality over toxic positivity, to what her break from the internet taught her about simplicity, boundaries, and joy, this conversation is honest, healing, and full of heart. Tune in to laugh, reflect, and remember that peace doesn’t come from having all the answers, it comes from simply being here.
