Summary

EPISODE 29: THE ART OF GOING SILENT | Jessimae Peluso Dying Laughing with Jessimae After stepping away for three months to finish her first book, Jessimae returns with an honest, funny, and unexpectedly emotional conversation about grief, burnout, creativity, and what happens when you stop feeding the machine long enough to hear yourself again. In this episode, she talks about the challenges of creative exhaustion, self-motivation, learning how to focus and how to use that focus to your advantage when building something meaningful. She also opens up about unlearning and undoing parts of who she thought she was, her experience at the Hoffman Institute, and the emotional chaos of writing honestly about family, grief… and exes while somewhat sober. Jessimae reflects on disappearing from the internet, the pressure of constant visibility, the strange state of the world while she was gone, and how some healing and transformation can only happen in private. Raw, reflective, and darkly funny, this episode marks the beginning of a new chapter for Dying Laughing. 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your griefiest friend. 🎁 EMAIL US: JessimaePelusoComedy@gmail.com ☎️ CALL/TEXT US: 513-916-0930 Dying Laughing Sad B!tch Mix: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4oEPcojn4F8tAl93m7O8dm?si=XvGd7MXASIyUh5qSIFUcmQπ=fzUNvYr0SP2oG 🎵 Outro music “Consider Death” by Akira The Don. 🖤 Follow @JessimaePeluso for more: YT: https://found.ee/jessimae-youtube TOUR: https://found.ee/jessimaetour FAN CLUB: https://found.ee/JessimaePeluso-Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hey, Grief Gang, it is your host, your comedy death dula, Jesse May.
0:05.2	So hi, yeah, I disappeared for three months to finish my book.
0:08.9	And honestly, I feel like I came back to a completely different planet.
0:12.0	I don't know what's going on.
0:13.6	There's a lot of chaos.
0:14.8	AI seems to have taken over and doomsday is upon us.
0:19.8	And now we just have to figure out what we're doing, moving forward,
0:24.0	as a whole. Have we made a collective decision yet? I've been an emotional, solitary confinement
0:30.0	trying to finish a memoir about grief, family, love and loss, and the absolute chaos of being a
0:36.4	human. I've basically been living like a Victorian widow with
0:39.7	Wi-Fi. I've really grown a custom to it. The strangest part about disappearing for so many
0:45.1	months wasn't the writing. It was realizing how addicted I've become to being visible to producing,
0:52.2	posting, performing, podcasting, reacting, feeding the machine constantly.
0:57.7	But somewhere in that silence, something has shifted. Started realizing that the versions of
1:02.9	ourselves, some of them can only emerge in private. And some healing doesn't happen online.
1:09.0	It can't. And art requires disappearing for a little while.
1:12.2	So today's episode is about what happens when you go quiet long enough to finally hear yourself again
1:16.4	and how I wore the same bra for four months.
1:19.8	Cute. It was from TJ Max. I hope you guys enjoy today's episode.
1:28.1	Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode. Sculls and Skullinness. Consider death.
1:34.2	Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Dying Laughing. You guys probably thought I died.
1:38.8	And in many ways, I did. If you are listening for the first time, this is Dying Laughing.
