Summary

EPISODE 12: The Struggle Is Real Dying Laughing with Jessimae In this episode of Dying Laughing, Jessimae takes on the messy, universal theme of struggle and proves it doesn’t have to define us. She answers fan-submitted questions about everything from navigating suicide loss, to the challenges of single parenting, to what it feels like to believe you’re unworthy of love. Jessimae also opens up about her own battles with acne, loss, and the heavy days that shaped her and finds the humor and light tucked inside the hard stuff. Along the way, her sister makes a quick (and hilarious) appearance, reminding us that sometimes the best medicine for struggle is connection. This one’s real, raw, and ultimately hopeful - a reminder that whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone in it. 🎧 Dying Laughing is here to help you cry, laugh, and maybe even heal.

0:00.0	Hey friend, welcome back to another episode of Dying Laughing. I'm your host, Jesse May Paluso,
0:05.7	and this week we're talking about struggle, and it's real. That one thing that none of us can
0:11.1	escape, no matter how much we'd like to. Struggle comes in all forms. Sometimes it's massive,
0:16.2	life-shattering loss, and other times it's smaller, but still relentless, like battling acne as an adult
0:23.0	and wondering why the hell puberty is still clinging on. Sometimes it's just the everyday grind
0:29.0	of trying to hold yourself together when the world keeps throwing curveballs. I asked my fans on
0:33.8	Instagram to tell me what you're currently struggling with. And wow, you showed up from
0:38.8	heartbreak to grief to just trying to get out of bed some days. The responses reminded me how
0:44.0	universal struggle really is. It doesn't care who you are, where you come from, what your life
0:50.1	looks like on the outside. In this episode, I open up about my own battles with acne,
0:54.5	with loss, with those moments where I thought I couldn't take another hit. And how I've learned
0:58.8	that struggle is the sauce of life. And it can shape us, it can slow us down, and teach us,
1:05.8	and force us to look inward. But that's not the whole story of who we are. So if you're in it right now and if you feel like you're fighting for error, or even if
1:15.0	you're just struggling to admit that you're struggling, I hope that this conversation makes
1:19.5	you feel a little less alone.
1:21.7	Let's get into it. What's up everybody?
1:32.4	Welcome to Dying Laughing.
1:34.4	I'm your host, Jesse May.
1:35.9	We're here.
1:36.9	This is another road show.
1:38.7	I'm technically on the road, not in the studio,
1:40.9	recording to you from a yard.
