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 Do you want to hear your voice on the show?
