Your Pain is Killing Me

Same Issues. Different Generations. Endless Digressions.

Episode #62

October 27, 2026

Hi GLUs!!!

In today’s episode of EhMaGawd, we’re talking about the P-word.

Pain.

When it’s therapeutic to share your discomfort, when it's detrimental, and when it's okay to tell someone to shut the F up and do something about it. Because you don’t want to be the miserable GLU no one wants to sit beside at the birthday brunch, but you also don’t want to be so stoic no one can relate. It’s a hard balance to strike, but we figure it out, thanks to some inspiration from Lisi’s hardcore friend who got her tonsils removed without anesthesia. #Russia

Digressions include: hair as an indicator of mental health; trying to have compassion for balding men but not quite getting there; the doc You Can See Everything; and why Ellen has reached her Austin city limit.

We’ll answer a very relatable question from a GLU who is acting a little too needy toward her crush. In addition to our Orna-grade advice, Lisi recommends Elizabeth Gilbert’s stunningly honest memoir, All the Way to the River. If you think you get a little extra when you want reassurance…my Gawd.

Enjoy!

xoxo Lisi & Ellen
