WHEN YOU'RE GLAD YOUR MOM DIED WITH JENNETTE MCCURDY: WCDHT EP 184

We are not allowed to admit the complicated feelings of grief, relief, and freedom that can come after the death of someone we loved who was toxic and abusive. Jennette McCurdy’s courage in breaking that rule in her book and today’s conversation – When You’re Glad Your Mom Died – is a gift to so many who share her experience. This conversation is rich, honest, and healing. We talk about: How Jennette’s mom enforced extreme calorie restriction to control & bond with her; What led her to step away from acting after her iCarly stardom; Why we should stop complimenting folks for being “resilient”; The liberation that comes when you stop forcing forgiveness; and How – when you’ve grown up in an environment of chaos and volatility – healthy, comfortable relationships can feel boring.
