In this episode, Jeniffer and Chad talk to author, activist, and former Dinner and a Movie host, Annabelle Gurwitch about her latest book, The End Of My Life Is Killing Me. It’s a cancer memoir, and—spoiler alert—she lives.

The End Of My Life Is Killing Me is not your typical cancer survivor story, and though there is abundant humor, she doesn’t attribute her survival to the power of positive thinking.

Instead of dramatically seizing the day, Annabelle decided to approach life by examining the small moments and taking opportunities as they came. One such opportunity, which they discuss in detail, was going on a European tour as a merch girl for a heavy metal band. They also discuss the wellness industry, and magical thinking, her volunteer work, and how her book cover, which she imagined having a Daphne and Apollo theme, ended up featuring a baby chick doing yoga.

You don’t want to miss this delightfully funny and insightful episode. There’s even a Muppet-y bonus at the outro.
