About this episode

Author, singer, director, and actor Jennette McCurdy and Anna talk about her incredibly powerful and very funny new book I’m Glad My Mom Died, the highs and lows of doing press, similarities between our families, keeping secrets, the life of a child actor, professional jealousy, recognizing a healthy relationship and much more.


First to call in today is Roz. She met a new guy mid-pandemic and their relationship looked promising … until she found out he had lied about his name, age, marital status, and the fact that he has several kids.


Our second caller today is Kathleen whose boyfriend has a seven-year-old from a previous marriage. Now Kathleen wonders how to navigate her boyfriend’s resentment of his ex and keep the peace among the adults for the sake of her new stepdaughter.
