#57 Crying in Public and Kate Spade

A comedy podcast for over-thinkers and the neurotic, pining over everyday struggles and the minutiae of everyday life with an *occasional* emphasis on depression and mental health. The show was originally known as "Mentally Ch(ill)", hosted by Stevie Ryan and Kristen Carney until we lost Stevie to suicide in 2017. RIP Stevie. We love you forever. 

How to get help: In the US, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. The International Association for Suicide Prevention and Befrienders Worldwide also can provide contact information for crisis centers around the world.

Back for another episode! I'm joined by comedian Alli Breen for back-from-hiatus episode #2. We talk about therapy and if it's worth it, being chronically late, mushrooms, overthinking things we've said, ignoring people in elevators and so much more.

#106 Therapy and Mushrooms with Comedian Alli Breen

Well, well, well, look who it is. It's your ol' pal Kristen. It's only been MORE THAN 3 1/2 years since the last time I posted an episode. The last time I taped we were a month into COVID, still had our minds, my mom was still alive and my heart hadn't been eaten alive by a relationship. I hope the last 3 1/2 years haven't turned you into a completely different person too, but if it has, I hope it was for the better. 


This first episode back I'm joined by one of my favorite comedians and people, Dan Naturman, who you've seen on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, David Letterman, Comedy Central Presents, AGT, Last Comic Standing etc etc etc. We talk about performance anxiety, "normal" comedians, plane crashes, public bathroom etiquette and so many more hot topics. 


I'll be posting a new episode once a month as I ease my way back into the show. If you'd like to watch the full, unedited video version of the podcast, you can do that at Patreon.com/KristenCarney

#105 The Year of 2020 LOL

Mike Carano (Corona) is back! And, he's here to talk about progress, set-backs, and actually doing the things you KNOW will help you (and Kristen couldn't relate more). They also talk about getting outside, being isolated, going off medication, validation, smelly microphones and so many more things that the neurotic person can relate to. Follow Mike on Instagram @MikeCarano and Kristen @Kriscarn. Thank you for listening and sharing the show with a friend.

#104 GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY

Welcome to the show now known as 'Kristen, chill.' Hopefully this is the last name change and the first of many episodes under the somewhat-ish new moniker. Kristen is joined by Resident Consultant Jen and "Ky the Movie Guy" to talk about the Coronavirus and our "new normal" (that's for you, Jen). They talk about what they've been doing to get through these strange times, how Jen coped with a mandatory 14 day quarantine after coming in contact with not 1 but 2, count 'em 2 confirmed Coronavirus patients. They also talk about Kyle, as a grocery store manager, being on the front lines. Kristen also tells us about going off of antidepressants, her dog passing, why she isn't watching TV and how disappointed she is Kyle. For extra show content, go to Patreon.com/KristenandChill (the web address hasn't changed along with the new name quite yet). Also, follow Kristen on Instagram @kriscarn and Twitter @KristenCarney and Jen and Kyle on Twitter @ifner24 and @filthykyle. Stay safe out there!
