What happens when the person who is usually doing the healing suddenly becomes the one who needs to be healed?

In this episode of Deep, Funny, Dirty, we sit down with Dr. Sunita Iyer to talk about the car accident that changed nearly everything in an instant. From being hit at full speed and cut out of her car to navigating brain injury, physical recovery, fear, frustration, and the strange experience of surrendering control, Sunita takes us inside what it meant to go from doctor and caregiver to patient.

We talk about the lessons hidden inside recovery, the uncomfortable space between gratitude and grief, and what Sunita learned about herself when slowing down was no longer optional. We also explore her approach to healing through a blend of Eastern and Western medicine, and why recovery is rarely as simple as fixing what hurts.

It’s a conversation about trauma, resilience, control, receiving care, and finding humor in the middle of some really hard shit.

In this episode, we sit down with Marianne Ames, founder of Bliss Yoga Studio, to talk about her upcoming book Return to Your Truth. Marianne shares that the book came to her in a very interesting way, and how it slowly took shape into something she never expected to write.

She opens up about years spent abandoning herself for the needs of others, the practices that helped her come home to who she really is, and the fear of being fully seen even while writing a book about truth. The conversation moves through somatic healing, the difference between story and sensation, and how she hopes readers will use the book as a living, returnable resource rather than something to read once and shelve.

A raw and honest look at what it takes to reclaim your own voice.

Jordan Kerbs joins us to share her cancer diagnosis story and the new chapter it opened up for her. She walks through the warning signs she almost missed, the twelve hour ER visit before anyone said the word cancer, and the moment a stage three diagnosis became real.

Jordan opens up about leaning on her father, a doctor of Chinese medicine, and finding a path that wove Eastern and Western medicine together through chemo. That blend showed up alongside yoga, qigong, and staying honest with her emotions instead of numbing them.

We talk about grief and diagnosis colliding in the same week, facing questions about motherhood with her parents by her side, and choosing laughter, music, and community over fear.

This week on Deep Funny Dirty, we're stepping into something heavier than usual. We sit down with Alex Konicke, author of The Evil Among Us, to talk about what happens after tragedy tears through a family. Alex opens up about watching his older brother Zach spiral through addiction and resistance to help, and about how easy it is to miss the moment when concerning becomes dangerous, even for a family paying close attention and doing everything they knew how to do.

But this conversation isn't really about the tragedy itself, it's about what comes after. We dig into the questions every family faces long before a crisis hits. When do you set a boundary. When do you call for help. When does protecting someone you love start putting everyone else at risk. Alex shares the reflections that have come from walking through all of it, and how he's turned unimaginable pain into a mission to change how Washington State responds to mental health emergencies.

Alex's story is heavy, honest, and unexpectedly hopeful, a reminder that healing rarely looks the way we think it will, and that community and connection can carry us through even the hardest chapters.

What happens when the healer needs healing? This week we sit down with Megan Hoeffner, founder of an international yoga and sound healing school, for a conversation that gets real fast. Megan opens up about riding the waves of postpartum depression, sleep deprivation, and brand new motherhood, all while running a global wellness brand that never stops asking for more. We dig into the pressure that healers and wellness professionals feel to show up polished and put together even when they are quietly unraveling inside, and what it actually takes to admit you are not okay. It's a raw, funny, and deeply human look at building a dream, keeping a tiny human alive, and learning to actually take a breath, maybe for the first time. If you have ever felt like you had to have it all together for everyone else, this episode is for you. Hit play. Then breathe.

In this episode of Deep Funny Dirty, we sit down with comedian Barbie Applegate, a woman whose name barely scratches the surface of who she actually is.

Barbie's story moves through an unconventional childhood, unexpected loss, and a winding career path that brought her full circle back to the one thing that always kept her going: laughter. Along the way, she discovered that humor isn't just a coping mechanism, it's a healing tool backed by real science, and one she now brings to audiences as a working comedian in her 50s.

Together we explore what it means to be misread by the world, how tragedy can quietly shape a person's greatest strengths, and why the people who make us laugh the hardest often carry the deepest stories. We also get into the role comedy plays in mental health, the courage it takes to stand in front of a room full of strangers, and what it looks like to finally stop running from your own life and start living it out loud.

What happens when a romance novelist refuses to believe that desire and faith have to live on opposite sides of the room?

In this episode, we sit down with Christina, a local author whose work explores pleasure, shame, spirituality, and the deeply human stories that live underneath them all. As both a Christian and a writer of sex-positive romance, Christina brings a perspective that challenges the easy assumptions many of us were handed about bodies, purity, love, and what it means to be “good.”

Together, we talk about growing up inside religious messages that often made sexuality feel dangerous, dirty, or something to be controlled, especially for women. Christina shares how her own faith, curiosity, and writing helped her begin untangling shame from belief, and how romance novels can become more than entertainment. They can offer representation, permission, healing, and a more honest language for desire.

This conversation moves through church, scripture, sexuality, interpretation, womanhood, marriage, pleasure, and the complicated process of reclaiming parts of ourselves we may have been taught to hide. It is thoughtful, vulnerable, funny, and deeply human.

At the heart of it all is a bigger question: What if faith and sexuality are not enemies? What if love, embodiment, and pleasure have always belonged in the same conversation?

Some conversations don’t fit neatly into one side or the other.

In this episode of, we sit down with Officer Maurice Anthony for a grounded, honest, and deeply human conversation about perspective, responsibility, race, community, and what it means to serve from inside a system that many people have complicated feelings about.

Maurice brings a rare and thoughtful lens to the conversation. From working in corrections to becoming a police officer, he shares how his experiences shaped the way he sees people, conflict, accountability, and the power of simply treating someone like a human being first. He talks about the tension of showing up as both a Black man and an officer, the assumptions people project onto the badge, and the importance of building trust before there is ever a crisis.

This episode moves through hard topics without trying to flatten them into easy answers. It is about the space between identity and uniform, frustration and compassion, authority and service, being misunderstood and still choosing to show up with intention.

Maurice doesn’t offer a perfect solution. He offers something better: honesty, humility, and a reminder that change often starts in the smallest moments of connection.

In this episode of Deep Funny Dirty, we sit down with David for a conversation about identity, faith, embodiment, and the strange, sacred work of becoming yourself. Born without one hand and raised inside a Christianity that promised miracles, David shares how years of praying to be “healed” eventually led him into a much deeper question: what if wholeness was never about being fixed?

Together, we explore moving beyond religious fear, reclaiming spirituality, learning to trust intuition, and finding the kind of self-love that turns old wounds into creative power. It is tender, funny, honest, and a little mystical, exactly the kind of human mess we love.

A conversation about overcoming, unbecoming, and discovering the magic that was already there.
