Grief is strange. It’s heavy, unpredictable, and sometimes—against all odds—it’s funny. In this episode, Donnie sits down with Yadira, the younger sister of his late friend Andres, to share how loss shaped their lives and how laughter became a lifeline.

From the awkward moments of giggling through tears to the comfort of inside jokes, they explore how humor doesn’t erase grief but helps carry it.

Together, they reflect on the waves of anger, guilt, and sorrow, but also the unexpected joy that comes from cherishing small moments and keeping memories alive. It’s a reminder that grief isn’t something to “get over” but something to live with—sometimes through tears, sometimes through laughter.

As Andres’ birthday approaches on August 24th, this conversation becomes more than reflection—it’s a celebration of him. A tribute to the love he left behind, the laughter he inspired, and the reminder that even in loss, joy can still be found.

🎭 Be Loud, Take Space — and who better to embody that than my biggest guest yet, Sis Thee Doll! A Black trans femme creative from Houston, Texas, Sis’s artistry radiates resilience, joy, and community. She’s an actress, activist, and fierce advocate for Black trans femmes in the arts — and made history as the first Black trans woman to lead a Broadway national tour, stealing the show as Ado Annie in Oklahoma!.

From gracing the stage in Oklahoma! to appearing in American Horror Story and Pose, Sis knows the power of telling your story on your terms. As founder of the Open House Project, Doll Productions, and the dazzling holiday tradition Sismas, she’s building stages — literal and figurative — for voices that deserve to be heard.

In this conversation, we get real about navigating identity in the performing arts, the magic (and madness) of stage vs. screen, and why confidence is your greatest audition weapon. Sis shares her wins, her challenges, and the unapologetic truth about owning your talent in an industry that doesn’t always make room.

Ever been scared of a windmill and a dating app? Same. In this hilariously honest episode, I’m joined by my self-appointed family — my college wife Katie and our daughter Navada — as we dive headfirst into the wild world of modern dating.

From irrational fears to messy love lives, we cover it all: ghosting, jealousy, weird speed dates, awkward “what are we?” talks, and why clear communication and boundaries are harder than they sound. Whether you're deep in the dating trenches or just trying to figure out where your friendships stand, this one's got something for you.

Think of it as therapy... but funnier.

📍 A college love story... minus the romance. Plus, a lot of heart.

This week on UrTypical Podcast, Donnie is joined by his college “wife” and longtime friend, Katie Lindgren — and no, they’re not actually married, but their bond is realer than most. From their humble beginnings doing theater together at Cardinal Stritch University to late-night Red Lobster runs and life-changing pep talks, this episode is a celebration of chosen family, theater kids turned grown-ups, and the unshakable friendships that withstand time, distance, and major life changes.

Katie opens up about her journey from stage manager extraordinaire to running inclusive recreational programs for adults with disabilities — and how theater gave her the confidence, clarity, and skillset to lead with empathy. She also shares candid reflections on her sobriety, how it’s shaped her life, and what it really means to show up for yourself and others.

💬 Topics we dive into:

• The theater program that made them (and then fell apart without them)

• How Katie helped Donnie find his voice — literally

• The importance of accessible arts programs like Pink Umbrella Theater

• What being sober taught her about adult friendships, inclusion, and self-worth

• Why friendships that allow space and growth are the ones that last

Whether you were a theater kid, are exploring sobriety, or just want to laugh, reflect, and feel seen, this one’s a hug in podcast form.

🎧 Listen in and prepare to text your bestie after.
