We also talk about why Abby feels “trauma bonded” to her OB, the surprising ways pregnancy has changed her, and what we’re most nervous (and excited) about as we prepare to meet our little guy.

Laura Clery has spent years making millions of people laugh, but behind the comedy was a deeply personal battle with addiction, betrayal, and rebuilding her life from the ground up. In this episode, Laura opens up about her husband’s relapse, the end of their marriage, raising a son with autism, finding joy as a single mom, and why humor has remained her greatest survival tool through it all. She also shares the inspiration behind her new memoir, What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Hotter, and the lessons she’s learned about forgiveness, recovery, and starting over. If you or someone you love has been affected by addiction, abuse, or mental health struggles, we hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone.
