    it's not every day you get to chat with a unicycle-riding, triathlete engineer. a conversation about creative overwhelm, multi-hyphenate fatigue, niching down, burnout, redefining success outside the algorithm, authenticity on the internet, confidence and a whole bunch of other like, really cool and interesting topics, or whatever. if you happen to watch this episode, pls count how many times she sticks her tongue out and report back. don’t look at our notes app. she almost burnt her hair off on my candle sos I need office insurance!!! would you rather get cancelled for something you didn’t do or go viral for something that completely misrepresents you? idk just listen to the episode lol.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=enFollow Anna:https://www.instagram.com/annaxsitar/https://www.tiktok.com/@annaxsitarhttps://www.youtube.com/@annaxsitar Learn more about your ad choices.

    embarrassing myself in front of ray romano, losing the plot & cancelling my dream trip
    Jul 17 2025
    i met ray romano and he might send me a subpoena. my networking style is avoidance. why do we go to brunch after a wedding? this will forever haunt me. there’s nothing more embarrassing than yelling ‘on your left’ on a bike. a dad gave me a piece of gauze. am I putting off my happiness??? i feel like i’m floating through space. i had to cancel my dream trip. there’s only so much in your control. i lost myself for a little. what’s the point of life if you’re just trying to get to the next thing? i’m a f*cking poet.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

  • mental health awareness? oh I’m AWARE.

    mental health awareness? oh I’m AWARE.
    Jul 3 2025
    the diary of a highly sensitive girly. I started reading a book send help sos. sometimes I feel like I’m better at performing life than experiencing it. I have a running tab of trauma and that bill is EXPENSIVE. not having an aesthetic is still an aesthetic. being a deep feeler is exhausting. my nervous system is wired to process things so intensely. no that wasn’t whiplash, it was just the sudden shift of my emotions lol xoxo. say no when you’re saturated. I don’t experience moments, I absorb them so hunny, I’m TIRED. you’re not behind, you’re just in a different chapter. milestones aren’t always the same as fulfillment.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

    this episode might get me cancelled or at the very least my mom, bf & friends will hate me lol. are these hot takes too hot?? brunch is not fun, fight me. swifties, plz take it easy on me. i think i think too much. i think?? shaking a$$ to teardrops on my guitar. nothing happy about happy hour. it’s all fun and games until “rent-a-mom” gets picked up on shark tank. for a girl that doesn’t leave her house or drink, i’ve been leaving my house and drinking. why is everybody sober????? :/Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

    steve jobs crashed my podcast. smart cars, smart devices, dumb people. “are you pooping or are you stuck?" the thing that inspires me also burns me out. eff the “performance bubble.” small talk is one of the most important skills. remember when we had to deal with awkward silence? get bored on purpose. i wish lumosity sponsored this episode. i used to memorize shampoo bottles lol. no but seriously why is my poop green? golden goose sneakers are ugly stop fighting me on this. being a person is exhausting. ppl be PISSING me off. “i’m addicted to my phone, i’m a piece of sh*t, see you next Thursday!” Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

    most people that are successful are not talented. you don’t have to be the best to be the best. i blacked out over a gold fish. my first time was a gravity b0ng??? did she just say women are bad drivers??? imposter syndrome is funny. nara smith knows who I am. acceptance means survival, rejection means danger. pursuing the thing you love is a luxury. cracking people’s hard shells is my favorite sport. throw sh*t at the wall.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.
