This week on Inhale Exhale Elevate, we sit down with the wildly funny and deeply insightful Jessimae Peluso—stand-up comedian, host of Netflix’s Tattoo Redo and Surviving Paradise, and advocate for mental health and Alzheimer’s awareness.
From her rise on MTV’s Girl Code to touring overseas with the USO, Jessimae opens up about using comedy to process life’s biggest challenges. She shares the story behind her new podcast Dying Laughing (launching 2025 with her first guest John Stamos), her passion for brain health, and the power of turning pain into purpose.
We talk about:
The healing role of humor in grief and mental health
Her work with the Alzheimer’s Association & Hilarity for Charity
Vulnerability, validation, and the behind-the-scenes of TV and touring
Why laughter is medicine—and sometimes, resistance
Whether you’re here for the laughs or looking for a little light in the dark, this episode will leave you inspired and elevated.
