Brit Stueven sits down with Debbie Scheer — comedian, storyteller, auctioneer, emcee, and someone who believes that if we can laugh about it, we can talk about it — especially when the conversation includes things like Effexor, mushrooms, and braless boobs. 😂
At Not Til Now, Debbie made a last-minute pivot. What started as an idea for “lie-down comedy” (yes, pillow and blanket included) turned into something much more honest: a story she had been carrying for a long time about parenting a child struggling with mental health — and the isolating reality so many families are navigating behind the scenes.
In this chat, Debbie shares what it looked like to finally say the hard thing out loud, even when she wasn’t sure she could get through it without crying.
They talk about the shame that keeps people silent, the moments that make you feel like no one else could possibly understand, and what actually helps when you’re in it.
This episode is funny, tender, and oh-so-freeing. If you’ve been carrying something you don’t quite know how to say, you’re gonna want to start here.
