About this listen

Lisa Lampanelli is back… and she’s got opinions. Comedy's former Queen of Mean may not be a licensed therapist, but that’s never stopped her from dishing out advice. So, after years of roasting celebs (and herself), the retired insult comic has decided it's time for her to help you shrink your problems, roast your bad decisions, and help you get your act together.

Each week, Lisa and her unpaid sidekick comedian Nick Scopoletti read letters from real people with real issues—mental health, body image, friendship, family, and why you’re still texting that loser. Every episode of "Shrink This!" is full of unfiltered wisdom, inappropriate jokes, a whole lotta heart, and ZERO B.S. Just when you thought counseling and straight talk had to be 100% serious, turns out it doesn't!

  • Our Attitudes About Platitudes

    Our Attitudes About Platitudes
    Feb 17 2026

    In this episode of “Shrink This!,” Lisa is joined by Nick and returning producer Celia to tear apart the feel-good phrases we all love to hide behind. From “give yourself grace” to “manifest it” to toxic positivity disguised as wisdom, Lisa asks the real question: Are platitudes helping you grow or just allowing you to avoid your life? With stories, sarcasm, and a little hard truth, the crew breaks down when clichés comfort us—and when they quietly keep us stuck. If you’ve ever slapped a “good vibes only” sign on a bad situation, this one’s for you.

    Your Identity is Like Week-Old Milk: Expired!
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode of “Shrink This!,” Lisa takes a blowtorch to identity obsession and asks the uncomfortable question no one wants to answer: “Who are you without the label?”Joined by Nick and video producer Stephanie, Lisa unpacks why clinging to being “the comic,” “the actor,” “the mom,” or “the reliable one” can quietly keep you stuck instead of safe. From career pivots and ancient dreams to the ego hangover that comes with letting go, Lisa digs into how identity turns into a cage—and why not knowing who you are might actually mean you’re growing. If your favorite phrase is, “This is just who I am,” this episode is here to lovingly ruin that.

  • Dead Exes, Live Resentments

    Dead Exes, Live Resentments
    Feb 3 2026

    In this episode of “Shrink This!,” Lisa takes a blowtorch to resentment and asks the uncomfortable question no one wants to answer: what are you still mad about—and why? Joined by Nick and video producer Stephanie, Lisa unpacks why clinging to grudges, scorekeeping, and “I’m fine” energy can quietly poison your relationships (and your own nervous system). From journaling burn lists and dead ex‑boyfriends to family drama over necklaces and who pays for dinner, the crew digs into how resentment builds, where it actually comes from, and why saying the hard thing early beats exploding later. If you love to claim you’ve “moved on” while mentally keeping receipts, this episode is here to lovingly call your bluff.
