In this mini-episode, Lisa and her special guest, Broadway’s Chris O’Neill, unpack the fine art of adult apologies: when to make them, when to fake them, and when to just move on. From birthday drama to friendship guilt, Lisa proves that “sorry” isn’t weakness — it’s survival.

In this mini-episode, Lisa and her special guest, Broadway&rsquo;s Chris O&rsquo;Neill, unpack the fine art of adult apologies: when to make them, when to fake them, and when to just move on. From birthday drama to friendship guilt, Lisa proves that &ldquo;sorry&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t weakness &mdash; it&rsquo;s survival.

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!

Teeny Meanie Bonus Clip: Guilt Trips and Birthday Trips

It’s finally here! After months of waiting, the trio is together again, and “Shrink This” is back for Season 2! Celia returns with an update after last season’s “Fixing Celia” cliffhanger, Nick remains proudly unfixable, and Lisa spirals over discovering her future gravestone is way bigger than she anticipated — which somehow becomes a surprisingly emotional lesson about shame.
What starts as jokes turns into a conversation about outgrowing your family, feeling weird for doing “better” than your parents, and the quiet fear that success makes you ungrateful or disloyal. Add in listener letters from people who feel like disappointments, black sheep, and underachievers, and suddenly everyone’s unpacking the same thing: you’re not broken — you’re just growing.
