Live Like It Matters10 Syys 2025

Ep. 1 – Grace Helbig

In the debut episode of Live Like It Matters, host Elissa Kalver sits down with her friend, comedian, podcaster, and internet legend Grace Helbig. The conversation kicks off with the chaos of Elissa’s birthday week (yes, she celebrated with a book launch at the Magic Castle AND recorded a marathon of back-to-back podcasts), before Grace shares her hilarious adventure as a judge at the world’s ugliest dog competition. From there, things take a meaningful turn as Grace opens up about her breast cancer diagnosis, the realities of treatment, and how humor has helped her breathe (and laugh) through it all. Known for her quick wit and honesty, Grace brings both laughter and depth to the table, proving that life’s hardest chapters can still hold moments of joy, absurdity, and connection. This inaugural episode sets the tone for the series: part ridiculous, part profound, and always rooted in living like it matters.

Book: We Got This: How I Learned to Thrive with Terminal Cancer

Where storytelling meets spontaneity. No script. No rules. Just raw, honest, and often ridiculous conversations about life, loss, healing, and hope. These are the messy, magical moments that make life worth showing up for, even when it’s hard. Elissa sits down with friends, specialists, fellow cancer thrivers, and sometimes whoever happens to wander in on recording day. With no script, expect raw laughter, real tears, and unexpectedly deep conversations. Every episode is a reminder that authenticity is messy, beautiful, and worth sharing. And remember to Live Like It Matters
