INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
In this episode, I chat with Wendy Litner, the brilliant mind behind the Crave Original Series My Dead Mom. Inspired by her own loss, Wendy’s series is a funny, heartfelt exploration of grief, family, and the sometimes-complicated mother-daughter bond—complete with a meddling ghost mom who just won’t stop talking!
We dig into what inspired Wendy to create a show that uses comedy to tackle such a heavy topic and how she strikes the perfect balance between humor and respect. Wendy opens up about the challenges of creating a ghostly character who’s both funny and deeply meaningful, the insights she’s gained about grief and relationships, and the amazing ways viewers have connected with her work.
Wendy doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff—whether it’s infertility in her International Emmy-nominated series How to Buy a Baby, or navigating life after loss in My Dead Mom. She shares her unique perspective on finding light even in life’s darkest moments and how humor has been a healing force for her.
