About this listen

The world is a dumpster fire. Work wives, best friends, and TV writers/producers Amy Aniobi and Grace Edwards want to help. In response to the madness in the news, they share the culture that lights them up and activities that bring them joy, plus strategies they use to cope with these wild times. They also invite inspiring special guests to share their own self-care strategies. And since Grace and Amy are comedy writers, they bring a level of casual, edgy fun to it all. During these trying times we all need a show that focuses on joy. This is The Antidote.

    Giving Grace with Tabitha Brown
    Feb 8 2023

    In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with actor, entrepreneur, and two-time New York Times bestselling author Tabitha Brown about the joy of giving grace to others, how to adopt a vegan lifestyle, and why there’s no such thing as time wasted.

    Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week – a mom gets called a bully for protecting her daughter, and a metaphorical clock sounding an alarm for humanity. They also share their antidotes: closet organizing, and impromptu friend visits.

    “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life.”

    - Sophia Loren
