Too Cute to Die

Too Cute to Die

Too Cute to Die is a podcast about death, terminal illness, mental health, addiction, recovery, perimenopause, and all the other weird shit no one prepared us for. Hosted by Rebecca (who’s living with young onset Alzheimer’s) and Vanessa (her feral co-conspirator), this show is part support group, part stand-up set, and part diary entry. Expect unfiltered convos, dark humor, lots of cussing, occasional sobbing, and deep dives into what it means to live while falling apart. If you’ve ever felt too young to be this tired, too smart to be this lost, or too cute to be dying… welcome. You’re one of us now. Email us anytime at toocutepod@gmail.com
