    Things are moving fast on this week's Laughing Through the Uncomfortable!

    After working with a professional career coach Jeff walked into his first interview at his dream company and got pushed through to round two! We break down exactly what happened, chatted about the mirror practice sessions, the behavioral questions nobody warned him about, the salary negotiation tennis match, and why telling the recruiter you want to open your own brand in five years is never the right answer 😂

    Then things get real. Jeff has his sights set on relocating with a target city in mind, an apartment that costs half of what he pays now, and a timeline that has his mom doing the math in real time 😂

    Plus, the dating apps are officially deleted until further notice, the LinkedIn profile needs an urgent update, and somehow we end up talking about homemade pasta sauce and Trader Joe's meatballs 😂❤️

    If you are job hunting, navigating interviews, thinking about relocating or just need a good laugh this week this one is for you 🎙️

    And if you want the contact information for the professional career coach Jeff worked with email us at laughingthroughuncomfortable@gmail.com and we will send you her social media details!

  • Back From Finals & Nothing Is Going According to Plan

    Jeff is back from finals and ready to dive back in and he did not come back empty handed! 🎙️

    This week on Laughing Through the Uncomfortable, a blast from the past calls Jeff out of nowhere during his lunch break and drops some unexpected news, she is moving close by and apparently Abby has been causing drama again 😂

    Then the conversation gets real fast. Jeff has been grinding for four years trying to land his dream job at his pinnacle company in the Bay Area. We get into the nightmare of phone interviews when you are neurodivergent, accidentally calling a female recruiter sir 😂 the mystery of ghost job postings, salary negotiation anxiety, and what happens when 94 people apply for the same position five days after you did!

    And we tease what is coming next a conversation about the voices in our heads and imposter syndrome that is going to hit close to home for a lot of people 🎙️

    Real talk, real laughs and a dog named Oakley who tried to end the podcast early!

  • Best Of: 12 Episodes, Too Many Red Flags & Not Enough Chardonnay
    May 5 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Jeff is hitting the books for finals so this week we are taking a walk down memory lane through our favorite moments from the first 12 episodes of Laughing Through the Uncomfortable! 🎙️

    From Jeff navigating the city with all its sounds and smells, to red flags he completely missed while dating, to the resting bitch face incident at the wine tasting, to finally understanding what a compliment on your eyes actually means — and what it definitely does not mean 😂

    We also revisit the dating fatigue that comes with swiping left and right for months, the moment Jeff realized he attracts people who need healing, and of course Logan setting the record straight on what gaslighting actually is 😂❤️

    If you are new to the podcast this is the perfect place to start. If you have been here from the beginning — welcome back to all the moments that made you laugh through the uncomfortable 🎙️

    New episodes return in two weeks when Jeff is done with finals! 😂
