About The AfterWords

Honestly, I’m Fine is the podcast for people who say they’re “fine” while actively falling apart in a Target parking lot. Hosted by Maile Navarro — mom, writer, accidental comedian, spiritual work-in-progress, and woman who has survived more plot twists than Netflix — this show is part confession, part comedy, part “how is this my life,” and part “ok but maybe God is real.” This isn’t a grief podcast. It’s a life-after-life-falls-apart podcast. Maile dives into the before, the after, and the in-between: • childhood abandonment disguised as ice cream • marriages that should’ve come with warning
