This week I spiraled out with the disarmingly honest, lovely, hilarious & brilliant writer Tara Schuster! (Glow In The F*cking Dark, Comedy Central)
Talking shame with Tara was hilarious, delightful, and honestly inspiring AF. We talked shame and trauma, the relief and empowerment that comes from knowing when the past is crash landing into the present, drunk dialing your therapist, self-compassion & forgiveness, the good side of "selfishness," reparenting yourself, existential angst and SO MUCH MORE.
Tara is the author of two incredible mental health/self-help books (with a fabulous dash of memoir.) Her book Glow In The F*cking Dark came out just a few months ago, and her first book Buy Yourself The F*cking Lilies was a finalist for Goodreads Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020.
Before pivoting to writing, Tara served as Vice President of talent and development at Comedy Central, where she was the exec at the helm of iconic shows like Key & Peele!
