listened to this is on spotify and CANNOT not get enough of it. hearing tina fey tell her life story in the the voice and cadence i’ve come to love over the last 8ish years was so entertaining and comforting.Â
the book is obviously hilarious and surprisingly vulnerable and tender. it feels like hanging out with your best friend’s really cool mom. would love to see her do a dramatic-comedy series a la girls hbo
we have similar birth charts, so i really feel connected to her. she’s MOTHER!!!!

After listening to the first episode of my podcast a dear friend recommended this book written by his friend and said I would relate (I talked about my previous morbid fascination with Mormon mommy bloggers and one of the characters in this suffers from the same affliction)! I don’t typically read contemporary millennial fiction but it’s so funny and sharp but easily digestible I’m highly enjoying it. Love her voice! ❤️

maintenance phase: aubrey gordon and michael hobbes debunk diet culture myths and dunk on bigots/liars/wellness culture moguls. i love aubrey's laugh it lights up my heart!!
if books could kill: michael hobbes and peter shamshiri tear apart airplane bookstore bestsellers. love this one as an english major bc they shit on unfounded or cherry picked research that was manipulated for the sake of profit and bias confirmation
we can do hard things: yes it is very millenial and genx coded but it reminds me of my mom in that way. i think listening to older women who have been where i am is so healing. glennon doyle and co. bring on so many beautiful guests (my faves are sonya renee taylor and tricia hersey!!). teaches me so much about love, relationships, communication, embodiment, and authenticity!!
pulling the thread: elise loehnen (whose recent book i LOVE) has conversations with authors, mystics, spiritual leaders, and academics about their theories and writing. i have learned so much about myself and the universe listening to these conversations!! very much stimulates my curiosity

Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died" is a good one.
I'm also currently listening to Shari Frankie's " The House of My Mother"
(i swear i don't have mommy issues lol)
It fascinates me how much people remember about their lives when they're writing autobiographies, because I remember so little.
