Description
How many of us have the courage to face the friction that comes when we need to grow, but people want us to stay the same? You’ve built an audience as a “truth-teller,” but then what if your understanding of the truth changes?
When you’re an author, artist and performer like Jill Louise Busby, creative growth is essential, but the community that first delivered your moment of “micro-fame” might not be on board. It’s a life challenge we all face, even if we don’t all do it publicly. Laura gets into all that and a whole lot more in her darkly funny and thoroughly revealing conversation with Jill.
Then, we REALLY want you to check out Jill’s debut book, Unfollow Me: Essays on Complicity. It’s an intimate, impertinent, and incisive collection about race, progress, and hypocrisy, and was released in September, 2021 by Bloomsbury Publishing.

Dr. Anna Lembke on Our Dopamine Nation: Have you ever said, “I’d love to stop scrolling/ drinking/ shopping/ gambling, but…?” That’s the power of dopamine. Dr. Anna Lembke is one of our most brilliant science communicators. She’s the New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine Nation, the program director for the Stanford Addiction Medicine Fellowship, and the chief of the Stanford Addiction Medical Dual Diagnosis Clinic. Simply, if there is ONE VOICE you should listen to on why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain, it’s Anna Lembke. In this episode she helps us understand massive topics like self-binding and see that escaping the vicious cycle of compulsive behaviors is so much more than abstinence or will power. This is a hopeful and encouraging episode and one to share with everyone you know who’s said, “I’d love to stop scrolling, but…” Dr. Anna Lembke: https://www.annalembke.com/ Further reading: https://www.annalembke.com/selected-publications Dopamine Nati by Tell Me Something True with Laura McKowen
