Description

Comedian Iliza Shlesinger is refreshingly candid, especially about things many women can relate to, like the sheer exhaustion that comes from juggling life's demands (dare we say, it's like a badge of honor?), pregnancy loss—a topic that often remains in the shadows, and how our accounts of self-care really go off the rails when bubble baths become the solution to all of life’s problems. 
In this conversation, Kate and Iliza address: 

A plan to make laughter a national healthcare plan (just kidding)
How comedy connects us with one another
Redefining self-care into something a little more practical
