If you tuned in to the mini series, you’ve already heard from Tara, and this is a continuation of that conversation. 

Where we dive deeper into Tara’s approach to self-care and how through simple, daily rituals, She transformed her mind, body, and relationships and then wrote a book about it! The book is called buy yourself the fuckign lilies. Through her book she hopes to help readers do the same. Her aim for the book is to help readers to create a life they truly, totally f*cking LOVE.

I can tell you, the book delivers. 

Tara Schuster is an author, playwright, and accomplished entertainment executive, currently serving as Vice President of Talent and Development at Comedy Central. She is currently the Executive in Charge of Lights Out with David Spade, was the Executive in Charge of the Emmy® and Peabody Award-winning Key & Peele, the Emmy® Award winning @Midnight, and numerous other shows including Another Period, Detroiters, and Hood Adjacent.

Tara’s first book, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies: and Other Rituals to Fix Your Life from Someone Who has Been There,  has been chosen by People Magazine for New Non-Fiction, is a starred review in Publishers Weekly , and has been covered by Forbes, The Hollywood Reporter, Newsweek, and Parade Magazine among others.

Her work has bene praised by Chelsea Handler, Adam Grant, and Glennon Doyle.

In this chat she tells us what self-care really means and 

  • What it means to “Buy Yourself the Fucking Lilies”
  • Why the small details of our lives matter.
  • Tara’s childhood, and her decision to ‘re parent’ herself and how she did it
  • Casting yourself as the hero, and not the victim. 
  • Why Answering the basic questions about yourself, and what works best for you. 
  • Tara’s three recommendations for your first steps into self-care.

I think self-care can get a bad rap, but there’s NOTHING wrong with wanting to take good care of yourself. There is nothing wrong with indulging in things you need to feel like a great version of yourself. And there is no shame in seeking support. We ALL need support.

I hope this conversation gives you some of the tools you need to take care of YOU and reminds you to love you just a little bit more each day. 

Stay tuned at the end of the episode to learn about this week’s challenge and another organization doing good and spreading love.
