how to be a person in the world (w/ Heather Havrilesky)
“I wish I had taken myself more seriously when I was younger. I wish I had believed in my brain and my talent. Dare to take yourself seriously.”
Heather Havrilesky, the brain & the heart behind Ask Polly, brought it for one of the greatest conversations this podcast has ever seen.
If you are a person who feels doubt or has flaws or ever thinks about the opinions of others… this episode is for you. Her book, How To Be A Person In The World, actually taught me a lot about… how to be a person in the world.
We talked about:
- The year after college graduation (spoiler alert: it’s not always fun)
- Being a woman and owning the permission to have an opinion
- The themes that keep coming up in her advice columns
- Why our culture’s obsession with self-improvement might not be healthy
- And at least 7 more bullets worth of content. Just listen.
Simply put, Heather is the shit. If you only listen to one episode this season, make it this one.
