Have you ever stopped and realized that although you are ambitious, life is passing you by? Have you been so driven you’ve not taken time to stop and smell the roses? Today’s guest can understand! Leah Pearlman is the co-creator of Facebook’s “Like” button, yet she didn’t initially find her life “Likeable.” She had what many considered a “dream job,” yet she was in so much pain personally. She talks about how she battled bulimia and faced insecurity, no matter how successful things looked on the outside. Leah was unhealthily driven by work, so much so that she couldn’t find time to spend with her dad who was dying of cancer. Realizing her priorities were out of sync, she began drawing a comic strip to share something heavy in a way that felt light and liberating. Through this, she kept drawing, and “Dharma Comics” was born. This is a popular web series which is rapidly growing with an online audience of more than 60,000 followers. She is the author of the book, “DRAWN TOGETHER: A Dharma Comics Collection on the Curious Journey Through Life and Love.” Info: dharmacomics.com
