Linda spends an afternoon with Emmy-nominated TV writer, comedian, podcaster and author Chelsea Devantez (The Problem with Jon Stewart, Girls5Eva, Not Dead Yet). They nestle on Chelsea’s couch to talk about the ugly side of relationships; from friendship breakups to Chelsea’s traumatic experience in her first relationship which lingered for decades afterwards. 

You’ll also hear about Chelsea’s history of overworking. Do you consider yourself a workaholic? And while a lot of us may be familiar with the “fight or flight” stress response, what about “fawning”? It’s a Tough Love lesson that is all too relatable!

Chelsea's memoir “I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This (But I’m Going To Anyway)” is out June 4 via www.harpercollins.com/pages/chelseadevantez
