In this episode of Alec Mapa: Hot Mess with Matthew Dempsey Psychotherapist, Alec, and Mathew welcome Fortune Feimster, comedian, writer, a panelist from Chelsea Lately, and series regular on The Mindy Project. Matt and Alec start the show by talking honestly about their struggles feeling out of alignment. Alec talks about how he often derives his value from his work and Matt opens up about not pursuing things he cared about in the past because he was afraid of being inadequate. Fortune shares the struggles of her upbringing and her choice to use hard times as motivation instead of staying a victim. Fortune opens up about how she never stops working and losing her identity during the pandemic. In a funny and honest conversation, the three explore unlearning the negative stories we tell ourselves, having a toxic relationship with money, the glorification of busy, and the joy of being a homebody.
