For Parvati Shallow, life is a game—and she's playing it authentically. She joins Mo this week to discuss what it's been like to take control of her own narrative after nearly two decades of appearing on reality TV competitions, how she creates a genuine rapport with on-screen allies, and why there's more to survival than fight or flight.

You can follow Parvati on Instagram @pshallow. Make sure to pre-order her forthcoming memoir Nice Girls Don't Win, and subscribe to her podcast of the same name.
