In her debut self-help memoir, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies, author Tara Schuster candidly recounts her escape from a brutal home life and her efforts to re-parent herself as an adult. In her follow-up, Glow in the F*cking Dark, Tara navigates the emotional ripple effect that occurs after she is fired from her executive post at Comedy Central. In a frank discussion, we talk about how we allow our jobs to define us, journaling out of spite, the validation in defining one’s trauma, and how we cannot (and should not) force forgiveness.
