Yumi Stynes is best known as the host of the award-winning podcast and new book Ladies We Need to Talk, where she dives headfirst into the tricky topics women often avoid talking about. Yumi invites her guests to share embarrassing and taboo aspects of their lives, and through that sharing to feel better.

In this conversation with Jamila Rizvi, Yumi speaks candidly and courageously about everything from her troubled relationship with alcohol, to growing up as a mixed race kid to her very fresh separation from the father of her two youngest children.
