Journals of a Love Addict has always been about telling our stories, even the messy ones. But last summer, Jodi found herself on a stage in Upstate New York—in front of an audience— sharing something she'd kept to herself for twenty years.

And she blames Lauren Weedman.

Lauren is an award-winning performance artist, playwright, author, and teacher — known for Abbott Elementary, Looking, and Hacks. In this episode, Jodi and Lauren talk about why storytelling is therapeutic, why the messy parts are usually the gold, and what happens when you stop rejecting the story you've been most afraid to tell. Plus psychics, ex-husbands, and family of origin. Stay tuned for a special announcement at the end.
