EP220: How We Reparent Ourselves with Tara Schuster

Tara Schuster had a rough childhood. By her mid-twenties, she was checking all the boxes on the outside but she was falling apart on the inside. Once she hit rock bottom, she began the process of rebuilding herself, essentially giving herself the parenting she’d never received, in order to start becoming the person she wanted to be. Her story and her process line the pages of her runaway hit, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies, where she shares all the ways she learned to put herself back together.     Guest Bio Tara Schuster is an accomplished entertainment executive turned mental health advocate and best-selling author. She is the author of the forth coming Glow in the F*cking Dark, and the runaway hit, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies, a finalist for Goodread’s Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020. It was selected by Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, Goop, Publishers Weekly, and many more as one of the best books of the year on mental health and self-care. Previously, Tara served as vice president of talent and development at Comedy Central, where she was the executive in charge of such critically acclaimed shows as the Emmy and Peabody Award–winning Key & Peele. She has contributed to InStyle, The New Yorker, and Forbes, among others. She lives in Los Angeles.   For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/episode220   Learn more about coaching: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com   Mentioned in this Episode Guest’s book: Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies: And Other Rituals to Fix Your Life, from Someone Who's Been There https://www.amazon.com/Buy-Yourself-cking-Lilies-Rituals/dp/0525509909   Guest’s website: http://www.taraschuster.com/     Host Bio Kristen Manieri is a coach who works with teams to increase both productivity and wellbeing.
