In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Tova Leigh—author, performer, storyteller, and fierce champion of female truth-telling—for a raw, funny, and deeply affirming conversation about womanhood, motherhood, and reclaiming our voices.

From her beginnings as a lawyer to becoming a powerful voice on social media with over 2.2 million followers, Tova shares her journey of reinvention and how owning her stories helped her heal, connect, and thrive.

We talk about the moments that changed everything:
🎙️Writing her first viral blog post while drowning in the chaos of early motherhood
🎙️Publishing her new book Good Girls Gossip and the surprising feminist history of the word
🎙️Embracing storytelling, performance, and comedy as tools for healing
🎙️Why saying the “unsayable” gives others permission to feel less alone

She opens up about marriage, boundaries, guilt, rage, and resilience, and why the most personal stories often resonate the deepest.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one thinking, “Is it just me?”, this episode will remind you: you’re never alone, and your voice matters more than you think.

So pour a cup of tea and settle in for this funny, fierce, and uplifting episode that celebrates being gloriously, imperfectly human.
