Author Tara Schuster joins Not Another Personal Finance Podcast to discuss her self-care journey from avoidant 25 year-old to self-care warrior. 

Tara, who decided to get her shit together after drunk dialing her therapist (big yikes), opens up with us and gives honest and practical lessons for healing your past and owning your future so you can radiate strength, bravery, and joy when life gets dark.

Tara is the author of Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies, 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, she served as VP 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 is also a contributor to InStyle, The New Yorker, Forbes and more.

In this episode, we chat about:

• How to reevaluate your personal finances and go down a healthier path
• The cultural obsession of extreme wealth + capitalism
• Why we need to buy the fucking Lilies (no matter what that looks like for you) 
• The importance of taking advantage of the resources you have access to
• Pausing, getting curious, and making a plan when it comes to your money + more
