It’s nice to feel comfortable. But it’s not where a lot of growth happens. Author, actress, and creator Lilly Singh says she’s really grateful to have a high tolerance for being uncomfortable. She tells Reshma about how stepping out of her comfort zone has served her well in her career, why her journey with authenticity hasn’t been a linear one, and the seven-year-long process to create her new movie, Doin’ It.

…Is this it? That’s the question our host Reshma Saujani asks herself daily. She’s the founder of two successful nonprofits, she’s married to a great guy, and she’s raising two beautiful children. She’s gotten everything she’s ever wanted, so why does she feel so unsatisfied? Is this a woman’s version of a midlife crisis? She’s determined to figure it out, and with the strength of her group chat behind her, she’s calling in reinforcements. From Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, to Emily Oster and Cheryl Strayed, to experts, friends, authors and more, Reshma’s going to help us all figure out how we stop trying to just get through this time of life… and actually start living it.
