Every week, we ask our guests about a major pivot they’ve faced in their lives. Whenever anyone chooses to generously share something that is so deeply personal while also being incredibly relatable, their stories are unforgettable. This week, author and queer activist Glennon Doyle, journalist Lisa Ling, actor and director Natalie Morales, actor Julia Duffy, comedian Nikki Glaser, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars Season 5 Shea Couleé and actor, comedian, writer and director Ike Barinholtz are all talking about events, sometimes joyful, sometimes incredibly painful, that wound up changing the direction of their lives. TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of suicide, rape and eating disorders and death. LISTEN HERE.
Also, we’ve said it before, but it can never be said enough. To all of you who have supported this pivot of ours, by subscribing, downloading, sharing, reviewing, commenting and listening, really listening, we love you and thank you so very much for all of it.You have changed our lives and our minds and our hearts for the better. We are so lucky to know you.
We always get those back-to-school feels mid-August, even though we aren’t in school anymore and if we were, we’d be in 45th grade. It always feels like a new year, new you kind of time to us. How are you feeling? Any fresh pivots you’d like to share with us here?

Every year with the "back-to-school" hype really makes me wish I had my Mom here to take me back-to-school shopping, get new sneakers, backpack, rad clothes together, was always a highlight to the end of my summers...even when I was in college, she would still take me ❤️ sometimes I really miss being a kid, sometimes 💗
I don’t know why, but reading 45th grade made me laugh and was a strange source of comfort. Like maybe we’re never out of school, or not learning, or something that doesn’t make me feel like the mid forties lady I am.
