This week I'm having a fun conversation with Lane Moore, who was the "sex / relationships" editor at Cosmo, is an award-winning actor, author, and comedian. Moore is most famously known as the creator and star of one of the most well-reviewed comedy shows in the world, Tinder Live, where she projects her dating app onto a screen, swipes through profiles live on stage, and the audience votes whether she swipes right or left, to cathartic, hilarious, and surprisingly kind results.
We talk about:
- Fun moments on her Tinder Live shows
- Her books "How to be Alone" (and it starts with accepting who we are and what we need) and "How to Find Your People"
- What self-love and self-worth really means (I love her defintion)
- How a pet can help you feel healthy, happy, and unconditional love and heal from heartbreak
- How to form authentic adult friendships
