Genna is fat. They are also queer and nonbinary. All of these things can make a person feel marginalized in a straight, cisgender, thin-obsessed society … but for Genna, it’s being fat that’s hardest.

Asking for a Friend Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

When romantic relationships end, there’s usually a clean cut – a moment, a conversation, an argument that ends things for good. When friendships dissolve, the break is usually way less clear, if it’s clear at all.

Why do we hold on to things we no longer need? For many of us, it’s because they remind us of who we were and who we thought we might become.

Matchmaker, Make Me a Match May 31, 2022

Show notes

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

Last year, we did a virtual live show on Valentine’s Day, and Nora — who considers herself a bit of a matchmaker — did some matchmaking. And while she was doing that, the live show comments section was popping off with other Terribles looking for love. This gave Nora the harebrained idea to make … a matchmaking episode. Consider this the podcast version of that “Great Expectations” video dating service from the ‘90s.

We're no longer taking submissions for these daters, but we hope you enjoy the episode anyway!

Girlboss or Bust May 24, 2022

Show notes

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

Girlboss culture is now, as they say, cringe, but during the 2010s, SO MANY of us thought we were on the precipice of busting through that glass ceiling. We thought we could rise and grind, hustle our way to the life of our dreams, and as long as we loved what we did we wouldn’t work a day in our lives. Leigh Stein is also a recovering girlboss, who went into debt building an organization that supported women but left her burned all the way out.

How Long Should Grief Last? May 17, 2022

Show notes

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

In March, a New York Times article made the rounds titled, “How Long Should It Take to Grieve? Psychiatry Has Come Up With an Answer.” And if that sentence alone makes you roll your eyes and want to punch an inanimate object, you’ve come to the right place.

Nora read the article (twice) and had … some thoughts. So did her friend — and former TTFA guest — Brittany Freeman Jean-Louis.
