This week I have a pretty unconventional episode for you all. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I first wanted to talk about a few of the things that I am so grateful for, specifically the amazing friendships I have that keep my spirits bright. I then move into sharing a story that has been my lyrical bible for the past five years. Brian Finkelstein (@bsfinkestein) is a writer who has been nominated for two Emmys. He is also a regular performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and is a host/storyteller for The Moth. In this episode, I am sharing his story "Perfect Moments", which you can also read in the Moth’s first book: 50 trues Stories. His words truly saved my life, and I promise they will have a long-lasting effect on everyone listening as well. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zoescurletis/support

Brian Finkelstein discusses what goes on inside his "How to Hate Yourself" voice. Even though he ran the NY Marathon, has 2 Emmy noms and seems to win every Moth Slam, it somehow persists. INCLUDED is a  clip from a recent LIVE "How to Hate Yourself" show at the Hollywood Improv where he explains why he hates LA. He's very wise and I go so far as to compare his tweets to Pema Chodron quotes, to mixed results. Enjoy! You'll never feel sad again. 

Brian Finkelstein is a writer who has been nominated for two Emmys. He is also a regular performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and is a host/storyteller for The Moth.
