Make Oversharing Your Superpower with Tefi Pessoa

What happens when two professional oversharers get together? Pure magic... and a little chaos. JVN is joined by the incomparable Tefi Pessoa — culture commentator, internet big sister, and now host of her brand-new podcast Tefi Talks.

Come for the tea, stay for the wisdom, and leave with a little extra permission to embrace your inner oversharer. 

Together they cover everything from Kirstie Alley’s problematic family lore and Jessica Biel’s legendary arms to the chaos of mixed doubles and how Tefi turned being the “personality hire” into a full-time job. They talk about embracing your inner oversharer, the art of being a good listener (you won't believe the source for this advice), and how she holds space for everyone — yes, even MAGA and GOP supporters — while staying true to herself.
