I sat down with my good friend Zarna Garg, and what unfolded was a raw, unfiltered conversation about rejection, resilience, and rewriting your story — even when it feels like the world just slammed a door shut.

Zarna is one of the funniest, most driven people I know. From stay-at-home mom to touring stand-up comic, bestselling author, and opener for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, her journey is straight-up bonkers. But the real story here? She just got devastating news — a major network passed on her sitcom — and still showed up with grace, grit, and good humor.

This episode is for every underdog, every immigrant, every late bloomer, every person who’s ever asked, “Is it too late for me?” Spoiler alert: It’s not. Her story proves it.

We talk about:

📺 Getting so close to selling a sitcom… then losing it
👩‍👧‍👦 Going from full-time mom to full-blown creator at 45
🧠 Processing rejection without letting it break you
🎤 Why she performs at funerals (yes, really)
🧳 The immigrant advantage — and why Zarna celebrates it
📚 Her new book This American Woman and the wild endorsements on the cover
🧠 Why I hate “imposter syndrome” and how Zarna turned pain into power

If you need a laugh, a mindset shift, or a hard reset on your perspective — you’re gonna love this one.

🎧 Listen. Laugh. Get fired up.
