Iliza Shlesinger: Laughter is the Best Medicine

Comedian Iliza Shlesinger is refreshingly candid, especially about things many women can relate to, like the sheer exhaustion that comes from juggling life's demands (dare we say, it's like a badge of honor?), pregnancy loss—a topic that often remains in the shadows, and how our accounts of self-care really go off the rails when bubble baths become the solution to all of life’s problems. 

In this conversation, Kate and Iliza address: 

• A plan to make laughter a national healthcare plan (just kidding)
• How comedy connects us with one another
• Redefining self-care into something a little more practical
