I'm convinced Laura Clery was sent from above to make sure no woman felt alone in a shitty feeling ever again. We talked for over an hour about everything from chronic people pleasing, redefining “rock bottom” with addiction, ADHD, to abusive relationships and being brutally honest with ourselves. Speaking of honesty, this episode is a refreshingly truthful and vulnerable one–you'll laugh, you might cry, but I know for sure you'll relate to something in our conversation. 

 

Laura reminded me that no one is more scared of our truth than ourselves, and she's one of the most generous people when it comes to sharing her story. We talked about going through your significant other's phone, hiding the shitty parts of relationships, and birthing surprises that were left out of our sex-ed class. Laura shared her son's recent diagnosis of autism and how she chooses to look at it. All in all, this is a no-filter, no-bullshit episode and I can't wait for you to hear it.

 

Laura Clery, internet influencer and New York Times bestselling author of Idiot, is back with her new book IDIOTS: Marriage, Motherhood, Milk & Mistakes. In her first book, Idiot, Laura gave us mind-blowingly personal life stories about addiction, toxic relationships, and recovery. Here she is two kids later asking, “How did we get here?” Sex. Sex is how we got here.
