Summary

Kate gets her first professional chemical peel and Doree tries a new, fancy skincare device before comedian and writer Aparna Nancherla joins them to chat about her new book Unreliable Narrator: Me, Myself and Impostor Syndrome. They go deep into what it’s like to get what you want but not feel like you deserve it, the joy of starting the day with a mini dance party, learning how to be engaged and informed without using social media, and loving the day-to-day rather than the end goal.
