Summary
I'm joined by Laura Belgray, author of the book "Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You’re the F-ing Worst" to discuss how to let go of what other people and society expect of you. We chat about embracing your flaws, owning your timeline, not comparing yourself to others, how your worth doesn't need to be attached to someone else liking you, and more. Laura shares her dating mishaps and adventures from when she was in her 20s, the pressure she felt to want to have children when she wasn't sure what she wanted, and the beautifully uncommon story of how she and her now-husband met.

| 0:04.8 | Hey guys, it's Alana and welcome back to another episode of Seeing Other People. |
| 0:10.1 | Together, we're navigating modern dating alongside experts and real-life daters who are sharing |
| 0:14.9 | their stories. Don't have a date for tonight? No problem. Come learn, laugh, and maybe even |
| 0:20.3 | cry along with us as we navigate the dating scene together. |
| 0:23.7 | Oh my God, you guys. I am so excited for today's recording this episode. We have Laura Belgrade. |
| 0:30.0 | Laura, welcome to seeing other people. Thank you so much. I'm so thrilled to be here. |
| 0:35.4 | I'm so excited. First of all, congratulations on your book, |
| 0:38.6 | Tough Titties on Living Your Best Life when you're the Effing Worst. Question, is it effing or fucking? |
| 0:44.3 | It's effing. I mean, it's spelled effing, and I prefer to say effing. I don't know why, |
| 0:51.0 | because I love to drop a good F-b bomb, but somehow it feels jarring to say when |
| 0:56.5 | you're the fucking worst. And you know what? I hesitated about the title a little bit because |
| 1:01.1 | I, you know, people are like, but you're not the worst. I'm like, it's not being about a |
| 1:05.9 | terror. It's not about being a terrible person. It's more about saying like, oh, I'm so sorry, |
| 1:10.1 | I'm the worst. It's not |
| 1:11.4 | about being the absolute worst. It's being low-key, kind of the worst. So effing feels more |
| 1:16.6 | appropriate. I support that and respect it. And I think it is a great title. And I just want to kind |
| 1:22.8 | set the stage here with, I have become obsessed with you in the least creepy way possible, which is part of the |
| 1:31.0 | reason why I'm so excited for this episode because I know every single person listening is also |
