This week I spiraled out with tv writer,  actor, author & comedian Rachel Wenitsky (The Tonight Show,  Friends Who Folk. )  We talked being shameless but not in a girlboss way,  inherited Jewish anxiety,  feeling dumb vs feeling bad, and so much more. Plus, Rachel tells a deeply relatable (especially to anyone with anxiety) shame story about absolutely SPIRALING after adopting her now extremely beloved dog, Bagel.   Follow Rachel on Twitter and Instagram @rachelwenitsky, buy her Good Dogs book series ( https://www.fantasticfiction.com/w/rachel-wenitsky/good-dogs/) and check out her amazing musical comedy duo Friends Who Folk! Their "Relatable Breakup Song" is featured at the end of the episode, and you should really watch the video after to get the full experience (https://youtu.be/OwXEnCgHVWY.)   You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok @elykreimendahl, and the pod on Twitter and Instagram @podshamespiral, where I'm regularly posting fun video clips of especially juicy or hilarious moments from the episodes.   Audio Engineer/Editor: Sarah Gabrielli (check out her amazing podcast about the last lesbian bars in America @cruisingpod on Instagram and TikTok and listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cruising-a-lesbian-bar-road-trip/id1585850925 Original Music: Shadwick Wilde, Instagram and Twitter: @shadwickwilde Cover Art: Cassidy Kulhanek, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok: @heavenlygrandpa New episodes every Tuesday!
