This week I spiraled out with super funny stand up comedian and former UN war crimes lawyer Jess Salomon! ( The Tonight Show,  JFL, The El-Salomons) We talked late-in-life ADHD diagnoses, the nightmare of being told you have bad breath, The L Word as a catalyst for Jess' first lesbian experience, Judaism and Zionism, Manatees as the embodiment of shame and SO MUCH MORE. Plus, Jess tells an incredibly embarrassing shame story about accidentally mocking someone to their face and having to sit with the discomfort of what that revealed about her- which inspired me to share a pretty brutal shame story of my own (which Jess considered even worse than hers...but I'll leave that up to you to decide.) (Hers is worse.) (Ok they're both equally terrible.)    Follow Jess on Instagram, Twitter & TikTok @jess_salomon,  and go see her perform live she is a DELIGHT!  Her monthly show Sandwich at Union Hall in Brooklyn, NY is happening next on 4/15!  She also performs with her wife, comedian Eman El-husseini as The El-Salomons, playing with the incredible reality that they are a Jewish & Palestinian gay married couple, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE.
