3/16/202640 min

“Optimism is not what exists in a vacuum on your best day, but how you're pulling through for yourself on your worst days,” says actress Yara Shahidi. Yara is known for her sitcoms Black-ish and its spinoff Grown-ish. She shares what she learned from creating a “Hard Yes” list, why she chose to attend Harvard after acting, and why she thinks anyone can find their highest order if they pay attention.

    If you love How to be a Better Human, I think you will also love Embodied. It is one of my favorite shows, and it is a show that also just won a big podcasting award for the best wellness and relationships podcast. Each week, host Anita Rao explores under-discussed aspects of the human experience. Think brains, bodies, identity, and more. For example, how do you raise boys in an age of impossible masculinity? Or what is it like to make your living as a sugar baby? I think Anita is one of the greatest interviewers working today. I had such a great time talking to her on our show a few years ago, and it was an honor to get to be on her show recently. In every episode, you will meet people rethinking sex, health, identity, and relationships. It's an honest show, it's an eye-opening show, and it's a show that leaves you with a lot to think about. So check out Embodied wherever you're listening to this right now. [musical flourish] This episode is brought to you by TurboTax Canada. TurboTax Business Assisted.
