About this episode

Sarah Shahi returns to discuss her new book and life changes after divorce.

Sarah Shahi is back on the pod! This time in the wake of her new book Life Is Lifey . After her first appearance on the pod in 2023, she told me she wanted to write a book, so watching this all come to life has been wild (I even wrote the blurb and hosted her book signing !). We talk about the pushback she got from her own team, how crazy it is that  her own life imitated her  art, and how playing Billie on Sex/Life actually changed her real life. We also get into life after divorce, navigating that season, her breakup with Sex/Life co-star Adam Demos, dating in your 40s, red flags, confidence, her love for blow jobs, and starting over when life gets… lifey.
