Her debut book, I’M JUDGING YOU: The Do-Better Manual was an instant New York Times best-seller. It’s a collection of essays that critiques our fame-obsessed, social media-centric lives, while encouraging us to do better.

She hosts a podcast called Rants and Randomness where she shares her most pressing rants, raves and faves while interviewing some of the most interesting people you know (and some you might not). The University of Illinois alum is a sought-after speaker who has taken the stage at the Obama White House, MAKERS Conference, SXSW, Social Media Week, among others. Her TED talk "Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable" has over 3 million views.
