Welcome to my bi-weekly column, where I'll bring you conversations with well-known personalities sharing their rituals, routines, and experiences on this ride called parenthood. [Grace Bastidas, Editor-In-Chief]( We all need a friend like stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger. Not only can she find the humor in any situation, but she doesn't believe in mom guilt. "Whatever season of life you're in as a woman, there is language to write you off and invalidate you," she tells me. "So, I refuse to feel bad about my choices. There is no reward given for who suffered most as a mother." That's why she is open about everything from her struggle with postpartum depression to her feelings about being away from home for her The Get Ready Tour. As the voice of elder millennials, a term she coined, Iliza reminds us (me included!) that our needs and emotions are all valid. Don't let anyone tell you differently. I recently spoke to her from her home in Los Angeles, where she lives with husband Noah Galuten, daughter Sierra Mae, 2, son Ethan Lyons, 5 months, and her rescue dog Tian Fu. As expected, she didn't hold back.
