Are you titillated by witnessing a stranger's vulnerability? We see you. That’s why we love memoirs. I’m your host, April Hirschman, life coach, author, and stand-up comic. Join us while I interview memoir authors about their dirty little secrets, and what books they’re reading in the bathroom. We’ll share erotic breath (hot!), pick tarot cards (woo-woo!), and chit-chat about what’s in their heart (sigh.) Ready to jump out of droll conversations about taxes, insurance and lawn care? YOU’RE invited to our modern salon whenever you need a pick-me-up. Let’s make life bold, vibrant, and beautiful.

Join us while I interview memoir authors about their process, their lives, what makes them get up in the morning. But wait, there’s more! We’ll share erotic breath, pick tarot cards, dig into some pretty deep stuff - or not. It’s a mixed bag around here.
