Pivots

Every week, Busy and Caissie ask their guests about a major pivot they’ve faced in their lives. Whenever anyone chooses to generously share something that is so deeply personal while also being incredibly relatable, their stories are unforgettable. This week, author and queer activist Glennon Doyle, journalist Lisa Ling, actor and director Natalie Morales, actor Julia Duffy, comedian Nikki Glaser, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars Season 5 Shea Couleé and actor, comedian, writer and director Ike Barinholtz are all talking about events, sometimes joyful, sometimes incredibly painful, that wound up changing the direction of their lives.

It's me, your friend Busy Philipps! My creative partner Caissie St. Onge & I love making things that we believe people need & will love & we’ve had so many plans. We had plans to do a TV show that would shake up late night! And we think it kinda did! For six months. We adored our genius, scrappy creative team at “Busy Tonight” as much as we loved our audience, so when we broke the news that we’d been canceled, we vowed to get back up & make even bigger plans to invent a whole new way of doing things in the entertainment biz, to reunite our beautiful staff & change the game for everyone! An entertainment Utopia! And we were so close, then...the world changed. Now those plans are, at the very least, on hold. So, we've shifted gears, like everyone has had to, & with our friends, we're just doing our best, taking it slow & talking to fascinating friends about how *they* are doing *their* best. They’ll tell us all about those times in their lives when a setback actually led to the right thing. Maybe it was a job that didn't pan out, but opened the door to an even more perfect one, or maybe it's how they studied for years to do the thing they thought was their calling, only to fall into something else that felt like kismet. The thing is, we want to share those moments because right now EVERYBODY is having one of those moments. Maybe we'll all learn something life-changing or maybe we'll just have a conversation where we break down in tears, then laugh at ourselves for crying. Whatever happens, we can assure you, Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best!
