In Praise of Giving Up

Episode notes

This episode is for everyone who is haunted by the notion that they’re not self-helping enough.  Fans of NPR’s Ask Me Another can hear host Ophira Eisenberg on the Tiny Victories hotline. That show ended it’s 9-year run on NPR last week (Sept. 24th), but this week you can hear Ophira call in to the Tiny Victory hotline about her relationship to sleep. Plus, we hear from Meredith about why she’s throwing in the towel on therapy. And Annabelle sums up the common theme linking both calls by quoting Nietzsche.

Call Our Hotline with YOUR Tiny Victory: (323) 285-1675

We want folks to share their tiny victories on our hotline because, frankly, we’ll assume we’re just talking into the void every week and nothing matters. Prove us wrong. Did you finally do that thing you were putting off? Tiny victory! Reconnect with someone you haven’t been in touch with for ages? Victory! We only ask that you try to keep messages to under a minute so we’re able to play it on the show.

If you prefer, you can record a tiny victory on your phone and then email us the audio.
