Your timing, delivery, the picture you paint in our collective minds and the ridiculously funny places you take us…. Pure joy. And. Your acting, the choices of material and who you surround yourself with are all fabulous to watch. Again, you inspire your audience to lean in, to hear you. Thank you for being you!💖💕💖

@LokeyeMC Ай бұрын

Great comment. I've always loved Tig but never realized how much I do lean in every time she speaks. It's like her every movement is fascinating and like a quiet contagious joy. I suppose this is what a highly funny and intelligent human looks like when they're truly in their integrity. Or perhaps it's just the Scott Pilgrim theory that great power comes with being vegan.

Tig, you hit on something with the "Am I cursed?" feeling prior to a cancer diagnosis. Same here. A bunch of bizarre and serious health issues happen...Am I cursed?...and then a Stage 3 cancer diagnosis. As a physician, this may be something to watch for.

@wendyl6738 Ай бұрын

It was interesting to hear her speak on how dramatically she changed after her cancer and after her mother passing and I can relate because I changed dramatically after I was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic at 12. My life had no choice but to change at that point. To survive. I'm 53 now but besides diet changes, it changes who you are. I'm definitely tougher but in other thought processes too. While it's a pain in the ass, I'm smarter about decisions. I'm a huge fan of hers and this was a great conversation between you two.

@cassandrashelton3690 Ай бұрын

This comment almost made me cry. I'm currently going thru a big medical change and I know my life will have to change and I'm honestly pretty scared that I can't do it and I'll never feel better then I do now. It's nothing as terrifying as diabetes thankfully but after 35 years of doing the same things and having to change basically my entire lifestyle is daunting. Especially while I'm still in the testing and pain phase. I hope I can be as strong as you were at just 12.

It's because she has an intimidating conversation style. She is very quick and is able to pick your sentences apart just after you've said them. It makes it hard to talk to someone like that you are always editing your internal dialogue more before you speak. It can be exausting even in a person you like
