How to Trust Your Gut ft. Tareasa “ReesaTeesa” Johnson

#361: Tareasa “ReesaTeesa” Johnson went viral in February 2024 with "Who the F Did I Marry?", the 50-part TikTok series that ended up in front of half a billion people. This week she's back with something different: her memoir, "What TF Do I Do Now?" just dropped, and she’s bringing us even deeper into her story.

We also get into the parts nobody wants to admit out loud: what she calls the viral tax, the real cost hiding behind every brand deal and TV offer, and the loneliness that shows up even when your name is a hashtag half the world knows. She's honest about the fact that alone and lonely aren't the same thing, but they've overlapped for her more than she wanted to say in the book.
